MStc aHMwmin. Salem, Ore.," Sunday, April 17, 1953 By CARL HALL .It should come as do surprise that the young who are creative ly involved are the happy ones, the- affirmative ones. They are Sfeedy to know life, they gorge themselves on esthetics, thoughts, ideas, because they know they can invest these areas with form and meaning, whether It be in a painting, short storr, poem or song. They find that they have a grip on life, they feel they can fight it, test it, and through joy and struggle achieve ..personality, a sell They break free from the ominous sounding term "crowd" to become indi viduals that feel a moral bond with life and hot snared or trap ped by it The above thoughts run through my mind when I read some of the biogiaphical material that I . receive for this . column. ; Of all the letters I have receiv ed so far June Lytles has given me the most satisfaction, and since it was a fine, sincere and confident letter I wisn to re produce it in fulL "Somewhere, .sometime, within my seventeen and a half years, I began to draw. My early child hood was spent in Albany, Ore gon. I was a. Tomboy and led a gang of Fellas. This didn't give me much time or thought for art. But at the age of ten, I moved to Salem, curled my hair, and became a girl. (Yet, with no fewer boisterous activities). I had my first studio in our basement where I gave free draw- ' ing "lessons to the younger chil dren of the neighborhood. Since I set up this first studio six years ago, I've gone through m-ny phases of drawing, as I have phases of life. It is an interest ing thing every phase of life a young girl between the ages of ten and seventeen goes through is recorded in my drawings through the years. Someday I hope to write a book on this subject The Future: I plan to graduate from college then attend Chou inard Art Institute for further training. Someday I hope to be rated among the world's best cartoonists." About the crayon drawing re produced at the right, she has this to say: "When rendering this. idea, I picked several colors (rich reds, greens, purples and blues) which in themselves were pleasing, but clashed when put one against another. I planned to separate these colors with heavy black lines, - designed so that when -viewing the piece of work the onlooker unconsciously would not be able 'to decide whether he liked these colors or not. This would bring about the same emotion the man in the drawing was feeling about life He wants life yet he would like to escape the confusion. He's too blind to know that underneath confusion lies the calm." June Lytle, a senior student of Mrs. Opal Berry in South Salem High's art department, is a very talented girl, excelling in all creative fields, drama, writ ing, and of course, painting.
