Keith Lynn School

AT FIRST glance, few
people would recognize that
this is a school, or that it is
Keith Lynn Alternative
Secondary School (KLASS)
in North Vancouver.

It is off Keith Road, at the end
of a no-exit road on Shavington,
and is therefore not visible from
the main road.

When it first opened in 1914 it
was a one-room schvol house.

Additions were made to it in
1919, and again in 1925, that have
resulted in the present structure.

To the right of the building in
the illustration above is a long,
jow structure of classrooms, and
at the top of that is the gymm-
nasium.

In 1974, KLASS began offering
an educational alternative for stu-
dents on the North Shore.

As a junior high school it offers
credit to students through to
completion of Grade 10, and
allows graduates access to senior
high school.

Students who attend KLASS
have for one reason or another
found it difficult to cope in the.
regular high school setting.

Here they are able to work at

NORTH SHORE
HERITAGE

their own rate in small classes.
Teachers, therefore, have time to
give them more individualized at-
tention.

As well as academic courses,

cooking and a popular art pro-.

gram, there are recreational activi-
ties and field tips for students at
KLASS. Day and overnight field

trips are an important part of the
learning experience offered here.
These excursions help develop
social skills, and provide personal
challenges and group cohesiveness.
Adolescence is a difficult time
for many young people, and
alternative schocls like Keith Lynn
help to keep kids in school, and
assist them in making the transi-
tion into responsible adulthood.

Glass sculpture on display

FORMER NORTH Shore resident
Graham Scott’s innovative glass
sculpture, and the work of four
other B.C. artists, will be on
display at Art Works Gallery from
May 25-June 22 as part of the
Glass Art Association of Canada’s
conference °92.

Scott expresses his work in a
minimal form. He plays with light
and color to evoke multi-levels of
meaning.

In a recent interview, he said his
propensity for combining
manufactured materials with

found natura! objects is a direct
result of growing up on the North
Shore.

‘3 grew up on both sides of the
Capilano River. As a kid I'd play
in the forest and look down on
Vancouver. The duality of the
natural landscape and the city is
very much expressed in my
work.””

Nineteen Vancouver galleries
are taking part in Glass Con-
ference *92, which will be centred
in and around Granville Island.

Airline service improving
between Canada and Spain

AIR CANADA and _sIberia
Airlines of Spain have con-
chided a commercial and mar-
keting agreement to enhance
regular scheduled services be-
tween Canada and Spain,
beginning June 2, 1592.

The partnership permits Air
Canada to sell business and
economy class seats aboard
flights operated between the
two countries by Spain’s na-
tional carrier.

It also offers travellers
through-fares to domestic
points of interest beyond
Madrid, such as Barcelona,
Seville, Palma de Majorca, the
Canary Islands, Valencia,
Bilbao and Malaga.

“This announcement comes
at a very opportune time, with
Spain’s economy experiencing

one of the fastest growth rates
in the EEC and tourism from
North America on the rise,’’
said Ross MacCormack, Air
Canada.

“We are excited at the pro-
spect of welcoming more Ca-
nadians to our country for
such fabulous events as the
recently-inaugurated world’s
fair in Seville and the upcom-
ing summer Olympics in
Barcelona,’ added Wim Bless,
general manager, Iberia
Airlines of Spain.

During the peak summer
period, Iberia will operate three
Toronto-Montreal-Madrid
flights a week, on Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Sundays
throughout June and on Wed-
nesdays, Fridays and Sundays
from July 1 until Sept. 26.
