80 THE TECHALOGUE June,1946 Mr. Ernest Lindner, who has been in charge of art work here since its inception, is a Canadian artist of first rank. His works are widely recognised and praised by experts and by those in charge of art exhibitions throughout Canada. The art department is in the room at the rear of the bookkeeping room and Mr. Lindner's store room is found in the space under the outside steps leading to the front door of the school. However, the work done in these quarters is not to be measured by the physical surroundings so often designated by their occupants as the morgue. Our contributor mentions some of the members of the art class such as Loren Teed, much given to splashing radiant colors across his paperg Haldora Gunnlaugson, able with a little color to create a dainty effectg Robert Currie, following his bent to create miniatures, Eddie Sebestyen, rapidly progressing in outdoor sketchingg Warren Roy, with patience and skill creating lino-cuts, and a number of others whom he describes as trying to recreate the universe with poster paints. Students from other Collegiate Institutes in the city come to the art department on Wednesday afternoons. Some of these young peo- ple with special talents and interests will form some of Mr. Lindner's advanced classes next year or later. l.-Af? THE BOOSTER CLUB Near the beginning of the present term, Mr. Cox, Mr. Chan and Mr. Sexsmith gathered with a handful of students in an attempt to form a council whose purpose would be to create more school spirit and interest in school activities. The group readily took up the work under the name of the Booster Club. Its early accomplishments were abundant-supplying the students with beanies and booster crests,'l editing a short periodical on news about the school, and sponsoring the first gala dance of the year. However, the stem of thingsl' fell through, and after the Christmas recess it can be said the Booster Club almost fell into oblivion. Possibly next year it will be revived and increased to become a council suitable for the worthy purpose it has to fill. Here's hoping. .-,171 BOOSTER CLUB HOP Tech's first dance of the year was, as Tech dances should be, and as they usually are, swell With music supplied by Gordie King and his Band, and stomping, Cdancing that isj by some three hundred students, an evening of real fun was had. Lunch was served by the club and strains of Home Sweet Home crept in about midnight, ending this 1945-46 opening school party. Congrats go to the Booster Club for the grand time.

Jenkins. .,-k...T SCHOOL LIBRARY RENDERING STEADY SERVICE TO STUDENTS The librarian reports that the most striking characteristic of stu- dent enquiry at the library is expressed in the question, Any new books? Miss Flatt always welcomes this question and remarks that, from the principal to the newest grade IX student, there is evident a very strong desire to be one of the first to read the newest books on the shelves. To satisfy this desire it is necessary to be well acquainted with current books and with publishers' lists and write-ups. Fortunately, Miss Flatt remarks, it is now possible to secure good books with large type, clear illustrations, and attractive covers. Books widely read and showing signs of wear, go back into circulation as soon as they can be rebound. Instances of the appeal of new books cited by the librarian are beautiful editions of Robin Hood and of Black Beauty, for each of which there was literally a line-up for several days. To keep the books looking new as much as possible, the librarian furnishes a paper cover for each user. The moment a book shows signs of beginning to break up, it is taken off the shelves and taken to the binder for repairs. It was unfortunate that no library club was formed this year for the Wednesday afternoons. Last year's club gained a wide knowledge of library work and procedure and at the same time rendered very valuable help to the librarian. Alf., GAINING APPRECIATION AND DEVELOPING TASTES AND SKILLS IN ART The Techalogue appreciates the voluntary contribution from the art students of a story of the work being done in that department. We wish to join in expressing our esteem for this competent depart- ment which contributes in so many ways to the brightness and suc- cess of this school.
