Our room, 8B Stolp, went to the Art Institute November 5. We left the Wifmette station on a special North Shore train about 12:54. We had an uneventful tr.Jp and at 1 :45 o'clock arrived at the Adams street station. We left our train there and walked In couples to the Art Institute. We waited there about five minutes and then our guide, Miss Upton, told us to take off our wraps and take a camp stool. . We went to the same room that we went to last year and reviewed what we had studied the year before. We remember that most of the pictures of the middle ages were well balanced by ha ving the center of Interest in the center and by having the smaUer and less important people on the side. We also remember that most of the pictures were of the Christian religion due to the lack of books and people who could read them. The pictures were used to teJI Bible stories. We found that the perspective In the pictures was poor and they used too much detail. · We then went to the Hutcheson gallery and Miss Upton asked us questions and we answered them. Miss Upton told us that Da Viney was the first painter to paint babies correctly but that the painters we were to study were Northern painters who came 100 years later· than Da Viney. Van Dyke we were told was a Dutchman who painted very realistic babies. We also found that his shadowing was good. We then studied other pictures and went downstairs about 3 :30 o'clock to get our wr11ps. We took the 3 :45 ~pe cial train home and got home about 4 :15 o'clock.-Willfam H.

We took a car at the Wilmette avenue station at ten minutes of one and from there we rode down to Adams street and walked the one block to the Art Institute. After we had taken our wraps to the cloak room, we foJlowed Miss Upton to a room that had quite a bit of Gothic and Roman architecture. We listened intently while Miss Upton explained about the great massive church front that was in l'ront of us. She explained how several sculptors worked on this church and how their different Ideals of architecture was modeled out on tqe wall. This church was made over in Europe for the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893. We saw many other interesting designs of the Roman and Gothic architecture. When we had finished, Miss Upton com: plimented us on our good conduct and sensible que~tions. \Ve were very surprised, too, when we found it was 3:30. because the time had gone so quickly. We then went to the cloak room and got our wraps.-Enid Henderson, 7B Howard. Views of Hawaii Presented Before 8th Grade Pupils Last Tuesday we had a very interesting assembly. Mr. Alva Janes showed us some pictures from the Hawaiian Islands. The pictures were colored. Some of the pictures he had taken himself and that made it all the more interesting to us. The pictures gave us a very good idea of the life on these islands and the side the visitor sees when they go there. These islands have only been civilized 72 years. There was one old lady who was 87 years old when Mr. Janes was there two years ago and so she was a cannibal fifteen years of her life and lived on the flesh of her own people. He showed a picture of her and she certainly looked queer. He showed many other pictures of the people who live ov the islands. A certain kind of these people look alike or rather the boys and the girls look alike. Their hair sticks right out from their heads and it can't be made to stay down. We saw pictures of their houses and the materials they are made from. We learned about the trees and such things that grow on on the land and what a different country it is from ours. We saw pictures of the only active volcano. There were pictures of it before it went into action ·and pictures of it when it was in action. Mr. Janes said it was about 300 or 400 feet deep and more than 200 feet long. He went down in it when he was there. Mr. Janes did not have time to finish showing us all the pictures before the bell rang. He showed us a few more until about ten minutes after 1 o'clock -Beth Mcllraith, 8A Stolp Girl Scouts Enjoy Own · Hallowe'en Festivities 8A: Janet .
