Many Fine Entries In Exhibit Possibly no other place is so alive with interest and anticipation as is, the high school, its students and faculty members, as the time draws near for the opening of another JApril Art Show. The exhibit will open Sunday at 9 a.m. to remain open daily in-' in-' eluding Sundays from 9 a.m. to i 9 p.m., until the last day of April. I The formal opening program is scheduled for Thursday, April 1, at 2:30 p.m. in the high school . gymnasium, the gym being selected select-ed to provide plenty of room for the general public as well as students. stu-dents. A complete program for the opening was not available at this early date, but an interesting part will be a talk on the 1918 exhibit by Richard Gurin, high school art instructor, who, with the aid of members of the art committee and students have practically completed com-pleted the hanging of the pictures for the current show. A preview of those already hung and others ready to . take their place in the gallery, gives credence to the belief that each year the exhibit exceeds that of the previous pre-vious year. One is impressed however how-ever with the seemingly increasing number of paintings representing the modernistic trend. A striking example of the modern school is a rather small canvass by the noted artist Georgia O'Keeffe, sent by the Down Town gallery of New York, and entitled "The White Feather." To the untrained eye, this contribution is nothing more than a grey-white feather in a vase with orange-red background, but the picture is valued conservatively at $1500. Keeffe's work, the first seen here, is known for its simplicity sim-plicity of design and clear coloring and is only exhibited in the larger shows of the country.
