Pictures i'm q Series Tell a Story

One picture is always good
but there are many snapshot stu
ations in which it is a shame not
to take a whole series. Pictures in
series can tell a heartwarming
story of family life that will be
a treasured part of the snapshot
album.
The small fry of the household
are always good subject material
for picture story. The day in the
life of baby is so worth record
ing. Flash on camera makes such
pictures easy to take. You can fol-
low baby'sl activities wherever
they normally take place-from
nursery to bath to the kitchen.
And, if that is baby's day to go
out, perhaps for visit to grand
mother, it's a wise mother indeed
who takes the flash camera along
to include this part of the day in
the picture story.

In addition to making up an in

album, these picture stories can
bring pleasure to other people as
we'll. Out-of-town friends and
relatives would be delighted to
receive a note from you enclosing
set of snapshots like those shown
above. Fond grandparents would
be pleased as punch to receive a
small album which traces in pic
lures the activities of favorite
grandchild in a typical day.
It's always good idea to share
your snapshots. Extra prints from
your negatives are inexpensive
and are bound to be welcomed by
others who share your interest in
the subject. We all like to find let
ters in our mailboxes-but a letter
with a snapshot, or a series of
snapshots, is something extra
special. John Van Guilder

WHEN the first class was
" graduated from Trinity
College a half century ago,
June 2, 1904. the campus on
Michigan avenue Me-, across
from Soldiers Home, was con-
sidered away out in the coun-
try" Not even a streetcar line
went that way.
Previously, part of the tract
had been a gypsy camp. In
the rear, on Lincoln road, was
the Red Rose Inn, rendezvous
for roisterers who went there
by Tallyho coaches and open
barouche.
To get rid Of such nuisance,
Trinity bought the old tavern
and built an addition. This
is now one of the campus
buildings. Cuvilly Hall, named
for the French town where
the foundress of the Sisters
of Notre Dame, Julie Billiart,

Trinity got its start in a rather
strange way. Sister Mary
EuphraSia, superior Of the
North Capitol Street Convent.
in old Swampoodle, thought a
country residence for the nuns
in summer could serve as a
girls academy during the rest
of the year. She proposed the
idea to Sister Julie, Provencial
Superior of the Sisters Of
Notre Dame de Namur, who
asked sanction of Cardinal
Gibbons. He. in turn, suggest
ed consultation with Mons.
Thomas J. Conaty, rector of
Catholic University.
It was finally decided that
a college, not an academy, was
needed, not for Washington
alone, but for the entire
country.
So Trinity came into being,
starting with one wing Of its
present main building. This
structure, conspicuous because
of its red roof and massive
dome, is now flanked by four
others on the 33-acre campus.
One of these, Notre Dame
Chapel, is considered an out
standing example of church
architecture.

BLuftOn Museum PROPOSAL

The Bluffton community, with its
predominantly Swiss background, is
in a unique position to establish a
museum to preserve the arts and
crafts of one of the numerous ma
tionalities of settlers which has made
Ohio "the greatest melting pot state
in the countryns Erwin C. Zepp, di-
rector of the Jhio State Museum.
told a local ggoup meeting Wednes-
day evening of last week in Mussel-
man Library.
"If you establish q museum here,
make it strictly Swiss and Mennon-
ite," he suggested. .s.
Pointing out that there are hun
reds of collecting spots for early
American museum pieces, he said
that Bluffton could add the neces-
sary extra touch of collecting only
the material of a distinct type of
early Ohio settler.
Mr.. Zepp further told the group
that such a collection properly housed
and publicized would have an excel
lent tourist stopper" potential. He
urged that the museum be located
if possible, on the main street of
town preferably on first-floor
level.
"The easier you make it for peo.
pie to stop and look the more people
will visit your museum" he said.
The collection should also provide
