Up-and-Coming Artist
Central Tech, the largest school of its kind in Canada and
ahra mater of a great many; JCs, presented its amiual exhibition
la^'weekend. Shirley /Sagara was one of four top art students
singled out for little one-man exhibitions. Along with the artist’s
work was a pic of the mischievous-looking girl and a brief history
which ran: “Shirley Sagara. Comes from Vancouver, First mural
in her bedroom at age five. Decided on professional career at twelve.
On graduation from London High School she came to Tech in 1953.
Most interested in Illustration, Fashion and Design. She designs
and makes her. own clothes. Student art editor "Vulcan” 1956.
Scholarship and Bursary 1953-54.” In her column Art and Artists,
Globe and Mail critic Pearl McCarthy stated “Miss Sagara gives
further exasperating reason for. envying the Japanese race its light
grace, which Westerners can hardly attain.”
Mentioned in the same column, was seasoned artist Kazuo Na­
kamura, member of Painters Eleven, .who has been noted in a
number of exhibitions lately. His next showing will be in New
York’s Riverside Museum at the.. 20th. anniversary show of the
American Abstract Artists.

In the News
This week’s Star Weekly rotogravure section carries the Tor­
onto Nisei beauties who competed in the recent TY^BS Miss Valen­
tine contest. We hear that a representative of the Models Guild
of Canada is seeking, the services of some of these girls. . . .
There’s an interesting story in this week’s Life about a young
Chinese couple who have been kept apart by complicated immigra­
tion laws for seven years. He’s in the States and can’t get back to
China; she’s in Montreal and must leave by the end of next month.
From the Kamloops Daily Sentinel, we hear that Mr. and Mrs.
Ryoichi Kihara became the proud parents of a Leap Year baby, one
of five girls born on-Feb. 29 at Royal Inland Hospital. Back in
Toronto, VON Kay Kaita was mentioned on the. radio as being one
of the nurses welcoming a Leap Year babe. Sez she: “We Avere
hurrying so that it could be the first one.”
In The Grand Forks Gazette, Mrs. Oyama and her daughter
were shown as the latter unconcernedly received a vaccination shot.
Phyllis Morita was seen in the Tor-Star advertising the Upper
Canada Bible society’s rally slated for last Tuesday. Topic for the
evening was the human interest story of Dr. Takuo Matsumoto of
Hiroshima who directed the rebuilding- program of schools and
churches in Japan.

Nisei chapter will meet at 1 p.m.
