ART STUDENTS’ CLUB— (Continued from Page 33)
Our largest and most successful venture was the Beaux Arts Dance
held at the Ambassador in October, the decorative Motif of which
was Chinese, and a programme with Oriental chorus added to the
pleasure of the guests. A profit of $160 was realized, and the suc-
cess of this dance was made possible by the united effort of the entire
student body.
I have next to report that the School Annual named ‘“The Paint
Box,’’ which was a great success from a literary standpoint, was not
the financial success it was last year. This is accounted for in two
ways. One being that several hundred more copies were printed this
year than last year, and another reason being that many people expect
an Art School Annual to have drawings by the students and ex-
amples of their class work included in its pages. The first Annual did
have these, but the cost was defrayed by the Art School, while this
year the students had to either pay for them or do without. As we
could not afford the expense, we did without and the Annual suf-
fered in consequence. It is to be hoped that by some means the stu-
dents’ work will be included in ‘“The Paint Box”’ this year.
We have also had the pleasure of hearing addresses from Mrs. Eric
Brown, wife of the director of our National Art Gallery in Ottawa;
from our Principal, Mr. Scott; and recently from Mr. Baker, who
spoke on ““The Philosophy of Art.”’
Then last, but not least, I must mention the tea that was given by
the Club in June, after the Closing Exercises. The tea was served
in the large community room, and the wives of our teachers pre-
sided. Hilda Rigby kindly played the violin, assisted by her sister at
the piano and a friend at a ’cello. Pindy Tisdall helped convene the
arrangements with the president, and the whole affair gave a charm-
ing finish to the closing programme.
In closing my report, I wish to thank all the students who have
helped to make this year a success, both financially and socially. It
is only with their combined co-operation in all our undertakings
that the Art Students’ Club has become a needed factor in the Art
School to-day. FRANCES V. GATEWOOD, President.

March 6, 1928.

To bring the students’ activities in the Club up to the present date:
The April meeting of the Students’ Club took the form of a Spring
Fashion Show, when the Second Year Students gave the other classes
an opportunity to know just what to wear, and exactly how to wear
it! The fashions ranged from bathing suits of the year 1885 to
predicted evening dresses for 1988.

Designs for the class-pins were voted upon, and Betty Weston’s

was chosen for the School pin. MARGARET LEWIS, Secretary.
