auctioneer for the second year.
There were 112 pictures sold.
Twenty-three students, Dr. and
Mrs. Yaghjian, and Mrs. Augusta
Wittkowsky had their work in the
auction. The overall sum that was
returned to the student painters
for the cost of their picture equip
ment was $475, which will be
used to buy paints, canvasses,
brushes, and other art equipment.
The cost of the pictures aver
aged about $9.00 a piece. Frank
Hart, winner of the art painting
award, was the artist of the high
est selling picture which brought
$68.
The art auction was termed
such a success that it was re
quested that a smaller auction be
held before Christmas Holidays in
order that they might be used as
Christmas gifts. The watercolors
were very popular and also the
paintings of the low country.
Each year the auction is held
to offer funds for an art scholar
ship which is given to a high
school senior who shows interest
in the field of art and who plans
to attend the University.
Last year's recipient was Ann
Martin from Greenville, South
Carolina. Part of the money taken
in is used for art equipment which
is given to some deserving art stu
dent of the University.
