"Art Students Hold Display of Summer Work"

Vancouver Province - July 4, 1933

Editor: some of the people listed below as "students" were in fact art school staff and chaperones.

     Students of the Vancouver School of Art have returned from their summer school outing at the Royal Savary Hotel, Savary Island, where they have spent ten days painting and sketching the glorious scenery.
     In addition to their outdoor art studies the students enjoyed tennis and badminton tournaments, golf matches, a swimming gala, a masquerade ball, and bonfires. They were also entertained nearly every evening by Mr. Wolfe Schwangart, well-known radio artist, who played and sang the folk songs of many countries.
     An exhibition of sketches was held on the wide verandah of the hotel, when prizes were awarded for the best pieces of work done. The prizes, donated by Mr. Mortimer Lamb, were won by Mr. Edward Hughes, first; Mr. James Dickie, second; and Mr. Orville Fisher, third.
