J. C.5s an¬ nual art week, featuring an exhibi¬ tion of student work, will be held from May 6 to 29, inclusive, in the Jane Addams building. Although no fixed visiting ar¬ rangements will be enforced, the general outline is: Monday, open¬ ing; Tuesday, faculty; Wednesday, students, and Thursday, parents. However, those in charge wish to hav it known that everyone is wel¬ come during any one of these days. In order to have the display of a formal nature, art classes during the exhibit week will convene in 200-C and the vacated rooms and halls will be devoted solely to gal¬ lery purposes. A well balanced collection has been brought together, including studies in craft, creative design, composition, landscape, illustration and lettering. . As an added attraction, a mar¬ ionette play called “Suicide” will be given on Wednesday during the club period in room 200-B. There will be two showings of this puppet comedy, but the capacity of the room will permit only a limited number to attend each perform¬ ance. Miss Carolyn Woodhull, ad¬ viser, stated that a great deal of : preparation has been made to have 1 the play both entertaining and j clever, especially in regard to the art interest of the characters. The formal opening of the new; social hall in the В building will also occur during next week, a tea being served on Tuesday afternoon from 2 to 6 o’clock. This room, | which was previously called the ! model apartments, has been redec¬ orated and repainted in the latest twentieth century styles. It is use- able for members of the student body by reservation for meeting, cluib parties, and social gatherings. Faculty members of the depart¬ ment sponsoring art week are: Miss Katherine McGorray, Miss Juliet Gifford, Miss Mary Sullivan, Miss Carolyn Woodhull, Mrs. Helen Hunt Effinger, and Archibald We- demeyer.
