L IS A PLEASURE to welcome the Evening Classes to the School Annual.
The Day Students have had the opportunity before of expressing
themselves in print, but this is the first time that the evening section
has participated. ‘The members of each class have given their own par
ticular phase and have also contributed to the general section of the maga
zine with a resulting chronicle of subject matter which should be of inter-
est and an exchange of ideas which should be helpfully stimulating.

The Evening class program, is itself, very interesting. If you
happen to be coming up Cambie or along Dunsmuir on one of the four
nights that the school is in session you will see the lights flick on.

The glow in Room 4 is Art Appreciation; in Room 1, Photography
Lecture; in Room 3, Elementary Drawing; in the Cafeteria an exhibition
or a meeting. Upstairs, Leatherwork, the Office and Library and the
cooler, artificial daylight of the Painting class, while in the attic shadowed
half-moons show where Pottery is under way. Another evening it will
be Intermediate Drawing, Commercial Art, Interior Decoration, Advan-
ced Life, Clay Modelling and Photography Lab. Just to give a literal
example of the fusion between Day and Evening school three Manual
Arts classes commencing at four-thirty in the afternoon, give a link in
the Dawn to Dusk character of some of the rooms.

Our local wit with the comptometer brain is computing the dis-
tances travelled by the students to and from the school. We'll let you
know when we have the results but I am sure that they will be staggering.
Just to note a few spots from which students travel two or three nights
a week—Steveston—Marpole—Lynn Valley—West Vancouver—New
Westminster and “way out in the rugged east,” Port Coquitlam. With
an average attendance exceptionally high, this surely bespeaks interest.

It would not be merely a figure of speech to say that the lights
of the Evening school are not merely a glow but a force in the culture
and commerce of the city. And one grand thought as we close up for
the night—the lights of the school do not go out with the switches but
go home in sparks with the students. A light to lighten our city to a
more practical application of a truer beauty.

With all best wishes to the annual.
