His work was judged by the board of directors and the Scholar ship and Art committees. He will have the privilege of studying under the best of in structors and will also be able to show his work. Only the most promising of students gets these memberships. The young artist is hoping he can come home for a visit in June this year. He says New York will now be his home. The community of Nyssa helped Carlos before he left for New York and through his first year of schooling. Since then he has worked and gone to school, supporting himself. (Editor’s note: Residents of the Nyssa area can be very proud of their young artist, Carlos Parra. The Journal publishers feel that there is another Nyssan who should be given muchcredit for his success. She is Mrs. E. H. (Virginia) Brandt, whose love of art and actual talents helped to create interest and stimulate this young man. In fact, his original art training was under her supervision).
