Sylvan Kluski, aged 17, a junior student at St. Martin's School of Art, has had the unique honour of having two pictures accepted for this year's Academy.
A surprise decision is tho ro- jeation of a large canvas, "Vir- ginal," by Mrs. Dod Proctor, whose picture "Morning" caused a sensa tion in 1927.
