COMPOSITION DRAW, DRAW, DRAW ` The embryo artist little realizes how very valuable is the study of saucepans, milk bottlés and soup strainers in his first years of struggle for the mastery of art; for these seemingly ridiculous objects teach him nevertheless to judge better pro- portion of line and mass and through continual changing and redrawing of these objects a fine structure is founded which will carry the artist through his whole сагеег. d “The student is horrified by the drawing of casts— but later ori he begins to smile with self-satisfaction on realization that his hieroglyphics are turning into definite reproductions of the casts. He sees Wagner, Adam, Dante, all coming out of the chaos of charcoal smudges on his paper. He sees that light and shade, oan be so manipulated as to become part of the composition at the sáme time, emphasizing the realistic qualities of the drawing. | In later years the artist comes to look back on these student days of training as the best ones of his life, for with the slogan of “Draw, draw, draw” alveays sounding in his ear, he has found the real secret of success.

SONGS SHADOWS FALI 1 Night of 1 REMEMBER í R GRADUATION With downcast eyes—we tread the halls, We take our smocks home every night, With voices pitched quite low, Our bags are taken, too, With shaking hands we touch the walls, We don't throw turps to left and right, We fear to graduate. We think we graduate. We listen to each heeding word, And we may say we're glad to part From teachers grown so dear, With our dear We take advice 'bout bee and bird, But We hopé to graduate. Fawcett School gratitude's in every heart, For we must graduate.
