Cooke's Iorist after graduating with honors last Friday from a floral design course in Guelph. (News -Record photo) Third florist graduates Cook's Florists Shop in Clinton can now, boast of a rare achievement - they now have three qualified floral designers. The fact that they have three designers isn't very rare, but the fact that all three have received honors in the course is a rare feat. Last Friday, Steven Cooke became the third floral designer, or flower arranger, to graduate from the Flowers Canada Design School at the University of Guelph. Steven now joins his mother, Bee and employee Priscilla MacDonald in the design studio and each has graduated from the course with honors' Bee received one of the rare awards of merit in 1967 while Priscilla received the same recognition in 1968 .Steven not only was named a merit award ,winner at -the two -ween' school, but he also received the Al Smith Memorial Award forr being the third highest student among the 80 enrolled in the urse. :. r y he., 32nd annual school, held in co-operation with department of horticultural science at Guelph,. is spon- sored by the Ontario Region of Flowers Canada and there is a long waiting list for students from all .over eastern Canada wanting to get into the course. It's a tough course - no place for amateur flower arrangers or people who "just love flowers." Making flower designs is an advanced, complex skill, says Bruce Lambert chairman of the school, and students must have artistic flair and the ability to work quickly. Steven and the students spent long hours of intensive work every day attending some evening sessions, learning the , basic skills, design, color harmony and the best use of holders, rib- bons, and bows, going through 20,000 fresh flowers in the process. Steven did so well in the course, that he has been in- vited back to take phase two and three of the design ,school, which. are also dif- ficult curses.
