McDonald Drawings
Displayed In Lounge
Browsing in the faculty lounge
offers more now than the usual ar
ray of chairs, tables and lamps.
Henry McDonald, part-time in
structor of engineeriTOg drawing at
the college and also a local archi
tect, has put on display a presenta
tion of several of his plans and
drawings of various buildings.
Some of the plans have already be
come a reality, such as the Metho
dist church, the local high school,
the Rosman Methodist church and
the Horse Sho.e Methodist church.
Included in the display are Hen
derson School, Hotel Asheville,
(now in the remodelin'g stage),
Brevard High School, Brevard’s
Methodist Church, “a Country
Club,” and a Pensacola office
tailding, complete with plans for
the President’s penthouse.
Upon carefully studying the dis
played plans, one can clearly see
the difference in art and archit^-
ture. Mr. McDonald sees this dif
ference vividly, and is quick to
point out that art and architecture
are not in the same field. Dream
ing enters into architecture in a
very minute way, for there is far
tiio much technical data to allow it.

of art and music will present a
program representing elemenits of
music and art from the classic, ro

by Louise P. Miller, pianist, and
Ralph Reed, ibaritone, memibers of
the music faculty; and paintings
will be shown by Kenneth DuIBois,
of the art department.
