FINE ARTS EXHIBITION

(THE ANNUAL HELEN PITT
GRADUATE AWARDS EXHIBITION)

The Annual Helen Pitt Graduate Awards
Exhibition was held recently at the
Robson Square Media Centre, Vancouver.
This exhibition was conceived in 1978
by the Vancouver Foundation and estab-
lished with funds left in trust by

» Helen Pitt.

Helen Pitt was born in Hartford, Con-
necticut. In later years, after trav-
elling and living in England and India,
she retired to Vancouver and Vernon
where she died in 1976.

In 1961 her donation of $10,000 estab-
lished the fund which, administered by
the Vancouver Foundation, has now grown
to over $400,000. Half of the interest
provides bursaries for deserving art
school students, and the other half fi-
nanaces the Annual Helen Pitt Graduate
Awards Exhibition which is now in it's
fifth year.

The distribution of the awards is made
at the discretion of the juror; none
may be over $5,000.

 

From works submitted by 121 applicants,
7 contibutors were selected for awards,
and 37 pieces were chosen for the ex-
hibition.

Of the twenty nine finalists, two were
ex-students from Kwantlen/Douglas Col-
lege, and of the seven awards, six were
divided between U.Vic., and Emily Carr
with the lone U.B.C. award going to
Virginia Stirling.

Virginia is an ex-Fine Arts Student of
Kwantlen/Douglas College, and she was
the recipient of one of the top cash
awards of $1,600.00, for her entry in
the exhibition, entitled "Mother and
Daughter", 1982, acrylic on canvas.

Margaret Koole, who was one of the
twenty nine finalists, and who attends
U.B.C. is also an ex-Fine Arts Student
of Kwantlen/Douglas.

 

TYPES OF SEIZURES AND
FIRST-AID TREATMENT

Forms of epilepsy are usually identified
by the manifestations that occur during
the attacks. A grand mal seizure is a
"generalized" convulsion which may last
a minute or more and can occur daily,
weekly, monthly, or annually. The per-
son loses consciousness and usually
falls to the ground.

For first-aid, establish the followi
procedure:

1. Do not try to restrain the person or
force anything between the teeth.

2. Clear the surrounding area to prevent
injury.
3. Turn the body and head to one side to

allow unobstructed breathing and easy
saliva flow.

4. Let the seizure run its course. Do
not try to revive the person.

5. Let the person rest when he/she re-
covers consciousness.
