that your own students are doing better than yourself. Well, c'est la
vie! We, at the K.5.A., wish Bob greater success for the future.

It was indeed a sad story to find out, two weeks past the dead-line for
C,C.'67, that while fees and entry forms were received on time, no
ceramic ware had been received by officials in Montreal. The ceramic
pieces were sent by Express ten days before the dead-line. They were
lost somewhere on their way to Montreal. The crate contained three
of my pieces, two by D. Bentley and one by A.Suknasky. Bentley and
Suknasky were exhibiting for the first time. What a way to start!

MATITUK and MISHA have travelled all the way from Baffin Island to
attend Ceramic classes at the K.8.A. G.L,REDDICK, placement
officer for the branch of Northern Affairs in Ottawa who travelled to
Welson with them, said he hoped other Eskimos would enrol here. It
is apparent that a pattern is emerging and that this may be only the
beginning. Last year we had MONA THRUSHER, a young Eskimo
woman who displayed a tremendous creative power and an even greater
ability to master raw materials. What appears critical is the initial
stage of their lives in a world very different from their own.
Adjustment at this time may be very difficult for somc, although the
Art School environment may play a great part in overcoming the
initial inertia.

The Kootenay School of Art has been officially invited by the City of
Faenza, Italy, to enter the new International Ceramic Competition
which will be held in that city this year.
