Where is it? What is it?

Evanston RoundTable Mystery Photo contestants, please click here: getaway@getaway-chicago.com.

The picture in the February 17 issue of the Evanston RoundTable is one of four Bedford limestone sculptures carved by Mary Anderson Clark for Haven Middle School at 2417 Prairie Avenue in Evanston. Representing students of an appropriate age (as the Getaway Guys understand, a fifth sculpture was rejected as age inappropriate). The iconography of each work is a bit mysterious. One is accompanied by dog, another a squirrel and the boy In the Where Is It - What Is It picture appears to have a goose slung over his shoulder. Were they pets or are these creatures representative of something else?

The sculptures were executed for Haven Junior High School under the auspices of the Federal Arts Project (WPA) and are a testament to what can be accomplished in hard times by a strong Federal Government.

The winners are Jennifer Jacque and Matthew Swartwout, both of Evanston. Both hit the nail on the head at about the same time with very good answers.
