exhibition of the year's work. Laura Wilcox was the tea convener, while
Mrs. C. H. Scott, Mrs. J. S. Gordon, Mrs. J. Fyfe-Smith and Mrs. M. G.
Murrin presided at the urns. Hilda Rigby, ever-generous with the ser-
vices of her orchestra, provided music for the afternoon. That evening
an informal dance at the Vanderpant Galleries, to which the staff, all y
students and their partners were invited, brought to a close an auspicious

occasion.

Previous to this significant day, in honor of the graduates, the director
and Mrs. Scott entertained the school at a tea in their beautiful gardens.
Also the club arranged a picnic to Whytecliffe and a most enjoyable
dinner party at Jericho Country Club. On these two occasions the third
year students only were eligible to share the fun of the seniors.

| have next to report that The Paint Box, our school annual, had not the |
financial success of the previous issue, which can be accounted for in ‘a
two ways—in the first place the usual number of advertisements were
not secured, and, secondly, the book was received from the printers only
the day before school closing, which made it impossible to organize a
selling campaign. This year's editor, Ruth Ware, and her staff are now at
work on the 1930 edition. Judging from their unbounding energy, there
is no doubt that they will gain the high standard they have set themselves.

A re-union of all former Art School members was held in October, when e
present students entertained at a tea. We were delighted at the large .
number who returned to the clan that day, and speaking for those of us _
who leave the school this year, we hope this "Old-timers' Get-together"

will be an annual event.

The fourth Beaux Arts Ball was held on November the first, and in its (8
portrayal of the North American Indian during the earliest days of the . §
Paleface, was in striking contrast to the stately medieval ball of the ‘a
previous year. Again the Oak Dining Room of the Hotel Vancouver
was chosen for the event. According to custom, the President con-
vened. Decorations of totem poles, flanked by evergreens, large Indian
rugs, hides with their primitive picture—writings and tepees were most
ably and effectively planned by Phoebe Fuller, being carried out with
paint pot and brush by many a student after hours. An Indian chorus of
Art School girls, who had been trained at a dancing class formed in the
early fall, entertained during the evening with a dance to the Sungod.
