MRS. AUGUSTA REMBERT
GIVES ART EXHIBIT
Head of Saint Mary’s Art De
partment Shows Oil Paintings
At State Art Society Gallery
Airs. Augusta Rembert, head of
Saint Alary’s Art Department, has
opened a “one-man” show of seven
teen of her oil paintings in the State
Art Society Gallery to last, from
Alay 3 to Alay 25. Airs. Rembert
gave a short, interesting, and infor
mal gallery talk on Thursday after
noon, Alay 3, to open the exhibit.
Although Airs. Rembert has exhibit
ed i)aintings in New York, Philadel
phia, and Columbia, S. C. (her
home), this is her first “one-man”
show.
Airs. Rembert claims that she is
not a portrait painter and tries only
to achieve a jileasant composition
and not an exact likeness. In spite
of this, two of the most popular
paintings in the group are portraits.
One is of especial interest to Saint
Alary’s, since the subject for “Alar-
shall” is Alarshall Bryan, a sopho
more. This is a thinly painted, very
effective portrait with the concentra
tion of interest centered around the
eyes. The other portrait, “Yvonne,”
is of Airs. Eembert’s niece, a cor
poral in the Alarine Corps now sta
tioned at New River.
Airs. Rembert is exhibiting several
landscai)es representing various sec
tions of the Eastern States. The
“Clay Road Near Brevard” is one
of the most striking. Others were:
“Hilda’s House,” a vivid scene in
Brooklyn; “Yates’ Alill”; “Sunday
Painter”; and “View of Jones
Street.” “New Faith, N. One, of
the Willing Baptists” is a complete
out-door scene of a negro baptism.
“Javanese” is a colorful Gaugin-
inspired nude.
The remainder of the show is still
lifes. Two of these, among Airs.

Degas Inspires Junior-Senior
The painted audience seemed even
more pleased at the human dancers
than those surrounding three of the
walls of the green, pink, and white
decorated gymnasium on Saturday
night, Alay 5. The decorating com
mittee completely transformed the
gym, at one end, into the stage of a
ballet whereupon pink costumed fig
ures, in Degas poses, entertained the
pseudo-audience at the other end
behind the orchestra. On both sides
were the backstage antics of clowns
and dancers. Hanging above, and
completing the color scheme, were
many, many streamers of bright col
ors. The pastel murals were done
by Jane Campbell, Sue Thomas,
Dolly Eedwine, Kate Ranke, and
Kate Johnson, and Spot'Baskerville,
committee chairman.
The music for both sets of dancers
was by Shiffer Fullenwider and his
band, which gave forth the perfect
tunes to suit all.
Opening night began at eight-
thirty and the couples poured in.
There were civilians and servicemen,
both from all parts of the globe, in
cluding Canada, Puerto Rico, and
the Netherlands. (Obviously there
were world-knomi dancers at the
S.AI.S. performance.) During inter
mission everyone cooled off with
lime sherbet and ginger ale.
The premiere closed at twelve
with everyone happy and dreamy,
even though the audience was still
eager for many more encores.
President Gives Official Notice
Tuesday Morning to Nation
Harry S. Truman, president of
the United States, made a formal
announcement to America of the un
conditional surrender of German
forces to the Allied Expeditionary
Forces and the Soviet High Com
mand. This announcement was made
simultaneously with one from Lon
don by Winston Churchill, Prime
Alinistcr of England, at 9 a.m. E.
W. T., Tuesday, Alay 8.
President Truman preceded his
formal announcement with personal
comments saying that “this is the
Germany that thought we were soft
and weak.” The President also ex
pressed^ his sincere regrets that
I ranklin Roosevelt had not lived to
see the fruits of some of his work.
Air. Truman said that “the job is
only half done” and issued an ulti
matum to Japan to the effect that
it could now expect the “full impact
of the greatest land, sea, and air
force in history. The East is still
in bondage, I count on every Ameri
can to stick to his post until the last
battle is won.”
Mr. Churchill announced to the
British people the European victory.
He announced that the complete sur
render of the government and armed
forces of Nazi Germany had taken
place at General Dwight D. Eisen
hower’s headquarters in a little red
schoolhouse at Rlieims, France, at
2:41 a.m., Alay 7. Air. Churchill
stated that “the German War is now
at an end.”
Practically all Allied leaders, ex
cept those of Soviet Russia, made
statements on the victory Tuesday.
Edward _R. Stettinius, secretary of
state, said ‘This is a day of remem
brance and dedication.” He also
stated that the fighting men of the
Allies had given us more chance to
build a world order of law and peace
and “this time they shall not have
died in vain.”
Crowds in London and Paris were
jubilant and hilariously happy. The
event was celebrated in New York,
but everyone seemed to realize the
solemnity of the war that still lies
ahead. Relief is felt in the Pacific
area, but the men know that their
job is yet to be completed and that
trying times are still in store before
the global war is brought to its final
conclusion. Admiral Chester Nimitz
sent his congratulations to General
Eisenhower and said that Japan
would now receive undivided atten
tion. The men on Guam celebrated
by receiving their daily ration of
