14 SAMARA ART NOTES THIS year has been especially interesting in the art class because of the great variety of subjects chosen. We had fun planning and pain ting murals. Joan Gillies completed one herself of different phases of sport. We are proud of it. Lois Lambert, Elizabeth Gilchrist, Paula Peters, and Mary Buckley painted an interesting mural, show- ing costumes of many lands. The Fourth and Fifth forms also did one on this subject. The animal element was at work again producing some beautiful horse sketches. Also, sports enthusiasts were busy drawing skiers from different angles. Patsy Drake, Jacguie Workman, Joan Gillies, Elizabeth Gilchrist, Mary Buckley and Nancy Bowman had a wonderful time working on backdrops and properties for the senior play. Priscilla Aylen, Diana Warner, Lois Lambert, Jacguie Workman and Mary Buckley painted excellent portraits for it too. For a short time during each class some- one posed for us, and we had lessons in composition and design. This naturally led to a great many interesting figure studies. We have been working hard to achieve a well-filled page. The Arts Form have been visiting the National Gallery, and have come back weary but inspired. It has been a very good year for the art class, as many more girls than usual attended. We are looking forward to our annual ex- hibition later in the year. For any improvements we have made, the credit is due to Miss May, and also a ' thank you for many happy hours. Nancy Bowman. THE WOULD-BE FISHER The fog is thick as it can be, fln ' I ' m going a ' fishing way out to sea. Way out to sea in my own wee boat, I ' ll row a lot, but I ' ll mostly float. I ' ll catch a fish as big as me, fln ' I ' ll bring it home to eat for tea. I ' m glad the fog is fogging so. For there ' re some things nursey shouldn ' t know. I ' ve got some hooks and a fishing line, fln ' the clams for bait are so fat and fine. The fog ' s so white. My this is fun. Oh, I hope I don ' t meet anyone. I ' d better hurry to the shore. Case nursey sees me through the door. What lots of seaweed. Is that my boat? Why its stranded, beached, the tide is out! Now I can ' t go sailing out to sea fln ' there ' ll be no fish to eat for tea. fln ' this was such a chance to go, With all this fog a ' fogging so. Mary Osier.
