A Visit from the Vancouver Art School

: Once again Coqualeetza has been highly favoured by a visit from Principal Charles H.
Scott. Miss G. Melvin and several members of the classes of “The Vancouver School of
Decorative and Applied Art.”

Mr. Scott, assisted by Miss Gross, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Fisher, students of the school,
were watched with keen interest by the pupils and staff of Coqualeetza as they made sketches
from life of some of the girls and boys.

Miss Melvin described the process of making a piece of clay pottery while Miss Parker
gave a practical demonstration.

Miss Cokely was engaged in daintily decorating a box in colours.
Ine method used in making parchment copies of various forms of lettering was cleverly
illustrated by Miss Handley.

A very pleasurable evening was spent by all and some of our pupils have been encour-
aged to emulate the work of our visitors along the line of making life portraits.

Coqualeetza Chapel Fund

Eighteen years ago, the sum of 52.50 conscience money was received by the Principal
to be applied to some object for the benefit of the School. As there had been felt the need
of a Chapel, Principal Raley opened a Savings Account in the Bank of Toronto, Vancouver,
No. 2245, for that purpose, with an objective of $10,000.00 The fund now stands at $1,620.00.
We urgently appeal to the Alumni Associations to make this cause an objective.
