ILLINOIS, APRIL 6, 1928 D ' The 8A division of Howard visited the Art Institute on March 22. When we arrived we were taken into· a room hung with paintings of the RenalBBance period. After we had looked carefully at a few of them we were taken Into a room with pictures of a later period In lt. We went into many rooms and saw many beautiful paintings. One croup that particularly interested us waa by the French painter, Monet. Arnone these pictures were two paintInca of haystacks. Tho they may seem a queer subJect to paint, the pictures were beautiful. Kiss Upton, the children's lecturer, told us a very Interesting story connected with the painting of these pictures. There are twelve other quite similar paintings by the same artist, which hang In Parts. Later Miss Upton took us to a room of modem art. These paintings were entirely different from any othen 11188 Upton had showed us. As we did not take time to look at all the paintings In that room, we were told about two of them, namely "The Park" and ..The Guitar Player."

His father noticed that Tommy bad become very srouchy and asked him what was the matter. Tommy told him his troubles and his father laughed at him but his mother took pity on him and promised him a surprise which made him feel much better. Then came Easter the nicest day they had had In a long time. Tommy asked his mother what was the surprise. She told him that they were colng to their grandmother's where she was having some of Tommy's friends and they were all going to have a big bunt In the barn. Tommy was In such a big hurry that he asked his grandmother If he could start right away but she told him that he had to wait for the rest of his friends. Finally they all arrived and soon the big. bunt began, all of them running around like wildcats. As soon as one of them found an egg, they all let .out a big shout, especially the one who had found the egg, Tommy found a great big red egg which he ate so fast no one even saw it. They soon found all tbe eggs. Some of the boys went Into the house where their parents were and found that other boys were still looking for eggs and had gone way up In the hay loft. The egg hunt ended and everybody had an especially good time. -John Davidson, 8A, Stolp orchestra ..The Spires of Oxford" · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ... . ................. Winifred M. Letts . .
