JUNIOR LIFE ·visitors Make It Pretty Tough for Young Stanley One day Mrs. Groves gave all of the boys and girls in our room an assignment on South America. We were to give our recitations the next day. That day came and a lot of New Trier students came to hear it, also Mr. Todd a;ml some teachers. I was the first to g1ve mine. I was going along fine when I began to get rattled because of so much company and Mrs. Groves had to tell me what to say and so I ended fairly well. But those people did laugh !-Stanley Cochran, Howard 6B Talks on Art Last Monday. afternoon, before the art class of the Woman's club of Wilmette, Francis Marion Arnold talked on painting~ of the Italian Renaiss·· ance. Mr. Arnold spoke of the historic aml devotional pictures, saying that the former reproduces the actual setting of whatever· Christian incident is depicted, while the latter uses for a background the artist's own city, its buildings and people. The Florentine, Venetian and Umbrian schools brought art to the people, because they saw themselves in the pictures. There were several types of painting before the Renaissance : the symbolic figures on the walls of the Catacombs ; th.~ Byzantine, which brought in the element of color; and the frescoe painting, which came about with the building of Italian churches where a great wall space had to be filled. The latter portrayed the events in the life of the Virgin and Christ. The. Romanesque took this up, but in order to point out the corrupt lives of people, pictures of the last judgment and the tortures of hell were used. The Gothic carried this out in a more human way, bringing in the element of love. Cimibue, the Italian artist in Flor-· ence, was the first to recognize in art the strongest element in the worldlove, and Giotto brought painting into the realm of human comprehension by making his ~fadonna a peasant woman. Masaccio followed a hundred years later and introduced the study of anatomy and perspective for the first time. Fra Angelico refused to follow this new trend, but made his pictures in pure color, at1d very spiritual. However, the main stream of · , Sixth Graders Write Play Around Glories of Rome The sixth grade class of Miss Scheidroom at Howard school have begun to write their plays on Rome as an empire and ~Iistress of the world.

We will haw· anothf.'r one soon.-George Green, 6B Howard v Italian painting was to make it less heavenly, and more earthly. Fra Filippo Lippi's work is typical, and in his time he used living women as models for his Madonna and saints. Chirlandajo carried this still further by actually using sacred pictures as an excuse for portraits. Bohicelli, losing his faith in Christianity, and not quite believiflg in the old Greek myths, has invested his paintings with sadness, and he used the old myths as if he wished they were true. As for Leonardo da Vinci, he was probably the most versatile man the world has ever known. His life was devoted to a search for the secret of existence. His "Mona Lisa," and "The Last Supper" bear this out. Mr. Arnold devoted a few minutes to these two pictures, pointing out the rhythm, of heads, arms and hands in the latter. Raphael was entirely different from da Vinci in every way. He was a geni us, and carried painting almost to the highest point. He was the greatest painter of Madonnas the world has ever known, and they were all mysterious. churchly, theological Madonnas. The Sistine Madonna is the supreme one. Correggio, whose "Holy Night," is so well known, made a wonderful use of chiarascuro, placing in contrast the blackest blacks and the lightest lights. Then came Michelangelo, who brought Italian painting to its highest point. He painted the whole story of the creation on the ceiling of the Sistine chapel in the Vatican. Mr. Arnold spoke of the Venetian school, which did for color what the Florentines did for form, and ga.ve brief comments on outstanding Venetian artists. Less than a month after publication, "The Sealed Trunk," by Henry Kitchell Webster, "Queen Cleopatra," by Talbot Mundy, and "The Spider and the Fly," by Clive Arden, are each in their third large printing.
