My Friend, Joe Holmes,
is now a horse
TOE always said when he died he'd like to
become a horse. One day Joe died.
Early this February I saw a horse that looked
like Joe drawing a milk wagon. I sneaked up to
him and whispered, "Is it you, Joe?"
He said, "Yes, and am I happy!" I said,
"Why?" He said, "I am now wearing a comfort
able collar for the first time in my life. My shirt
collars always used to shrink and irk me. In fact,
one choked the to death. That is why I died!"
"Why didn't you tell me about your shirts
sooner?" I exclaimed. "I would have told you
about Arrow shirts. They never shrink out of
fit! Not even the oxfords."
"Swell," said Joe. "My boss needs a shirt like
that. I'll tell him about the button-down Gordon
oxford. Maybe he'll give me an extra quart of
oats. And, gosh, do I love oats I"

Ann Poor Aspires
To Paint What She
Wants In Future
Helps Father, Sketches
Own Mural For PWA
Project Next Year -
By R. HELEN GORDON
'My ambition is to paint what I
want," declared Ann Poor, daugh
ter of Henry Varnum Poor, in an
interview Wednesday "It takes a
while before artists can do this,
but those who can are the best.
Most artists today must do other
full-time work to make a living,
and that allows little freedom to
do what they want"
Ann is helping her father with
the mural in Old Main' which de
picts the growth of the College,
but in her spare time sketches her
own mural which will be used in
a post office near Buffalo, N Y.
"I was pretty thrilled when
asked to do murals for the govern
ment," she admitted, "I won a
competition sponsored by PWA
You see, they selected someone
whose work they thought had
merit Anyone can enter the con
tests, and everyone struggles until
he wins—it was my third competi
tion
"The mural will be 12 feet wide,"
Ann pointed out. "On one panel
I have a dawn scene showing a
mother and child—the child has
just received a letter, and the hus
band is on his way to work On
the other panel men in a foundry
are discussing a letter.
"There'll be many colors and
some grays to fit in with the inter
ior of the postoffice I hope they
like it"
In painting water colors an ar
tist paints flowers or fruit because
they are beautiful or because he
likes them, but in murals he must
also consider the wall and the ob
ject, she explained
"The nice thing about murals,"
Ann said, "is that they last as long
as the wall—they become a part
of the building That's why there
is so much fresco work done to
day
"There are three steps, though,
before an artist actually, works on
Murals First, he draws the sketch
according to his own scale, and if
it's approved, he draws his car
toons If they're approved he be
gins work on the mural itself "
Ann became interested in art
about 12 years ago but she was
too busy practicing the piano from
six to eight hours every day to
consider it as a career Her father
didn't teach her, butcher interest
and skill grew, and she chose art
over music or politics
"I went to Bennington for three
years and there one of the instruc
tors helped me with my work be
fore I entered the last competi
tion "
