Vol. II No. 5
Cover: Another “first” is established on the cover of this issue of The Star, which is a reproduction of a water-color by John T. Gorsuch, of the Art and Development Group. His work has frequently appeared in this magazine in the form of pen-and-ink sketches and numerous lay-outs, but this is his first color assignment, though by no means his last. A native of Baltimore and a graduate of the Polytechnic Institute. All day long he is making paintings, draftsmen’s drawings, perspectives and the other art work required, then goes home for relaxation; he…yes, you guessed it…paints. Other interests include a charming wife and one child. ……. Articles Inside: … His Is No Alger Story ( Morgan R. Schermerhorn ) ….. Our Part …..
