EDITORIAL

With this issue of "The Palette", we
come to the close of our first year as
a student publication, It seems to us
that our efforts have not been entirely
in vain, and that we have laid a good
groundwork for those who are going to
continue after us,

This issue could well be calleda
"Goodebye" number, for in its columns
are printed farewell messages from gra=
duates, student officials, and teachers
Not to be outdone, your editor takes
this opportunity of bidding Au Revoir
to all readers of our magazine. Thanks
go to all who have helped in any way
during the past months “in making the
publication the success we try to think
it has been,

The cosoperation of the students has
been, considering all things, fairly
satisfactory, The helpful assistance
and constructive criticism of the teach
ers, and particularly of Mr, Amess, has
been invaluable,

There is every reason to believe that
now that the ice has been broken, and
that the publication has gone through
three issues, that next year it will be
presented improved in both form and con
tent.

In closing, we offer our congratula-
tions to Miss Kildall, retiring presi«
dent of the Student Council, for her
fine work, To Miss Benson, the new
president, we extend our best wishes
for the coming term, and we extend our
heartfelt greetings to the students,
staff and friends of the art school,

COVER DESIGNER:

CURTAIN --— 1934-35

The end of a school year is always
momentous in the life of a student, for
it marks the completion of a course of
work followed for a period of nine mon=
ths. and it is a time when the student
is appraised on the quality and quanti-
ty of the work done,

Post-examination time is therefore a
time for self-examination,

"Ars longa, vita brevis" = is an old
Latin tag but it remains true today,and
the art student like any other student
must see to it that this brief student
life is not misspent,

The world today may appear difficult,
but it is the same old world still of-
fering opportunities for those who fear

lessly and courageously meet its probe -

lems with a trained and steady mind,

The future is never revealed but much
of the best thoyght of today visions a
future in which art and craft will play
an even bigger role than it has done in
the past,

To those students graduating this
year we would say Godespeed=-believe in
yourself and in your work and try with
all your might to fit your training to
the uses of society,

The school has done its best+--the
rest is up to you.

This year marks the completion of the
first decade in the life of the school.
During these ten years art expression
and appreciation have developed enor
mously in the city and province,

The Vancouver School of Art with a
student enrolment during these ten
years of over 4000 pupils (Day & Even=
ing) has contributed largely to this
condition, We have reason therefore to
enter our second decade hopefully.

Miss Mary-Jane Kildall
