JUAN ACEVEDO---an Industrial Artist
'Vith such a bombastic letterhead, one can easily see why Juan Acevedo is a success. But before we go on let us remind you that Juan Acevedo is the originator, the artist and the printer of our last Issue’s cover which our editor was credited for*
Juan Acevedo is a student of UCLA, the layout man and cartoonist of the yearbook, art editor- of ‘The Goal Post,” and still has one more year for higher honors. For four years noxv, he has been working as a "freelance artist, doing a series of posters for the American Railway Express, The Sud-Pacifico de . Méjico Railroad, and window displays, and travel booklets for Spratt’s Mexico Tours.

He graduated from the. Los Ágeles City College in 1936, was editor of the Yearbook for two years),
staff artist on the tri-weokly newspaper and manager of the poster shop. In athletics, ho was
captain and first man on the Oross-country team for two years, and hold the school record in the

Such a guild would put on an annual exhibit; have activities that -would help in publicising its work. Plus that it could have cla.ssos of an informal nature where they could gain much fromea ch other.
With such a follow taking such definite stops towards our bottormont, wo can't help but have all tho confidence in tho world for him, and may wo thank him for bo1nc.' a proof for tho skeptical '’A Mexican hasn't a char-cc.
