After high school graduation, Arnold Friberg received unusual advice from his LDS bishop, who generally counseled young men to serve missions: Forego the mission. The Mormon bishop told Friberg to “Go to art school instead, for you will do more good through developing your talent than you could do in two years of door-to-door tracting.” Following that advice “with alacrity,” Friberg entered the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.

In high school, crowds cheered Arnold Friberg’s athletic performance on the football field and in the boxing arena, but in greatest success came in the field of art. He did not like to paint things from his own life but rather paint things of great antiquity. In recognition of his talent, Friberg received three national art awards before high school graduation.
