awww aj vfwzz. Never since the mural The Apotheosis of Youth or as it is popularily called The Vision of Youth , was completed for our high school by Vesper Lincoln George, has its message been more in keeping with the problems and ideals of youth, than it is today. The quotation from Proverbs 29118: Where There ls No Vision, The People Perish is now a real issue. Our citizens must carry forward the ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all people. These are not idle words, they are the vibrating, challenging life-cry for all. The story is worth repeating. It is quoted from the Catalog of Art com- piled by Grace A. Blake in 1932. The subject represents the service of education in the evolution of the citizen. His imagination stimulated and his intelligence quickened, he fares forth on the barge of life to contribute his power to the perfection of an ideal civilization. On the left Alma Mater, svmbolizing Education, is seen on her throne, 'urrounded by the humanities. Science, Literature, Art, Manual Training, and Domestic Science are each represented. A soldier guards her throne, sym- bolizing the protection of Patriotism, which defends and makes possible her existence. On the last step of this throne a senator symbolizing Authority, is placing rr golden wreath of laurel upon the brow of a young graduate. Another youth has alreadv received his wreath, and is eager to assume his responsibilities in the affairs of men. Opportunity, in red and gold, fortified by Courage, in armor, invites him aboard the barge of life: to fare forth and contribute his knowledge and energy in creating the ideal civilization of the future, sym- bolized by the vision in the clouds. Hope stands at the tiller as the sail is hoisted. Providence is symbolized by the provision being taken aboard. The group of figures at the right represent Labor, Industry, and Thrift, necessary accompaniments to successful endeavor. The peacock symbolizes Pride, a modicum of which is necessary to the highest of efforts.
