Ертн GUSTAFSON To satisfy the urgent desires of an enthusiastic three-year day class, to further their knowledge of landscape, of poster, of cos tume or of interior decoration, to give the eligible students a teacher’s training course, is indeed reason enough for a fourth year. We study the Fine Arts so that we can understand and appreciate painting, sculpture and architecture and that we, too, may be- come artists and contribute to the world of beauty. We study modelling so that we can fashion with our fingers the designs we would like to execute in wood, marble or bronze. We take this means of thanking once more the Newark Public Library for throwing its doors open to our students at all times. We would also like to thank the librarians for the help they have always rendered us. We thank citizens of Newark for coming so ably to our assistance when we asked for their help in making this year book а súccess by giving us their ads. We day students have instituted the production of the yearly magazine called “Ye Paint Pot”. All the articles, all the designs used were executed by the students. We have after school classes so that the enthusiastic students may have a chance of continuing their study of the nude. Because articles combining both a practical and decorative value are made in the arts and crafts classes. The artist catches an illusive effect. He records an action with a few lines. Later on in his studio he dreams, daubs and develops his idea. Because it is the finest art of all time. All fundamental principles are found in these works of the old masters. Every conscientious student should study the antique. Hats on! That's where they belong. They must be comfortable, in style, and suit the personality of the wearer. To die or not to die. Be a die cutter if you are neat, patient, artis- tically inclined and keen of eye and mind. And if you want to. Night students become like owls prowling out after the sun has set, so now they are given an opportunity to enjoy working in daylight. The Set-back Law will bring forth from designers a new style of Architecture; a real contribution from America to Art. The geometric patterns, originated by the Greeks, have never been surpassed because they tend toward simplicity in which we find the greatest beauty.
