The Second Term Literary Society The second term Literary Society Executive conducted its lirst meeting on january 26, 1945. Each programme has a special theme. May we recall some of them to your memory?- Irving Berlin, Stephen Foster, St. Valentine, St. Patrick. Think back to the stories told, in their own inimitable style, by Edythe Percy, Betty Thompson, Margaret Knowles and Mar- garet Bell. Remember how we discovered the excellent Literary talent when each Form contributed a love parody on a popular song at the St. Valentine's meeting? Another afternoon was made interesting by Mrs. Calvert's illustrated lecture on Glimpses of Nature through the Eye of the Camera. Our Hnal programme of Truth or Consequence displayed the talent of both the students and members of the staft. This amusing entertainment was conducted by Betty Thompson. When the world was saddened on April 12, by the passing of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a memorial was arranged by Form III, under the direction of Mabel Morgan. Throughout the year we have been very grateful to Muriel Rogers for her kind co- operation as pianist. Although this is not a complete record of this term's programmes, we hope that it will serve as a reminder of the pleasant hours spent in Literary Society meetings on Friday after- noons.

faciai Heart Hop Hearts were certainly hopping on the evening of Thursday, February 15, when the Literary Society sponsored a Valentine Dance. Adding to the festivity of the evening were the critic teachers, portraying their second childhood at games in the Library. Vllhile these events were in progress boys and girls with one accord flocked to the brightly camouflaged Music Room where dancing was in progress. Although the ladies were in the majority, the gentlemen had a wonderful time doing the rounds. Following all these strenuous activities a sumptuous and plentiful supper was served by smiling waitresses. Miss Facey and her entire committee gave us all a splendid party and an enjoyable evening. MARGARET BELL. Yet To Come We have had a few entertainments through the year, but the best one is yet to come. A Maytime banquet will beheld on May 7. At this will be revealed the winner of the election for May Queen. After the banquet, there will be a dance, at which we all expect to have a wonder- ful time. But why do we have this banquet near the end of the term, you ask? The answer is thisfto supply us with enough morale to write our examinations. The days of testing will be from May 28 to june 1. Then! Hurray! Here come the full-fledged teachers' DOROTHY E. CHANDLER. Ha1lowe'en - Hallowe'en Season found the students of L. N. S. scurrying about in great activity. Our first big social event was to take place. The Glee Club was to present an operetta, so the Student Parliament followed it with a Hallowe'en Party. The music room was appropriately decorated and everyone was in festive spirit. Dancing for the evening was held in the music room, while games were played in the library. Margaret Bell, President of the Student Parlia- ment, seemed to remember every detail necessary for the success of a party. The active service boys who attended, echoed the feeling of the students-never had they spent such an enjoyable evening. ETHELWYN DANIEL.
