EDITORIAL

The first issue of this year's four
publications which we hope to make big-
ger and better is fortunate in chronic-
aling the outstanding artistic event of
the year - the Beaux Arts Ball. Such a
colorful innovation asthe dramatization
presented by the Art School portrays
graphically the definite value of the
School tothe artistic life of the city.

The Beaux Arts Ball was a wonderful
sight from all accounts of it. We are
glad it was such a success in every way
- and congratulate those who took part in
making it so. As it was for the purpose
‘of re=decorating the Art Gallery let us
look forward to the day when we shall
see our Vancouver Art Gallery all re-
painted and happily "at home” to the
various visiting exhibitions ~ as also
the permanent one.

We wishto thank Mr. Scott for writing
up the Curtain for us. Many thanks go
to Miss Mary Jane Kildall for designing
our cover - also hiss June Duncan for
designing our Title Page. And we thank
all contributors to this number, In
this magazine you see we have some very
lovely prints ofthe three famous murals
by Ed Hughes, Orville Fisher and Paul
Gorenson, Also a very gay supplement,
For these we are most grateful to Mr.
Amess - our Senior Advisor - and it
seems we can only thank him very much
for them and for the great help and in-
terest he has taken in forwarding the
purpose of this magazine.

EDITOR

CURTAIN. UP

I suppose one of the most
awaited expressions of a school
school annual, monthly, or as in this
case, I believe, its quarterly. (May I
interject here that the word"quarterly"
is usually indicative of a severely in-~
tellectual type of magazine devoted
either to Economics, Science, Politics,
or the Arts). I do not know whether
the magazine editor and staff are fully
aware of this connotation. I hope not,
for I feel thata school magazine should
not be too heavy in spirit, but rather
express the play quality in contrast to
the working quality of the school.

The magazine offers an opportunity to
all students in expression through the
medium of words instead of shapes.
Words are the vehicle of ideas, It is
desirable therefore to make sure you
have something to say before you write
it down for publication - otherwise the
Editor's blue pencil will come down
severely, Through the school magazine
a voice, otherwise inarticulate, may be
heard which will help in creating a
school spirit.

A school spirit is
mutual understanding between students
and between students and staff. Any
school wherein the arts are taught must
seek for this understanding if each
would be enriched.

Such understanding demands tolerance,
unselfishness, courtesy, and is tremen-
dously helped by a sense of humour --
Get these qualities in your writing.
