When Mr. Bryans sent us the masthead he had this to say: 'V' • : j In the first place, we want to present this to THE YANCEY RECORD as a gift to the com munity. Now, as to the symbo lism of the details. At the top are depicted the Black Moun tains as seen looking south from Burnsville. To the lef t of the lettering is the statue of Otway Burns in the square. At the right is a field of tobacco. The statue symbolizes the county’s ties to our nation’s past, and the tobacco stands for present day activites and the county’s agri cultural resources. Between the lettering appears a sketch of one of the county’s many old homesteads which stands for the importance of horn» and family' life. Next appea-s a drawing of the church at Pensaco'a. deno'- •iig the part the cnurcli has played in the history and present day life of Yancey County. In tribute to the county’s great natural beauty, a field of dais ies appears at the right, and a field of mixed wildflowers is growing below the tobacco field. Interspersed in the design are leaves and flowers in recognition of natural resources and recrea tional potentialities.” Mr. Bryans in partnership with Everett Kivette, has for several years conducted a sum mer Art School in Burnsville.

He first came he’e at the age of 18 to study under Mr. Frank Herring and Mr. Shorter who many years ago founded the Herring-Shorter Art School, in Burnsville. For the first three years the school was operated in the Nu- Wray Inn. Afterward, Herring and Shorter bought several ac res of land just off the Pensacola highway and built the school there. After the Herring-Bt»or ter school was discontinued, John Byrans and Everett Kivette took over, and have operated a school in Burnsville ever since. Their school draws students from throughout the country, in addition to a great many local people. Each summer they give scholarships to local young peo ple who show unusual talent but are unable to pay the tuition re quired. Paintings of three of their young students Mary Hess, Rosemary Kampf and Mitzi Presnell will be shown in the annual Fine Arts Exhibit to be held in Asheville in March, sponsored by the Western Dis trict of the N.
