Art and Miisic express themselves in a kind of universal language. Worthy artists and composers have ability to show truth and understanding vividly through their work. How splendid it is in these days of studied attempt at world understanding, friendship, and peace, to dedicate this book to those things that appeal to the best in us and can be understood by all! Real artisf try inspires and points the way. The art of doing a thing so well that it arvouses interf est and excites admiration is a goal toward which we all strive.

The majority of young people follow the fashions, but all young people def sire to possess that which has value. 'Your education should have taught you, at least in a measure, to discriminate, to distinguish the permanent from the transitory, to eva.luate, to appreciate real worth. If it has done so, you will not be confused by the present fashion of exalting utility in education and helittling its cultural side. You will have true standards for judging values. How barren your lives would be without beauty or selffexpression! Education then must include both beauty and selffexpression in its plans or forfeit its claim of ministering to the fullness of life. Thus have the Fine Arts found their place in our curriculum and that place will become more firmly established each year as you stuf dents who have found happiness in such courses exemplify in the world outside the craftsmanship, good taste, and joy of living which can be found through any of the Fine Arts which you choose to follow. Best of all, you may follow them either as vocation or avocation, either as creative artist or appreciative spectator, so that your lives will be permanently richer thereby. ' Members of the two graduating classes of 1930, may you, and all the classes of Beverly Hills High School, as a result of your days spent here make of living itself a ine art.
