Group Attends Rite
At Ava Temple Wed.
Study of Art Continued
At Two Club Meetings
On the evening of April 5 a
group of members of Vernonia
Temple 61, Pythian Sisters, went
to St. Helens to visit Ava Temple
on the accasion of the offiical
visit of Grand Chief Margaret
Meyers to her home temple.
Visitors were also present from
Cataract Temple, Oregon City,
Rose and Ivanette Temples, Port
land and Phoenicia Temple of
Hillsboro.
The initiatory work was ex
emplified by Ava Temple after
which a clever program was pre
sented through the medium of
"television,” at the close of which
the Grand Chief was presented
with a contribution for her fund
to provide a television set for
the Pythian Home at Vancouver,
Washington.
At the close of the meeting
the guests were all invited into
the social hall for an Easter
party. On entering the hall, all
were requested to select and don
an Easter bonnet. Delightful re
freshments ware served from
beautifully appointed tea tables.
Those making the trip from
Vernonia were Grayce Bundy,
Mary Drips, June Willis, Ethel
Landers, Edna Heenan, Mary
Sawyer, Isabel Culbertson, Edith
McFarland, Marie Laschinger
and Lesta Garner.
MYs. 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.
