THE OAKWOOD ORACLE Zllfbe Jiluthrr anti Eaugbtsr Banquet 1 Perhaps the banquet is the most is to her that we really owe the interesting of all the Girls' Club meetings, for we have the honour of entertaining our mothers, and showing our appreciation of them. On January 222, at 6 o'clock, if you had looked into the school library you would have seen many happy mothers, and smiling daugh- ters gathered there. All were waiting for the two pages to blow their bugles that would tell them supper was ready. Upon entering the cafeteria, and looking at the tables, you thought you were look- ing at a flower garden. At every place were small flower pots of mauve and rose liyacinths, which had candy hidden in them. Dainty hand-painted menus, fthe handi- work of the girlsl were at every other place, and a hot supper awaited all. When supper was over the toasts were proposed. Margaret Cork, our president, was toastmistress. She first proposed a toast to the King. which all responded to by singing God Save the King. Kay Bredin, an ex-Oakwoodite, gave the toast to the school. Mr. Gray replied to it. Jean Robertson, pre- sident of the club 1926-7, proposed the toast to the club to which Mr. Hanna responded. The last toast, which was to our mothers. was in- troduced bv Elizabeth Gillespie. and replied to by Mrs. Don Carlos. Margaret Cork was presented ufitli a bouquet of flowers, for it success of the club. Everyone then went down to the Assembly Hall, where a most in- teresting program was presented. Grace Cowan, last year's president, led a jolly sing-song, and then the Senior Dramatic Group presented two charming plays, Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil, and Christmas Eve. The first play was a fanciful tale of olden days, when queens were beheaded for Hstepping on the ring-toe of king's great aunts. Those who took part in it were Betty Rose, Isabel Cha- quette, Margaret Howden, Billy Ennis, Rhona Yorke, Mabel Hack, Marjory Jones, Helen Day and Geraldine Child. The second play was the representation of a poor Irish family on Christmas Eve, with the father in America. The cast consisted of Dorothy Hewitt, Helen Dingle, Louise Cheshire, Mary Meen, Isabel Archibald and Elizabeth Gillespie. Mary Meen, the leader of the group, and Miss Boyle, who directed the plays, de- serve much credit for their great success, and the girls of the group showed their appreciation by a pre- sentation to each. Between the plays Mary Ospray rendered a beautiful solo. Will Miss Boyle, the girls taking part in the plays, and the girls who helped to prepare for the banquet. please accept our sincere thanks.
