Flt You are now a freshman at Arts Hig}i. This is a big time in your life and it’s up to you to make a success of it. If you are to do this, you must make up your mind to dispel the myths that have been running through your head. Myths like “High school is slavery,...leathers are beasts, and “Only a mental giant passes Geometry III are just propaganda. In ancient Greece mvtlis were a part of the daily life. But you must remcm-ber that the Greeks used the myths of gods, and heroes as an incentive to better themselves and beautify their lives. Cherished in our museums to-day are myths depicted on vases, captured in beautiful pieces of sculpture, or painted on canvas. Believing that the gods were physically and mentally perfect, the people tried to make themselves as perfect. The result was an age that produced some of the most beautiful art, literature, music, and language, the influence of which is still felt in our culture. You, therefore, must try to do as the Greeks did. Build and develop your minds, standards, reasoning, and knowledge so that you may lx- a credit to your school and community.
