Both were about l the same size. He could observe in each a line of trees or hills or other objects which carried his eye to a far-distant point and then another line of representation which brought his view back again into the fore- ground. One picture was about three- fourths light and one-fourth shade and 'the other was about three-fourths shade and one-fourth light. Both seemed to be almost . perfect blends in coloring. This was about the limit of his ability to judge art. Finally, someone pointed to the fact that one picture might have been painted in a very short time but that with 'the other, the artist must have striven earnestly for some time 'to put real feelirigf into the handling of his trees, hills, and other objects.

NYe trust that Charleston Schools in general and that Charleston High School in pariticular has meant such in your lives. individually, that you will not only block out just ordinary paintings but will add to them the detail of the masterpiece in all that you undertake in life.

Sixteen Several centuries ago men embarked on uncharted voyages of discovery with only confidence as a guide. Today our students are embarking on equally un- charted voyages, those of life, but with one great advantage, an advanced high school education to guide and influence them.
