Show The Art Pageant . . A Work of Art The Springville High School faculty and students are to be congratulated for the fine entertainment, which they presented last week to mark 50 vears of art in Springville. Art is taken 'for granted to a certain extent in this city, has become so much a part of most everyone's life that one can hardly realize ' what it contributes to an individual or what the iown and the schools would be without it. But when the. public turns out to fill the high school auditorium for two evenings and sees what art means and contributes to the students, interest is revived re-vived and no obsticle seems too great to. continue the art tradition in our city and in our schools. The manner in which the pageant was presented, every act and phase of the entertainment was a work of art bringing a feeling of unity, cooperation and accomplishment to students and a sense of 'pride to tho?e who saw it. Few high' school students are touched with the cultural aspects of art as are those in our schools and it is therefor fitting that we express our respect and devotion at every opportunity to those who are responsible for the beginning of the project; to those who have carried it on, and to those who now are taking an active part in perpetuating the movement in the schools and in our city. The current April exhibit is commendable from a standpoint of the preliminary work which has gone into getting the 271 paintings paint-ings to the school and arranging them in the gallery. The exhibit affords an opportunity to see much of the fine work of noted artists throughout the country and to note the trends in art. It afi'ords the school an opportunity to add one or more fine paintings paint-ings to the permanent collection and gives thousands of Utahns and art patrons a chance to see and collect the best in art. |
