When Arts High School was organized in September 1931, John F. Logan, then Superintendent of Schools, sought the most successful and talented art teacher in Newark to assume the responsibility of planning and organizing the art course. Since this was a new venture—Arts High School being the first of its kind in the East—it required a teacher of exceptional ability. His choice, a fortunate one, was Miss Isabel Stewart, who was then teaching in South Side High School. Born in Stirling, Scotland, and educated in the Glasgow School of Art, Miss Stewart showed her great initiative, self-reliance, and courage in leaving family and friends to seek her fortune in a new world. Shortly after her arrival, she secured a supervisory position in Pennsylvania from which she resigned in order to teach in South Side High School. Here, her achievements were outstanding. Arts High School immediately felt the impact of her dynamic personality. Within a few years the art department expanded from one to eight members. Both students and teachers responded to her inspired leadership. Prizes and awards in all competitive fields of art were won by her students; scholarships were consistently awarded to them. Because of her own proficiency in painting, sculpture, poster and scenic design, she was able to meet and to develop the special interests and talents of all students who came under her guidance. Many of them since have become highly successful in these fields. All attribute much of their success to the high standards of achievement set by Miss Stewart. Her recent promotion to the position of Supervisor of Art in the Senior and Junior High Schools of Newark is a well-deserved tribute to a very great teacher.
