DR. FREDERICK C. SEAMSTER BiAi 3M A; Ph.D; In our last years at Arts High, a new friend came to us. The tall, distinguished doctor, at the beginning of his career at Arts, has shown patience, wisdom and an interest in the opinions of the younger generations. This is his contribution toward building a bettez world for all. When we go far away from the school of our youth, we will know that Dr. Seamster is still our friend; that he is seeing that those who come after us are get- ting the same great store of knowledge that we are profiting by. And we will carry with us the slogan he gave to us. “If Arts High does it, it has to be good.” MISS M. BERNICE HAMILTON B.A., M.A. Teachers often find their job monotonous. When one teacher achieves a higher position it is because he finds constant interest in the guiding of young minds, in observing and learning from young people, and in taking pleasure in that unusual product of nature, the individual. Miss Hamilton is such a per- son. Always in our stay at Arts High School, we knew we could depend on this counselor to do what was best for us, and we have maintained a trust and a respect for her that she deserves to the fullest. We shall never forget Miss Bernice Hamilton, our guide and our friend. She oS, mpresarios

Music Soothing euphony Destroyer of the Blues—Creator of the Blues Voice of the heart—expression of the mute mind, W ordless oratory, To us you are food. Your effervescent wine brings to us joy You give us brotherhood of time and space— Linking the centuries Leaping over barriers of men Your language of vitrations Pierces our smallness Transcends our humble destinies. Your great wisdom is beyond thought— Your truth surpasses what we see to be truth— Your beauty and depth is infinite— You guide our spirits to know the right— Great teacher! We who study the arts hold you high. And we recognize your sister—poetry, And your brothers—dancing and the drama And your cousins—painting and sculpture. All the arts are connected by a time-cord made of human heart-strings. We dedicate our book to you and choose you for our theme! —Diana Rudman
