Even the rhinestones on her gown seem to sparkle in the. soft light. *'“The' Study in.

She seems to be listening to far ‘away music, and Borriello’s handling- of the colors, or more ezactly, the lack of color, is ex- eeptional. In direct contrast to Mrs. Otto's portrait,’ is ‘one of Borriello’s new- s, that of Mrs. Louise Lee runette ‘ coloring on his vas, in glowing tones.’ One of he feminine guests was heard say- ing that “her hair looks just as if could brush it.” ° t show: .was. of unusual inte! est.to the its, because most of “gubjects”’ were present and more’ ian willing to answer ques- tions” about their portraits, where ~-Were-painted, or, are those grandmother's earrings, or, idn't you: wear'that gown to— One rentark that was repeatedly nede,: particularly by other art- i that Borriello’s portraits en were extremely well done. thost of these studies, the sub- wis wearing glasses, and Bor- 8 was evident in that ‘ es behind the glasses seem- te focus « on the viewer. “A guest said, “‘It’s uncanny, the those eyes follow you around. e' ere to see these por- and I keep having the feel- at they’re watching me!” ‘It was, too..

Presiding was}, ;| Mrs. Merville Rosam, PTA. presi- dent. “ _A highly interesting panel discus- sion was given by three members of the high school faculty: Miss Eunice Reynolds, presiding with Miss Mary Ann LoCastro and Mr. Benjamin Sweeting completing the group. Their topic, in keeping with the year’s program: “Maturity,” was, “The Danger Signals by which We Can Recognize Juvenile Delinquency.”” According to the pa- nel, these steps towards —delin- quency are: truancy, low. grades, lying, stealing and inability to pro- perly utilize leisure time. Upon completion of the group’s part in the discussion, Miss. Rey- nolds invited questions and. com- ments from the attending mem- bers. In contrast with the usual panel discussions, there were ma- ny questions and additions from the floor, all well thought out and showing the intelligence. and inter- est of. the audience. Several of the points brought out by the panel were challenged, but were ably defended by the panel particularly by Mr. Sweeting who had brought along several publi- cations on delinquency to back up his arguments. All in all, it was a most thought-provoking and educa- tional discussion, and: it is hoped that next month’s meeting will see a larger turn-out to take advantage of fine and stimulating ‘group think- ing and discussion. i Upon adjournment, the assemb- lage recessed to the high school cafeteria where the usua]-delicious refreshments were served.
