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

After an intensive recruiting campaign about 14 members were obtained. In a whirlwind election the executive, with Fred McQueen as president, Art Rayner as vice-president, Betty Williams as secretary and Don Hullock as treasurer, was chosen. Mr. Johnston was our able staff advisor and counsellor. The members met every Wednesday to thresh out the problems discussed the previous night on Radio Forum. Doug Martin provided the humor by cutting in with acid remarks about Pat Cooney's nationality, while Pat retaliated with dire threats against Doug's welfare. Fred McQueen was always in complete agreement with the secre- tary's views, probably for a very good reason. The two main events of the year were the weiner roast and a radio broadcast over CHAT on the subject, Is Germany Still a World Menace ? On the whole, the Forum Club enjoyed a very successful year due to the enthusiasm of the members and the splendid support of Mr. Johnston. 46
