Palmetto Gets Presidency

BY EUNICE TALL Correspondent Palmetto High School was elected president of the newly formed Dade County Inter-School Student Safety Council at a meeting recently held at Palmetto. The school's official title however, will be president-secretary because the two offices must be in co-ordination. Student representatives from Dade County schools compose the council, organized recently to co-operate with Metro law enforcement agencies in reducing the teenage-accident rate in Dade County. In past years many senior high schools have conducted activities which have helped to improve traffic safety. Many of the following activities will be initiated this year through the council to various schools: conducting vehicle safety checks of student and faculty motor vehicles; conducting registration and inspection of student and faculty vehicles. Organizing safety committees; participating in state, county, and local safety conferences; and promoting safety through the writing of articles and panel discussions. ★ ★ ★ Members of the Palmetto Class of '63 will embark upon the third annual Palmetto magazine drive Feb. 1. Under the direction of Gretchen Schmidt, junior class president, Eunice Tall, magazine drive business manager, and Candy Smith, publicity chairman, juniors will sell subscriptions through Feb. 12.

Lowe Gallery to Open

Two unusual exhibitions — a collection of antique English silver pots and a group of paintings by Eilshemius — will open to the public Feb. 14, in the Joe and Emily Lowe Art Gallery, University of Miami. The Folger Company Collection of silver and the 28 paintings will be previewed by Lowe Gallery members during a special reception on the eve of the public opening. Also exhibited will be a group of icons from the collection of Dr. and Mrs. Carle Henry Davis. More than 80 silversmiths of the 18th Century and early 19th are represented in the collection assembled by Joseph S. Atha, chairman of the board of Folger. In addition to the historical cross-section tracing the development of the coffee pots, the collection includes such accessories as sugar bowls and cream jugs, salvers and a variety of related sideboard silver. The exhibition graphically traces the evolution of the English coffee vessel from its early beginning as a tapered round pot with flat base and a C-scroll handle, to the many elaborate shapes and sizes which were to become popular. Also to be exhibited are salvers — flat plates used for serving — which reflect the general style changes in English silverware, and a selection of early miniature coffee pots, usually used for display or as furnishings for doll houses. The other major exhibition opening at Lowe Gallery consists of representative works by the relatively unfamiliar American artist, Louis M. Eilshemius, from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. Roy R. Neuberger. Ridiculed during most of his life, the prolific artist gave up painting in 1921, only to have his works suddenly become popular in the 1930's after being recognized by Marcel Duchamp. Despite brisk sales of his unusual dream-like paintings for several years, he died penniless in New York in 1941. His importance is again recognized, as demonstrated by this exhibition organized by The American Federation of Arts for display in major galleries throughout the country. The Eilshemius exhibition closes Mar. 4, the Folger on Mar. 11. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.
