Wesley Bolmeier was hostess for the March 30 meet ing of the Vernonia Study club. The study of the book. "Art Through the Ages,” by Helen Gardner, was continued with Mrs. Paul Gordon giving the section on the Renaissance period. This 500-year period of the Renaissance movement meant essentially a new attitude toward life, which led to a de velopment of the individual, a greater freedom of thought, and the study of humanistic classical literature, philosophy and art was one of the intense passions of the day. On Thursday evening, April 6, Frances Mullins was hostess to the group. Mrs. Bill Nichols completed the study of Helen Gardner’s book “With Nine teenth Century Art.” The expansion of the European nations in the Renaissance era into various parts of the world and the consequent drawing of hitherto isolated areas more closely together, was a prelude to a world oneness brought about by the domineering force of today—science. The artist passed through these phases of the romantic move ment, individual reactions lay ing the basis of the expression ism of today. The Intense search for beauty out of doors and finally the reflection of the scientific attitude in realist move ments, all resulted in confusion, with old ways and old forms in conflict with new ways and new forms. 41 Family Members Gather for Easter The usual Easter Day get-to gether was enjoyed by 41 mem bers of the family at the Antone Smejkal home.
