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
