By Doris Cooper Mrs. Lena Albright has been on Salem’s faculty for five years, A teacher of ceramics, she began her studies in liberal arts at Agnes Scott College and has since studied at William and Mary, the Univer sity of North Carolina, and the Uni versity of Tennessee, During the war she was in government service overseas, and upon returning to the United States she became interested in crafts. Mrs. Albright received training at the University of Ten nessee and spent one summer at the Cherokee Reservation where she entered classes for crafts with actors in the play. Unto These Hills. She also spent a year at Saranac Lake, New York, with the Craft Guild and became an Occu pational Therapist Aid along with her study of art. Mrs. Albright moved to Winston- Salem eight years ago and was em ployed by the Community Center to teach Arts and Crafts. She mar ried Frank P. Albright, the director of museums at Old Salem, and has done extensive work with the rest- _ harles Moore Portrays Old Salem In Colorful Sketches; Area Offers 5ood Setting For Pictorial Studios Select Officials oration work. More specifically, she has produced almost to per fection missing tiles for the early clay stoves after a thorough study of the existing pieces. The stoves are a gay brown, green, and yellow. She has entered much of her work in ceramics in Dixie Classic Fairs and has won many ribbons. Mrs. Albright’s Studio Ceramics class consists of six girls ranging from freshmen to seniors. The girls are not required to be art majors. The course is an intro duction to the technical field of ceramics, and Mrs. Albright emp hasizes several of the many tech niques used in working with clay. The girls must learn exactly what clay is and what it can express. She describes the art of ceramics as being very personal, and the small class lends itself to infor mality and individual attention. Mrs. Albright is interested in a collection of ceramic works—mostly pottery—for Salem, and in the past five years she has bought several pieces from professional artists. During the Symposium a current exhibit of ceramics by Tom Suomal- ainen, who teaches painting, sculp ture, and ceramics at Arts and (Continued on page 4) Asked to comment on his at traction for Old Salem, Moore said that the “charming character of the buildings and the_ remarkable restoration work combine to create „ good setting. He has no favorite scene but feels that the whole area has a great future and is well 'orth putting on my record of water colors.” Moore sees many art interests here, and is “pleased to see a good art department here.” He has seen drawings of Salem’s art students, and says that the students here “lend me moral support.” He likes to talk to students and doesn’t mind having people peer over his shoulder. “I’m definitely of the Romantic school,” he said, and like to go places where there s wonderful na tural scenery.” He hopes to paint in other parts of North Carolina. Definitely an individualist, Moore sticks to his idea that “rain or shine, the artist must go on with what he believes to be right.” At present, his main wish is for a little sun, so that he can get outside. Moore hopes to have an exhibit here in the summer or early autumn. MUOIC 6CC3 liicillj Cix V. .. \pparent Chapel Chaos Provokes Thought On Symposium Talks ^ Tk T Txrflfpro The “happening” in assembly on 'uesday started the symposium dis- u.ssion groups thinking in terms of oinmunication in a very dramatic ■ay. Out of this apparent chaos, message did come through; some- hing did get across to the audience, "pome questions asked about the happening were: Is absurdity a re- Jiolt against a system? Do we tend to read things into an absurd happening? Most of the discussion groups discussed the use of art in com munication. Some questions asked of modern art were: Is an explana tion for art necessary ? Is it art if it has to be taught and ex plained? What is the guiding line of the artist? “Pop” art was said to be a contradiction of the defi nition of art. The theater of the absurd was discussed, particularly Ionesco’s “The Chairs.” It was decided that writers of the theater of the absurd were striving for the same things as the new artists. Some of these dramatists are pointing out the ab surdity of living under the laws of the past. The whole concept of communi cation was questioned. One group decided communication needs a per sonal element, but needs something more than personal reaction. There must be some meaning. The artist and dramatist now use the absiiul to attract attention. They -want to make people think, to decide what is important and what is irrelative. Many artists and writers take a negative view by saying that there is no meaning to life. Conclusions will be drawn in fur ther discussion groups. Ten Salem representatives at tended the SNEA state convention held in Raleigh, March 20-21. On Friday night the student teachers were joined by the state NEA, the adult teachers’ association, for a joint meeting. As Salem’s winner of the Student Teacher award, Elaine Tayloe was presented to the convention with other college win ners. One of the primary purposes of the meeting was the election of state officers. Campaign speeches were given at Friday’s luncheon; Salem student, Ellen Heflin was one of the four presidential candidates. Although Salem did not come back with the state presidency, she did gain attention as a small yet active and interested school. **ju8t about the moat wonderful new convenience for intimate feminine care** 3- \idette.
