May 25 - 1933 THE CLASSICUM 29 LOOKING AHEAD We present herewith a brief review of the subjects taught in Ogden Senior High. We hope a perusal of this material will help all junior high school students to register wisely in the Senior High School. ART LeConte Stewart "Art is anything made or done by man that effects or moves us so that we see or feel the beauty in it. Wherever man lives, there one finds art. Art appreciation is the understanding and enjoyment of beautiful things; the power to appreciate grows through cultivating the sense of beauty—sometimes called the aesthetic sense." All of us have inherited from our early ancestors the desire to make beautiful things. As children we delighted to play in sand piles, building tunnels, or making mud pies. We liked to draw with colored chalks. Now educators know that the ability to make and invent things needs exercise. Therefore, in the schools of America a certain part of time is given to art. Young people may be helped in their business careers by knowing something about art. The salesman who knows how to present in an intelligent way to a prospective customer the art values as well as the practical values of merchandise will increase his sales; the taste of a manager of a store draws or turns away customers. His good taste or poor taste is shown in the kind of merchandise he sells. A knowledge of art often adds to the earning powers of business men and women. As those now in school grow older, they will probably have more and more leisure time, because as one reaction of this age of machinery the work¬ing week in America is being steadily reduced. What will they do with their leisure time? The radio, the movies, dances and sports, motor cars, speed boats, and airplanes may use some of it; but people of intelligence are finding a more lasting enjoyment and a fuller satisfaction through developing and understanding an appreciation of the various forms of art. No matter what a man's or a woman's vocation or profession is, life will be fuller and richer for those who learn to appreciate art. A knowledge and an understanding of art help to make living itself an art. To meet these needs the art department of Ogden High School lends its most earnest efforts.
