Original Toronto Star caption: Fired for her art: Mary Shaver, a part-time art teacher at St. Luke Separate School, was told her contract would not be renewed. Miss Shaver, a nun at Mount St. Joseph Convent in London, Ont. from 1958 to 1968, holds the invitations that the school board said was a display of erotic composition and collage. Because she was on probation, the board did not have to give reasons for dismissal.
