SAMARA 13 the chief reasons for including study of the dramatic art as part of the school curriculum have been fully realized by the class. Another thing that might be added was the splendid stage sense of the cast and the delightful ease of movement of the players. Some Minor Faults True, there were some faults which might have been avoided but these, all things con- sidered, were minor ones. One might say that there might have been more agreement over the pronunciation of the Hebrew name for the Deity, that beards and hair did not always match and that an Airedale, which, by the way, played his part like a veteran actor, seemed rather English for ancient Nineveh. There were also a few errors in lighting. Ruth Osier, as the loquacious old Jew, Tobit, who saw good in everything and everybody to his own loss in worldly things, carried off a difficult and lengthy role with ease and finish. She gave a really outstanding performance bringing out the humor and drama of the part with commendable skill. Paula Peters gave the right ethereal touch to the character of the archangel Raphael and played it with a dignity which was at the same time not without its lighter moments. Tobias was played with delightful freshness and life by Janet Edwards and the quick changes in moods inspired by the archangel were excellently done. The part of the more practical Anna, Tobit ' s wife, was in the hands of Margaret Hardy and she too gave a highly praiseworthy interpretation of the role. Lois Davidson, as Sara, daughter of Raguel and bride of Tobias, gave a very pleasing performance. Her scene with Raphael was especially good. Elizabeth Wyatt, as Sherah, sang sweetly in the second act. Her song, by the way, was the composition of Myron McTavish, well known Ottawa or- ganist and musician. Betty Caldwell was all that could be desired as Raguel and Janet Caldwell made the part of Azorah, a dancing girl, stand out. Betsy Allen was a bandit, Joan Paterson and Elizabeth Paish, slaves, and Pauline Coulson a very black Nubian slave. The play was under the direction of Miss Miriam Graham, whose abihties in this direc- tion are widely recognized. The scenery was by the senior art class under the direction of Miss H. Mabel May.-M. AT THE GALLERY ' ' What is that? Could it be a hat? ' ' Are you certain Ifs not a curtain. Perhaps by chance A pair of pants, Or by mistake A piece of cake? Look again. ' ' ' Is it a cane? Or are you sure Ifs not a fleure? In any case It ' s not a face I think ril look! Ifs not a book. Not a girl There isn ' t a curl. What a mess! You guess. Patsy Drake, VI M Keller MY PRAYER O Lord ive thank Thee for the poetry of 7J70tion, Of child dancing and yacht with spread sail, For service and friends that never fail. For music that lifts our hearts to Thee, For the beauty of Nature ' in the maple tree. Above all ive thank Thee for Thy most perfect gift Of Jesus Christ our Lord Who came to lift Mankind from darkness into light. Amen. Ann Protheroe, V C Keller

14 SAMARA ART NOTES, 1943-44 THE enthusiastic members of the Special Art Class have spent a very pleasant and constructive year. During the first term we devoted most of our time to figure work and quick sketching in charcoal and paint. In addition to the Special Art Class, Third Form and Four C were interested in making masks of papier- mache. After Christmas we entered upon an entirely new phase and undertook the painting of murals on the walls of the art room. Heather Cumyn and Sally McCarter are entitled to our thanks for their fine contribution to this pro- ject. During the year we have spent a good deal of our time in painting compositions, as well as posters for the various school activities and the scenery for the Senior Play. A pleasant atmosphere was created by Miss May ' s Interior Decorating Class, when they redecorated with great success the Art Room and the Boarders ' Lounge. We have greatly profited under Miss May ' s untiring guidance, and we wish to thank her for a highly enjoyable year. P. McL. FOR ABSENT FRIENDS Oh, Father of us all, bring back, we pray Thee, our loved ones who are far away over the sea. While they are away, keep them from harm and give them courage to fight the enemy bravely and without fear. Give our nurses who are tending the wounded and dying the spirit to carry on with their work that Thou hast set them to do. Above all do not forget the ones who have given their lives to save their country. We ask this in the name of Thy beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. PipPA OsLER, aged 12. MUSIC We praise Thee, O God, for the gift of song that lifts the wearied heart, for the music that so othes our care and banishes our earthliness. Help us to hear always brave music and noble song, that our lives may be set to a melody of love and hope, and at the end, grant us to catch the notes of that song no man can reveal, the song of saints around Thy throne, who have followed Thy music in their lives. Gretchen Mathers, V B Fry
