Nlessa e m iss Cooper XX hen we look at the pictures in a gallery we see the finished product. Seldom unless we are painters ourselves do we think very much of the raw materials with which the artist has worked the colors which, before he began painting, were set out on his palette. These colors alone give no inkling of what the completed work of art will be when its creatoris technical skill, his selective seeing eye, his imagination, and his purpose have guided the choice and application of the paints to the canvas. You, who are being graduated from Riverdale this year, cannot yet envisage how the canvas, which is your life, will be designed, what hues will brighten or darken it, even exactly what its dominant subject will be. The genes of your heredity, the elements of your environment - call them what you will-fate, nature, education, ,-in fi? have perhaps already selected for you the size and shape of the canvas and have slightly sketched in the general composition but it is you yourself who must select the colors you will use the kind of brush stroke by which they will be applied, it will be your skill, your talent, your imagination, which will produce from your background and experience either a chaotic or a unified picture - one in which darkness and light, sadness and hap- piness appear in a balanced relationship, one in which all the values are true! It is how you use the color and the design that matters! When the portrait of yourself as an artist is finally hung in the gallery of life, it is my hope that each of you going out this year from Riverdale will create not a cheap, worthless daub, but a dignified, cherished masterpiece -one which will bring delight and inspiration to others.
