Art Exhibition
Displayed at Clark
The Clark College Art De
partment has on display in the
foyer of the Administration
building paintings by T. Maurice
Pennington. Mr. Pennington is
a native of Louisville, Kentucky;
however, he has become known
in the Atlanta area for his ac
tivity in local as well as re
gional art groups.
Mr. Pennington has exhibited
in the Atlanta Arts Festival, The
Atlanta University National Ex
hibition of Negro Artists, The
Tuskegee Beaux Arts Festival,
The Mozley Park Arts Festival,
and he is represented in a num
ber of private collections.
The paintings on display at
Clark indicate the range and
sensitivity of the artist. His
paintings extend from realistic
still life and non-objective paint
ings in oil to very expressionistic
paintings in polymer. In a word,
Mr. Pennington's paintings are
quite diverse in method and
subject matter, yet they exhibit
a “presence" that is uniquely his
own.
The exhibition is open daily
to the public, and it will run
until October 15.
Dr. Stella B. Brookes
Dr. Brookes Addresses
Freshmen Class
“The Future Belongs to Those
Who Prepare for It” Dr.
Brookes told students entering
Clark College. Certain phrases
from literature and life which
she said were worth remember
ing were:
“There are no gains without
Pains"
“Compare yourself today with
yourself yesterday”
“Develop inner resources to
help you withstand the shocks
of Fate”
“Count only that happiness
which gives you pleasure at the
moment and pleasure in the
memory afterwards”
She urged students to con
sider carefully the major and
minor fields of concentration
and pointed out that often suc
cess depends upon the proper
choice of one’s vocation—being
“in the right place.”
Setting goals toward which to
strive, she thought important;
however, she said these should
be “attainable goals". She
pointed out the folly of setting
goals in areas in which persons
had no talent, a capability for
development and enrichment.
Once the field of concentra
tion is chosen, she said: “Desire
is not enough.” One must work
—work hard. She quoted an
author who wrote: “Success is
spelled with four letters,
WORK, and Failure is spelled
with five, SHIR K.”
“In times of immeasurable
and cataclysmic changes, there
is a great need for development
of inner resources to help us
withstand the pace and shocks
of contemporary life,” she con
cluded.

women who feel they would like
