Art Students Start
Abstract Painting
The art students are beginning
something which is new to most of
them, and this is an abstract paint-
ing. Since the word abstract means
“to take from,” the artist, in order
to do an abstract painting, “takes
from" the scene only what he
wishes to use in his painting.
Keeping the qualities of good de-
sign in mind, such as balance and
interest in shapes and lines and
colors, the student re-arranges and
adds to what he sees in the scenes
in this type of work. Two outstand-
ing painters of our times whose
abstract paintings students will ob
serve are Braque and Picasso.
Highschool Sports
Seen From the Players Bench
By Jack Warner
MfEATlIER still continues to
' ’ hinder the progress of spring
sports at EHS, causing Friday’s
baseball doubleheader with Dun-
can to be postponed.
Wednesday the Tribe lost a 10-0
battle to Northeast, Jerry Tillery
saving the Indians from com-
plete embarrassment by scratch-
ing a single off reliefer George
Swearinger in the fifth and final
frame. If a team is ahead by 10
or more runs at the end of five
innings, the game is called. Vik-
ing Harold Copas hurled the first
four stanzas, allowing only two
baserunners, both of them walks.
Copas was throwing into the teeth
of a strong wind, but his fast
ball was still a bit smaller than
the proverbial aspirin tablet.
Wednesday the Tribe will enter-
tain the Wolverines of Lawton at
Adams park. It will be another
twinbill, and if the Tribe can but
split with the rainpaging Wolver-
ines, they will have taken a
mighty step toward the title. Law-
ton is plenty rough this year, hav-
ing handled some pretty good
teams. They topped Cameron Col-
lege, 12-4. With a pair of hurlers
that seldom lose, Donnie McFar-
land and Carl Tahkopfer, they
will be one of the toughest the
Tribe will face this year. How
about getting out and supporting
the Tribe?

The Squaw pep club met Tues-
day, March 29, in Miss Shanklin’s
room to discuss the booth for the
annual band carnival in which it
will serve the usual home-made
ice cream and cake.
Everyone was reminded to wear
uniforms to the official dedication
ceremonies of the field house.
Senior play cast members are
busily working in order to have the
senior play, “Mrs. McThing,”
ready for presentation May 3.
While the members of the play
cast are learning lines, the stage
crew committee under the super
vision of Mr. Charles Overton will
begin working on the two sets for
the play.
Two parts which had not been
cast last week have been given to
Charla Costin who will play Mrs.
Schcllenback and John Stewart
who will portray the second police-
man.
Mrs. Marjorie Phillips, director
of the play, reports that there will
be approximately 14 rehearsals be-
fore the play will be presented.
These rehearsals will be held on
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursday, and
some Fridays.
The gay aqua pleated skirt
that Nancy Clovis wears is quite
a beau-catcher. With her skirt
she wears a pink “little-boy’’
shirt and saddle oxfords.
A cool cotton gingham skirt
of pink and white truly brings a
breath of spring when Gayle
Bishop enters the room. She
wears a crisp white blouse with
pink flowers at the throat and
her black flats make a definite
contrast.
