ART DEPARTMENT A S the centre for the fostering of art-consciousness in the Province, the Art Department continues the work of develop¬ ing the artistic talent of young Albertans. The registration both in the first and second year has been about the same as last year. The best of last year’s beginners returned for a seeond term and with them a number of talented third year students. The work of the more advanced students is, as before, highly individual and has produced a very varied assortment of work, including: illustra¬ tions, posters, oil paintings, mural panels, batik, leather work, and modelling. Anne Jusypink has been given a free trip to the New York World’s Fair on the strength of some of her work which was seen by a well-known film producer. J. S. Perrott has done a poster for the Banff School of Fine Arts, which will be held in August. The poster will be lithographed and displayed throughout the Dominion. Good luck to these promising students! We have been hearing a good deal this year from former students who have gone farther afield. Miss Betty Carlyle, after getting a thorough ground work with us, is doing advanced work at the Slade School in England. Miss Myrtle Jackson is making a name for herself in Vancouver. From New York comes word that Miss Jorgens, who is on a year’s leave of absence from the Staff, has won a prize for a decoration to be shown at the World’s Fair. The evening class has been conducted on Mondays and Wednes¬ days, with a good attendance throughout the winter. The life class has been the main attraction of the evening classes, and much ex¬ cellent drawing has resulted. A langscape class is being conducted during the spring months, including Saturday afternoon periods, which will bring to a close a very successful year’s work. Page twenty-c

THE ANNUAL BANQUET HE week prior to the banquet marked a period of tense expect¬ ancy and excitement throughout the entire school. “Tech. Banquet” was a very hackneyed expression by the end of the week. By 6:25 p.m. the rotunda of the Palliser Hotel was crowded with merry Tech, students bedecked in their finest toggery. Before long the doors of the main ballroom were opened and with surprisingly little confusion the students found their places. During the banquet meal, classes rose in a body, time after time, to give vent to their spirits in hearty class yells. The Motor group gave the best account of themselves in this department. As usual, Mr. Fowler filled the position of Toastmaster. The pleasant manner in which he introduced the speakers was usually to the embarrassment of the Staff but of course to the high glee of the assembled students. This year the Banquet Committee was fortunate in securing Mr. H. P. Wright, formerly a Staff member and now a master-farmer, to deliver an inspirational address. His remarks regarding human¬ itarian and scientific discoveries left the students with food for serious thought. The address by our Principal, Dr. Carpenter, dealt with the statistics relating to the present school year. He sounded a note of optimism as he reviewed the increased enrollment and the greater variety of courses offered. Mr. T. Massing, the President of the Students’ Association pro¬ posed the toast to the Staff. In a few well chosen words he expressed the respect and friendship which the student body has for its in¬ structors. Mr. Fleming replied, recounting some of the pecularities of the Staff, much to the delight of the students. Other items on the program included community singing, led by Claude Roberts; selections by the Symphony Orchestra, the Choral Society, and the Composite Trio; and piano-accordian selections by Mr. Stan. James. The program was closed by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” The remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing to the music of Jerry Fuller and his orchestra. Much credit is due to H. Yerkerk and his committee of willing workers for making this event such an outstanding success.
