Art in Everyday Life Y STUDYING the different periods of the types of home furnishings, we are endeavoring to have our own homes become more harmonious in the application of the principles of design. By various discussions on the topics The Proper Use of Decoration, Good Arrangement, The Back- ground of a Room, Pictures, and Different Types of Furniture, we tried to create in the members of this club a desire for more cheerful and better homes. By this We did not aim to have the girls discard all that they previously had had, but we thought that by adding a touch of color here and there to old furniture we could perhaps improve our home atmosphere. We discussed the harmonious balance of a room, and by visiting several art centers in Cin- cinnati we received a knowledge of how these principles could be applied. We believe having the younger generation cultivate a desire for the beautiful in art, will be a means for securing World Peace. Preridefzt . . ...............

Senior Handicraft Club HE Senior Handicraft Club, sponsored by Miss Davis, a newcomer to XX'estern Hills High School, has proven as enjoyable as it has instructive. As this is a Senior club. and most of the members have had arts and crafts in previous years, the problems made have been of good design as well as very useful. Purses and belts of leather, scarves and handkerchiefs batiked in silk and linen, paper knives and book ends in metal. are examples of what have been produced. By working with several different problems in this manner, the members have become acquainted with the possibilities and limitations of various materials. Several of the students have not only made articles for themselves and gifts for members of their families, but have been able to earn some spending money designing and making articles for their friends and teachers. Early in the year the members elected the following as officers of the club: Preridenf . . . . . ..,.,..

Senior Poster Club HE Senior Poster Club is composed almost entirely of commercial art students. This club is sponsored by Mr. Dauterich and is well organized, having a president and a secretary. The members worked out commercial problems in contemporary modern art. The first problem was a commercial display card for the Santa Fe Rail- road. Later they made a catalogue layout including cover page, calendar page. descriptive page, and a monogram page. General criticism by the students brought out good points and reasons explaining why some work was more outstanding. The original ideas for the Santa Fe Railroad problem included modern- istic interpretations of Rocky Mountains, Indian chiefs, and locomotives. Some of the members of the club made silhouettes which they painted on glass with black enamel. Wlien this step was completed, a passe partout binding held a silver paper which showed through the glass as a glowing background. Several of the boys worked out batik wall-hangings. These were first drawn and then traced to silk. The colors then were planned and the process of painting and dyeing completed very acceptable additions to any home.
