FRIENDS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL OF Music & Art

February 15, 1963

Dear Friend:
The High School of Music and Art is the only secondary public school in the United States whose students specialize in either Music or the Visual Arts. Your interest in its activities is very gratifying to us. 
The proceeds of our Annual Festival Concert and Art Sale make it possible for the Parents' Association to continue its work of furnishing scholarship aid to needy graduating students as well as art and other materials not supplied by the Board of Education to the undergraduate students. 
Our Festival is to be held this years at the end of April and once again we are sending this appeal for help.
We shall include in this year's sale, watercolors, oils, sculpture, pastels, prints, lithographs, etchings, woodcuts, and other works of art in all media. 
May we look forward to your participation and assistance through the contribution of a work of art?
The knowledge that your donation will aid in the artistic development of the gifted youngsters of our school should bring you great personal satisfaction. 
Such a manifestation by you will indicate, in the most cogent fashion, your belief that a cultural and artistic perceptiveness is as important to our future leaders, as is academic and scientific background, which are likewise within the curriculum.
Enclosed you will find a self-addressed post card for your reply. Please accept in advance our sincere appreciation for your encouragement. 

Sincerely yours,
Saul Solomon
Chairman, Art Committee
