Holiday Greetings
To Feature Art
Of School Children
Next week's edition of the
Gazette-Times will be the
Christmas greeting Issue, and
this year it will feature art
work done by lleppner school
children under the instruction
of Miss Terry Llncecum, art
teacher.
The paper will use many
drawings by the school child
ren In merchant-sponsored
greetings. Art pupils from the
first grade through high
school have participated In
drawing their interpretations
of Christmas. Many business
firms Inserting greetings will
use the drawings of the child
ren to express their senti
ments of the season to the
public.
Names of the children will
be used in the displays to
gether with names of the
sponsoring merchants.
It Is felt that this will add
considerable reader Interest to
the Christmas greetings, and
at the same time gives the
opportunity for the public to
see some of the work the
children are doing.
Because of the large num
ber taking art In the schools,
not all of the pictures drawn
can be used.
Miss Llncecum will write
an article for next week's pa
per to explain the work being
done In the art classes.
Installation of the new Fair
child Cadet photo-engraving
machine at the Gazette-Times
makes It possible to use the
locally drawn pictures.
Businesses which have not
already been contacted for
greetings and who would like
to sponsor drawings of the
children are Invited to call
Spike Pardee of the Gazette
Times staff (676-9228), and he
will bring the selection to
them.
