Yes, that is what you will hear from Mr. Vallis every Monday and Friday noon if you happen to be near Room 25. Through the incessant din comes the faint sound of Sibyl Louise pounding on the piano. During the year the choir has been heard over CHAT, at the Kiwanis Club, and has also presented two Well received concerts. Numbers varying from the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah, to the semi-popular Deep in My Heart were included. 44

Besides our three-act Rebecca, which was declared a success, the Drama Club presented a radio play, Why I Am a Bachelor, over CHAT. The Drama Club has been functioning only as an executive with Elaine McNichol as president, Lois Mahon, secretary and Elizabeth Gibbs, treasurer. Because of the difficulty of securing programs regular meetings had to be discontinuedg perhaps next year we have them once again. This year the Festival promises to be better than ever with seven plays entered. The Festival brings this year's dramatics to a close, but you can be looking forward to more and better dramatics next year. nificently. They included Ron Miller, Dick Stephens, Budd Whit- icar, Don Elder and Ewart Kinvig. It is hoped that in the future more fine dramas such as this will be produced by Mr. Allergoth at the high school to bring out the drama students' talents. The school orchestra played between acts. 43
