A surprising number and yariety of masks
turned out for the Mad Artists' Tea Party,
held Wednesday the 11th in the All College
Lounge. Those of you who didn't attend
missed Alf Waterman in a pretty pink
number and Dave Maclagan wearing something
that frankly defies description. (Where's
a camera when you need one?) Several people
challenged Bill Gibson for his lack of
mask until he explained that he was really
Frank Gelin.

On a more serious note, there were two
presentations made. Charles Van Sandwyk,
the Commercial Art graduate who made
headlines this fall when he won the ACCC
national Art competition, came by to
present the College with a copy of his
soon to be published limited edition book.
A Selection of Neighbourly Birds was the
winning entry in the contest, and is in
the process of being published. The book
contains a remarkable collection of
watercolour illustrations and hand lettered
text. President Doug Jardine accepted on
behalf of the College, and is hoping to
buy additional copies to be auctioned off
for the gymnasium fund.

Another presentation was made by the Art
Department to Connie Lucas from Accounting.
Connie, who just celebrated her birthday,
will be retiring soon, and the department
got together to purchase and frame a
student painting that she had been admiring
when it was on display in the hall. She
left the party with a smile on her face
and the painting tucked under her arm.
(This, incidentally, leads this reporter
to speculate on how she managed to cart
home the plant that was presented to her
by the Accounting office at a small party
for her last week. It has lovely flowers
and is about the size of Jana Bailey's
Austin Mini.)

Original valentines created by the Art
students were sold, with proceeds going to
the gymnasium fund, and sales of wine were

even brisker. The food was excellent, and
the decor by Joyce Fancher and the Art
students gave a lift to the Lounge.

_ 50s whose turn is it to host the All
College party next?
