The place is Balfour Tech., the books a-e the 4,000 and more that line the walls in the glorious court, library to you, where hourly —from 8.30 to 5.00 p.m. to be exact—the students browse around. A part of this time is given to library classes, each class having one period a week, and the remainder of the time is set aside for reference reading and research. An ever-smiling Mrs. Hyland weighs our counsels when the going gets tough, and gives with that extra little informa¬ tion needed to complete a school project or stiff assignment. A column in the Balforum and a bulletin board in the library bring new books to the attention of the students. And here in this sunny, quiet room, where bright red geraniums stand like sentinels on the window sills, the Balfour students “treat books as some do lords; they inform themselves of their titles, and then boast of an intimate acquaintance-” THE EXECUTIVE: President: Jean de Witt. Secretary: Doreen Catton. Staff Advisors: Miss C. O’Connor. Mr. W. L. Darnell. Mr. C. F. McDonald. Mr. R. E. P. Spicer. Something new in the way of fine entertainment, was Tech’s Drama Night. Three plays were presented: FIRST DATE, WAYSIDE WAR, and A QUES¬ TION OF FIGURES. The Glee Club contributed some lovely musical numbers. All in all, it was an evening of perfect entertainment.

Also, Miss O’Connor’s play, “Wayside War”, entered into the Saskatchewan Drama Festival on February 20th and 21st. This play received special com¬ mendation, and Sheila Murphy as “Alicia Pemberton”, won the Best Actress Award, chosen from the plays of these two nights, which included Regina and district. Combining these two main events, the Drama Club has had a very successful year, and we will be looking forward to productions like this again next year. Glui nesday afternoon. The friendly class procedure of these meetings fosters interest in this reputedly “dull subject” and thus each student tackles his exercises with diligence. Such voluntary application in order to secure the widest possible education to fit them to meet the problems of life ought surely to ment success for these students. The members hope for a happy future for the Club and that others with as much enthusiasm will succeed them. Maintenance I. J. Harris P. Jasper G. Pollock O. Skundberg Missing T. Bell, J.
