Editorial N EMINANT philosopher once said, A , i man gets out of life just what he puts into it. q The word life might be substituted for any one of ia number of terms which would more closely define its meaning. One receives as much from school, from business, from friends, and from pleasures, as he puts into them. A valuable element in the character of every- one is the ability to assume' responsibility with a determination to do his best. The student or the business man, who starts out shirking re- sponsibility, is not only weakening his own morale by admitting to himself that he can't do it, but is missing the thrill one gets from having undertaken something and succeeding. In this century of progress, where sciences are developing so fast and material things are be- coming so important, one may easily lose sight of the value of discrimination in the choice of small things. Being familiar with good books, having worthwhile friends, spending spare time constructively, are little things by which we Page Four may benefit and which help to make a strong foundation for a good character. Fortunately, conditions are such in this country that the average boy or girl can acquire a liberal education in school. Here he is per- mitted to think as he likes, read what he likes and accept or reject the opinions of others. This is a privilege which, when properly used, will train his mind to think more clearly and will give him experience in making decisions for himself which will become increasingly necessary as he grows older. He is not told that a thing is right or wrong but is shown its advantages and disadvantages and left at that point to draw his own conclusions. There is a great deal more to be had from high school than most students obtain. Various or- ganizations present an opportunity for the aver- age person to demonstrate his skill in sports, art, music, dramatics, etc. Everyone is urged to try his skill and by doing so will find his interest in school strengthened and will be getting more out of it than he would have if he had put nothing into it.

HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENTS ART Joyce Allen Frederick Schamu l. ART HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE YEAR '38-'39 ET US glance over some of the highlights for 1 the year. First we served our school and community by making over five hundred posters, etc. - covering athletic events, school plays, Garden Club posters, cafeteria signs, menu cards for the Onondaga Hotel, food sale posters, book week signs, silence cards for the day of Prayer, seating charts for the school, assembly properties, table decorations, Glee Club posters and many others. Next we have tried to keep on our boards ex- hibits that are both instructive and pleasant to look at. Sometimes it has been our own work- Sometimes the work of those who have gone on to art school. Eleanor Short, an alumnus, graduating this year from the illustration course in Syracuse University has come back to us quite frequently and by request brought us some excellent plates of her pencil technique. Paul Tucker a former LHS student, a graduate of Syracuse also-loaned us a collection of his water colors and oils that was most excellent-and we did appreciate having them. We had a part of the National Scholastic exhibit for a week. There were 28 pieces of Work picked from a group of 3,000 and represented the work of high school students from several states-California, Texas, Minnesota, etc. Aside from our regular class exhibits in the art room, we sent at the request of Mr. Calhoun of the American Crayon Company, an exhibit of pastello work, which was placed in their studio in Rockefeller Plaza, Radio City, for the Eastern Arts Convention in April. The work was done by Jeanne Stier and Alice Wright, and is still on display there. On May 12th the Art Clubs sponsored an exhibit of work from all the High School classes. The Music and Home Ec department joined in, and we had a pleasant and profitable exhibit. On june 3rd we were Page Six invited to exhibit in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts along with the Syracuse High Schools and some others in the county. VVe sent ten large pastellos, nine of crayon and paint, and about twenty of pencil technique. The students exhibiting were Norman Horton, Alta Evans, Marian Smith, Harriett Dawley, Eugene VVoern- er, Alice Wright, and Jeanne Stier. We have experimented with many new medi- ums-pastello, crayon and ink washes, and added water color to a greater extent than before. Mrs. Kimmey, our state supervisor of art spent an entire day with us in March. We en- joyed her visit and her comments were most helpful and encouraging. Norma Dietz MacKay came and gave a demonstration of silk screen painting one after- noon. We hope to do some of this work next year. The county photographer, Mr. Cate, has been most kind to us this year. He loaned us photo- graphs of the Parkway to work from and later photographed some of our pencil technique sketches. One of the harbor by Eugene Woerner, the Salt Museum by Norman Horton, The French Fort by Alta Evans, and the look-out from the Fort by Marion Smith have been framed and hang in the office of Marshall Higgins, County Parks Commissioner. From these photographs and using Mayor Heid's radio speech for reference, the Design students have made a set of posters advertising our village of Liverpool. Regular courses in Design one, two, and three, in Representation one, two three and four, and Art Appreciation have been given this
