, , Always an important and happy event the Commence- ment this year was particularly memorable because it marked the official acceptance of a magnificent gift to the school â€" fourteen superb landscapes painted and donated by Fred S. Haines,,R;C.A., 0.S.A., a top ranking Canadian artist who has lived in ’Thornhill for the 'past 42 years. A few of the pictures record the fast vanishing rural aspect of Thornhill. “Blossom Time” and “Pasture” (exhibited at the Canadian Show in Paris, France) were painted on the Pawson farm through which Johnson Ave. now 'runs. Another depicts “Spring on the German Mills Creek”, and still another, the team of work horses belonging to the late Ollie Boyle who used to farm the property which is now the Ladies’ Golf Club. The remainder were painted in the Haliburton and Espanola districts. Whether they portray the seasonal majesty of forests, lakes and streams, or the serene beauty of the "rolling Ontario countryside all are vibrant with colour and sunshine and that special quality which gives a lift to the spirit of the beholder. The students and staff of Thornhill High School, and the vill- age at large are indeed fortunate to be able to enjoy and treasure these beautiful pictures for years to come. ' by Doris M. FitzGerald , "The goals of an art education are no different from those in any other forms of education,” contended Mr.‘ Sidney H. Watson, R.C.A., O.S'.A., Principal of the Ontario‘ College of Art, in his thought-provoking, address at the Fourth Annual Commencement Exercises .of Thornhill High School. The trained artist, he explained, strives to be observant, aware, and discriminating, and these qual- ities are essential to success in any business or profession. It was a novel and stimulating departure to have an artist as guest speaker, and the programme, planned to honour the good looking young graduates and prizewinners, was full of interest for the large audience. Adding also to the pleasure of the evening were the music and songs by the school orchestra and mixed choir under the'direction of Mr. E. Lazar, B.A. Thornhill is the second High School to be honoured by Mr. Haines. Several years ago he gave a collection of pictures to the new High School in Meaford, the town in which he was born. Fred S. Heine‘s left Meaford at the age of 17 to begin his career in art in Toronto. He studied at the then Central Ontario School of Art, and later at the Academie des Beaux Arts de Anvers where he won the medal for figure paint- ing. Noted for his work as an etcher, and also as a painter of animals and landscapes. Mr. Haines is past president of the Royal Canadian Academy, the Ontario Sooiety of Artists and the Arts and Letters Club Toronto, and is a member of many socie- ties. For five years he was dir- ector of the Art Gallery of Tor- onto. for 18 years he was princi- pal of the Ontario College of Art. and for a long period he directed the Art Gallery at the Canadian National Exhibition. He is repre- sented in the National Gallery, Ottawa: the Art Gallery of Tor- onto; the University of Alberta; the Art Gallery. Saskatoon; the Sarnia Public Library, and in many private collections. T-hornhill. High School Graduates Hear Principal? "Ont, Art _ College 4th Annual Commencement The Commencement Exercises‘ opened with a prayer by the Rev. Calvin Chambers, B.A.. B.D.. and a hymn. Then. bringing greetings from the 13 members of York Central District High School Bd., Mr. H. W. R. Sayers. the chair- man. spoke of the tremendous growth in the district, which cov- on 150 square miles. Contrasting the high school population which stood at 300 in 1949, with the more than 1500 students in 1953, he warned that the end is not yet in sight, and another high school and additions to the exist- ing ones, must be expected. Wish- ing the graduating class "Good luck". he urged them as charter members to develop and cherish the school traditions. and as men and women, to guard against compromising their principles in years to come. Fred S. Haines Donates Fourteen Landscapes After expressing appreciation to all who had helped with-the Commencement Exercises, and to the donors of prizes and awards,‘ Principal A. S. Eison turned to the Honour Graduates seated on the platform and remarked, “It is not my intention to belabour you with an address . . . A111 wish to do this evening as. a fare- well gesture is to call your atten- tion to the fact that at this com- mencement we are stressing par- ticularb' the aesthetic and artis- tic. Inthis world of bickering, enmity, strife and misunderstand-‘ inn, f we-are to retain our sanity, we must look above the sordid and‘irightening to regain faith in ourselves. and in the purpose- ful meaning of life. If I may quote a part from some very old literature with which I fear we of the present eneration are ‘be- coming less an less familiar. but whose truths have guided Chris- tendom for generations.

B.A., B.Ed., who deserlbed him as an Artist whose work has been widely exhibited, and as a "man of influence" who is guide and advisor to hundreds of talented young students from every eorn- er of the country. He has also, she said, done much to promote and industry. He designed the mural‘for the board room of the recently completed headquarters of the Imperial Oil Co. of Canada. and for the Chapel of the New Toronto General 'Tospital. Expressing his pleasure at .heing invited to attend the Com- mencement Exercises. and to be assdciated again with Mr. Haines. former principal of the Ontario College of Art, Mr. Watson com- mented that the pleasant duty and privilege of addressing a graduating class is often extend- ed to principals, who are usually considered wise men. but seldom, if ever, to artists who are often looked upon as odd types. queer :guys. or just plain screwballs. When the'laughte'r had subsided, The continued, “Being both a prin- ‘cipal and an artist. I trust by the end of my remarks that I shall not have altogether disillusioned iyou about principals, even if I fail to persuade you that a gen- ruine artist is neither a misfit, a square, or a scatterbrain." - It is exceedingly fitting that I should have just returned from a Conference _on the west coast. whose theme was “Education through Art.” A great amount of time and words were used during the session to arrive at a defini- tion of the "Goals" of art teach- ing. In the discussions that took place at this national conference the words “Appreciation” “Sensi- tivity to," and "Awareness" were used over and over again. This set'me thinking. Surely the goals of art education are not different from those of other forms of edu- cation whether the student be heading for science, medicine, law, education. or business. Nat- urally the technique of the craft has to be taught . . . but a know- ledge of the mechanics of science, medicine, law, education, business or art is not in itself enough to prepare a student to make a suc- cessful contribution in any of these fields. At the Ontario College of Art a large part of our concern in the. instruction of our students is with this very point. A student who en- rolls at the College to learn to simply draw or paint, soon dis- covers that there is a lot more to it than that. He learns that what the eye first sees, are not necessarily the facts. He learns to go beyond the surface or sup- erficial impression ‘of a quick look to the inner structural sig- nificance oi the object, or objects, set before him. As part of his training through a four year his- tory course he studies the devel- opment of art, learns why things are what they are, why, and how, man shaped pots. or lettered with a goose quill pen. or favoured a certain type of architecture. Such knowledge may not lead him to the field of ceramics, typ- ography or architecture as a car- eer, but it will make him an ar- tist aware of some man’s needs, and appreciative of good design. It will stimulate within him the essental qualities necessary in any business â€" namely observation. awareness, and discrimination. An artist whose visual sense, at least, is not as keen as a razor edge. is hardly worthy of the name. He would be a dull robot, and could be exterminated with- out any serious loss to civiliza- “v‘l‘l'i‘o you the graduates of 1957, who are about to enter your _cho§‘- tlon. en fields of endeavour, be it s'cience, teaching, law, medicine or business, I suggest that these attributes so essential to the life and work of an artist are just as important to you as human be- ings. A doctor or nurse, regard- less of their technical prowess, without sensitivity to the fears, the needs and hopes of their pa- tients, would be unworthy of their professions. A teacher? with Thornhill High School is still too young to have a past but Val- edictorian Robert McGhee re- viewed episodes of its first four years, which will'some day be history, and expressed apprecia- tion to Mr. Elson, the principal and the staff. To the younger students he said, “You have ex- cellent facilities here for work and play. Make the most of them. Graduation day will come sooner than you realize, and then you will find that it has been worth all the hard work. Following the singing of the spirited school song, and ."The Queen". the guests adjourned to the school cafeteria for coffee. congratulations and a chat, later taking the opportunity to look at and admire the beautiful palnt- lngs given to the school by Mr. Haines.
