THE ART DEPARTMENT The course was first offered in 1916 but it was not until 1926 that under the direction of Lar Hankanass that it became succes sful. Day classes have been continuing ever since and night classes in Art are given. A new feature in 1947 was the addition of Saturday Morning Classes for children. Other Directors through the years have been Mr. Leighton, 1929, Mr. H. G. Glyde, 1935, Mr. J. W. MacDonald, 1946 and Mr. I. H. Kerr, 1947. (jhe Depart¬ ment has five full time instructors now During the last few years, students of the Department have won honors in the Dominion wide poster contests sponsored by the Victorian Order of Nurses. Other awards won are scholarships presented by the Alberta Visual Arts Board. Outside commitments are undertaken by day students who make this part of their technical training. This aids them financially. Gratifying rewards have been obtained by graduates in Commercial Art through general advertising and display work. Graduates in Crafts and Ceramics are employed by the handicrafts division of the Red Cross in leather work and weaving. Fine Arts graduates have been employed as art instruc¬ tors and have made many outstanding contributions to the exhibitions of the Alberta Society of Artists.
