the members of the congrega
tion await his coming.
Spillman sun parlor has re
cently been the site of an art
display sponsored by the Art
Department and featuring the
first semester effort of Alars Hill
art students.
A great deal of variety, both
in type and mediums, can be
found in this exhibit which is
comprised of paintings, draw
ings, and ceramics. The wide

art majors: Dian Bost, Fred
Crisp, Jo Ann Denton, Shirley
Dockery, Evelyn Floyd, Wilson

ers, Grove Robinson, Pat Bush,
Wayne Lewis, Sally Reagan,

The exhibit as a whole dis
played spontaneity and the joy
of creativeness.
