HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR PROM
Principal Berlin and Class Officers
Discuss Plans for the Annual
Event.

Last week Professor Berlin, the B3 and
AS class presidents and vice-presidents
talked over the plans for the annual juno
Prom. After the officers had been advised
they called a class meeting.
The Junior class is very large tins year
and all were present. They completely.
filed the community room and some had
10 stand.
Professor Berlin pronounced himself IN
favor of this affair and was we'll pleased
with the way the meeting WAS held and
the attitude shown by the class.
The meeting WAS then handed over to
the officers, Mr. Milford and Miss Bounds
(A-3) MI Haddock and Miss Seiler
(B-3l The first topic for discussion was
tho time. January % was decided upon
for the date In reference TO a hall, two

occasion

POULTRY SHOOT
Interesting Event at Bellevue Traps on
Saturday Afternoon.

Many local and out-of-town marks
men attended the poultry shoot held Mt
Bellevue Saturday and a number of fine
looking turkeys and chickens were taken
home. Joe Ben McIlugh was high winner
with two turkeys to his credit and j. III.
Dawson was high winner of chickens, with
two to his credit. When the traps were
opened II was found that all of them were
frozen up and could not be used until
fires were made and the pipes thawed.
Only two traps could be used and after
the shoot started one Of them broke so the
club was obliged To finish with one trap
This prevented holding as many events
as the club expected 10 hold The follow
ing shooters were winners of turkeys

they eXpend more time, and paint. upon
their pictures" but this, after all. is
no criterion. A work of art is not to
be estimated according TO the bill
which the painter has run up at the
color mans. Mr.. Manigault and Mr.
Maurer and Mr.. Walt Kuhn may be as
lavish of their materials as they
choose, but since they have nothing to
communicate that is of interest, and no
technical virtues to exploit. we find
them as tiresome as Mr.. Sheeler and
his barns
Scattered through the mass there are
a few things which set us to thinking
upon what the artists concerned have
missed. There is Mr.. Henry L. McFee.

turbs the immoblity of thick LEAKAGE
Why, we wonder, does he not settle
down to master his craft and then
paint some fine pictures? Then there
is the decorative instinct which must
harber somewhere in the makeup Of
Mr. Maurice B. prendewast. What a
pity that it should be lost in the
spotty, woolly method he affects. And
Mr.. Arthur B. Davies, whom we can

MIN is the great central virtue of her
work, virtue as independently her
own as it is his, the virtue of inten-
sity OF conception. Her portraits arc
magnificently felt. The first suggcs-
ton they make is that she has appre-
hended her sitter with the faculty OF
the true portrait painter not only ac-
curately, but finely, emotionally, with
polgnantly artistic divination of pre-
clsely what to record and what to
omit When an artist has so firm a
grasp as this upon the fundamentals
OF his problem it is odds that he will
keep pace, in respect to technique and
style, quite as a matter of course. And
quite artlessly, too. There are some
things here which in spite of their
merit seem Il little stiff and self-con-
sclous. Such an admirable vet repel-
lent portrait is the "Mchael Stillman,"

ERNST, modelling his obscure subjects

some queer theory of his own. and In
the long run achieving little more than

The advocates of this half-baked kind
of art will assert, of course. that those
who do not care for it are blind 10
its secret This is worse than i'm
rertinence. 1t is pure insolence. The
burden Of proof lies with the modern

substitution of vinegar for vine ANY
one with a palate can tell the differ

teries into which it is necessary to be
indicted before one can penetrate 70

Weber's jeiune drawings Of misshapen

three mildly promising landscapes.
agreeable IN color, are the sole points
OF relief in weller of boredom. The
trouble with the modernist is simply a
refusal to play the game. to employ the
iudiments of art in the making Of
picture, and while making this refusal
he pretends that the crudties and &C
centricities which he substitutes are
the hallmarks of originality Some
times. as in the case of Mr.. Davies,
who can draw and paint like an angel
if he wishes. he makes the choice out
of sheer perversity. But, as rule, we
believe, the modernist is modernst
because he cannot help himself, be-
cause he don't know how to produce a
genuine work of art by recognized
methods.
