Southport Youngsters— Praises Work Of Youthful Artists By EUGENE FALUON Carefully-tabulated statistics prove that the United States is becoming culture-conscious with a vengeance. More Americans write verse; more dabble iit brush and oils; more mold clays and mar bles than ever before in our his tory. About the only art in which we seem to be slipping, is music composition. Swing and bop and jazz have made us nervous, de pressed and haggard. Johnny No talent swings his hips, grimaces and groans, * while music flees wildly. The mermaids are replaced with the Mermans. Lorelei is now gravel-voiced Brenda Lee, and the siren sings on the Rhine, to; no avail. To prove that Southport is forg ing ahead in a quest for culture, the Southport Art Association, in company of Southport High School, recently instituted an art contest open to students of this area only, and of high school age. The winning exhibits to come out of that city-wide contest hang in the admirable Southport Pub lic Library in such illustrious company as William Shakespeare, Thackery, Thoreau, Whitman and Kenneth Greene. Follows a brief commentary on that work: A special award was given John Martin Lewis and Jon Arthur Newton for a two-section mural worthy of a young Michelangelo. In this canvas, which bears no title, the entire Southport water front comes alive, and one can actually see the fishing craft rise on the harbor sweels, while the gulls hover hungrily overhead. The tl. S. Coast Guard boat more alive and personal than the red marker bnoys, with its cutter engines idling, purrs as patern ally as any fond parent ever a beloved child. In the color graphics division, Bandy Donnel, 10-year-old daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. Donnell, took second-prize with poose (two) in a forest. Sandy’s ferns are fine, but her trees (or maybe her moose) are a bit out bf perspective, with the great animals somewhat dwarfing the (great) trees. The Christmas story centers the third-prize offering, called “Beth lehem”, drawn by Landis Brown. The minarets and turreted mos jues, the palm trees and the subdued houses of the faithful, lie here revealed cold and sterile |nder that stronge' starburst jvhich heralded the Birth of the fahild. Ruth Hohrein’s “Wonderful Place” exerts a powerful pull with ts pure simplicities. Her ocean s always an ocean; the lone boat n the harbor struggles valiantly, the single tree in the drawing not inly shades a real and substantial lome, but reflects an unconseious y European influence in its ilanes. The tree might well be the rery first Cedar of Lebanon. Ruth s 16, and lives in Southport with SHOF AT ARRINGTON'S Southport, N. C. a grandmother. Perhaps the most magnetic of fering in black and white graphics is Clare Margaret Glore's first prize winning exhibit called “Holy Madonna”. The young artist (Clare is a fourth-grade elemen tary student here) shows an amazing depth in this creation. The motif is a sombre one with dark gray predominating. It is as if the picture shouts: ‘This is the Madonna after the Sorrows, and when her Son had been mur dered.’ The robe of true melan cholia, the Mother stands on a rock pile, looking away. The fig ure is tranlucent, and gives the impression of shuddering or trem bling. This critic prophesizes a great artistic career for young Miss Glore. Patti Key, 11-year-old daughter of Mrs. Fiances Key, flaunts an extremely fine touch—almost of delicacy—in het first-prize-win ning watercolor* The work is un titled, and might be called ‘Sylvan Fields’ or ‘Splendid Summer’. Patti’s grasses are lush under the trees; daffodils intrude along the inner borders of the painting. A partial rail fence looms in the foreground, and the sky is prop erly azure. An off-color white for background adds a touch of my stery, almost of sadness. And it is as if, lurking behind the summer, j one senses the little, white death of Winter.

Here we are again ready to give you the latest news from Southport High School. This past week was a busy one for the Dolphins. We had two basketball double-headers on Fri day and Saturday night. Both teams came out on top! We have a game here this Friday night with Nakina. Mrs. Davis had a little girl Sun day night and Mr. Davis is cer tainly walking on air these past two days. The school newspaper came out for the second time this year on Wednesday, November 22. It was better than the first one. The news Staff works very hard for it to be a number one school news paper and they do a good job of it. The paper hasn’t been named as yet. There are now three names to choose from. They are: Dolphineer, The Choosy Newsy and the Doffy. The glee club is working hard this month. They will have their first public concert on December 17. 3:00-3:30 p. m. Edgar Holden’s House, 3:45 4:15 p. m. Our roving reporter’s question this week was: “How strict do you think law enforcement of traffic laws should be?” Lydia Long—“They should be as strict as possible, and be sure that they carry out the laws.” William Spencer—“Very strict. Because if they are not enforced they aren't any good.” Robert Potter—“X think they’re strict enough now.” Mrs. Barnes—“If the laws are worth having, they should be worth enforcing.” The seniors have been working hard on their annual, the 1962 Dolphin. We are impatient as they are to see the product of their handiwork. We hear that the 1962 Dolphin is to be the "biggest and best ever.” Speaking of im patience, the juniors are very anxious to receive their class rings. Seen Around . . . Judy receiv ing letters . . .
