Inscription: Clark Hall studio space. In 1907, under the leadership of Henrietta Hancock, more than 30 women met as The Brandon Art Club in this room in the Clark Hall tower. Known as the 'Art Studio,' this space was once the center of all Fine Art programs at Brandon College. This print is of an original Henrietta Hancock painting presented to Daniel and Mabel Lamont on the occasion of their wedding in 1909. The print was donated to Brandon University by Helen and Gwen Lamont in 1997. Brandon University; Alumni Association.
Fred McGuinness is popularly known for his work as the prairie essayist for CBC Radio’s Morningside with Peter Gzowski, a position he held for 17 years. Many of McGuinness’ Morningside essays were autobiographical in nature. He often reported about life on Christmas Tree Farm, a section of land where he and his wife, Christine, built their dream home in the late 1970s. The couple planted a Christmas tree farm on the property and Christine maintained an extensive kitchen garden, while Fred tended honey bees. Life on the farm made its way into radiobroadcasts, Neighborly News columns, and the book "Letters from Section 17: A Collection of Morningside Essays" (Winnipeg: Great Plains Publishing, 1999).
