UBC’s ARTS
MEDAL WINNER
DROPPED OUT

OF HIGH SCHOOL

Another of UBC’s leading
prize-winners this year is a
student who failed to graduate
from high school.

Linda Clark, 27, of 2335 Col-
lingwood is the first fine arts
student at UBC to win the
University Medal for Arts and
Science for top marks in the
arts faculty.

Mrs. Clark, whose husband
John is working on a PhD in
philosophy at UBC, says she
dropped out of her Grade 11
class in Hamilton, Ont., about
10 years ago because she was
“bored and unhappy.”

After a succession of jobs
ranging from waitress work to
“travelling around, painting
from town to towm,” she en-
tered Vancouver City College
for the equivalent of a first
university year, and then
transferred to-UBC.

This time, she‘plans to stay
in school indefinitely — first
as a student, and later as a
teacher in fine arts.

“I’m goimg into graduate
studies now, and with any
luck at all } hope to get my
PhD." d

She has won a $2,000 univer-
sity fellowship for studies at
UBC next fall.

Although she’s been
painting for more than 10
years — with encouragement
from her father, a commer-
cial artist in Hamilton — Mrs.
Clark says she’s concentrating

more on the academic side of °

fine arts.
_ “But I hope that next year I
can take the whole summer

off to paint in Europe,” she
adds.
