School's Art Exhibition

Three hundred exhibits, made or painted by pupils of secondary schools from all over the South Island, were displayed at the art show sponsored by the "Christchurch Star" in the Suter Art Gallery last month. Many of the paintings were by pupils of the Nelson boys' and girls' colleges and Waimea Intermediate School.
