26 SAMARA During the year the boarders have diverted us, on various occasions, notably at the Hallow-E ' en Party, when the Staff also faced the limelight, and performed a musical (?) burlesque of a boarders ' outing. Our acting talent was also in evidence at the Christmas party, when each form contributed an item to the entertainment The honours of the evening were awarded to IV b. We are sorry to be losing some enthusiasts in acting, and we hope that tliose who are leaving will still keep up their active interest in dramatic art. In this way they can help forward the ideals of mutual co-operation through the drama, which is one of the chief aims of the Dominion-wide Festival recently held in Ottawa, the forerunner of annual dramatic competitions through- out Canada.

SAMARA 25 A H T s HAST June a medal for distinction in dramatics was most kindly presented for annual award, by Mr. and Mrs. Frederic Bronson. It was won by Ann Gorrell, who had given an outstanding performance as Joan of Arc, in the last act of St. Joan ' , the senior play of the year. Before commenting on the dramatic work done in the school during the past year, we should like to congratulate Miss Mac- Brien and her company most heartily on having been awarded third place in the English productions at the Finals of the Do- minion Drama Festival. They presented the concluding Act of Will Shakespeare , by Clemence Dane. Elmwood was specially interested in it, since Miss MacBrien, the producer, besides being an old Elmwoodian, is our dramatics mistress; and Miss Barrow, who played magnificently the exacting part of Queen Elizabeth, teaches us Latin. Two other Old Girls, Sylvia Smellie and Ann Gorrell, also took part, while Miss Mac Brien herself sang the lines of the cress-seller, off-stage. School dramatics this year have been followed with the usual enthusiasm, and the concrete results are being presented for our inspection at short intervals during these last weeks of term. The Senior Play The Faithful , a tragedy by John Masefield, was an impressive performance, reflecting much credit on those who attempted to interpret the pecuHar passive quality of Ja- panese dramatic art. The production is commented on else- where in this issue. The setting and costumes were especially effective. Other presentations this year include Quality Street , The Critic , scenes from Secrets , As You Like It , and— the Mikado ! The last is an undertaking which has called into play the combined talent of Miss Tipple, Miss Green and Miss MacBrien. We are most excited at the prospect of the performance, which takes place on May 23rd and promises to be enthralling to both actoi ' s and audi.nco.
