The Fine Arts Edition is the third K lahiaui illustrated by George Randall. We are deeply indebted to hiin for this work. He has de- ifoted niuch tinie, and his work has added ininieasurably to the appear- ance and quality of the last three editions. As a sophoniore, Randall -illus- trated the Pioneer book, edited by Corleen Crain, which was thought to be one of the best Klahianis be- cause it had such wide appeal. His next success was the Circus edition the following year, which was so unusual in theine and treatinent that it was also very popular. The art work was rated highly by the National Scholastic Press Associa- tion. The editor of the Circus edition, Richard Hubbell, says, Hlt was a pleasure to work with George, and his work and cooperation were of the finest. The poenis which appear in this book were written by George Ran- dall, who, although he has written poetry for sonie tiine, is breaking into print for the first tiine. The poeins were not chosen especially for the sections in which they ap-- pear, but because poetry is a fine art, and as such, has a rightful place in this, the Fine Arts Edition of the Klahiani.

orewqrgt lVhat is art But life upon the larger scale, the higher Wlhen graduating in a spiral line Of still expanding and a-seenfling .qllfesr It pushes toward the intense sig- nificance Of all things hungry for the infinite? Art's lifeg and when we line, we suffer and toil. -ELIZABIQJTH BARRETT B1it7WY'NING How great is the difference be- tureen the aboife conception of life and that of Webster who identifies life as the time between birth and death. Between this breathing and that life uisioned by Elizabeth Barrett Brownting are many grada- tions and upon one-or another of these all stand. Each youth is an artist. Each is striving to reach the highest, to create the niost beautiful results of the days given hiin. 'W'hat kind of artists will we be? The inaterials ufith which we shall work we are now niolding. The inolds are setting and the colors are blending. This school contributes to this niolding process. We carry it with us always, leaving behind the blaekboards, desks, and walls. When we return in ten years we shall find these, and yet say, This is not the saine school. The school I knew is no longer here. The school you knew you carry with you, and it is different frorn that of any other person. A rt is life, and life is an art. Thus the tlzeme for the Klahiam--Fine Arts-The Beauty of Life.
