Silk screen art club screens club symbol on shirts
The Art Club, led by Mrs Mildred Elwell, continues silk screening projects to place the club symbol on t shirts and craft own designs. After about two more meetings the group will switch to other projects. Sophomore class rings arrived February 3, the earliest in years, delighting students and governor John OHolleran who cited a quicker, more valuable delivery than last year. A Rolling Stone review of Elton John s Blue Moves praises orchestration and Taupin lyrics but notes one overlong track Bite Your Lip. Joni Mitchell s Hejira is hailed for themes of constant travel through vivid road life scenes and travel imagery such as Refuge of the Roads Amelia and Black Crow.
