I181 THE ASHBURIAN the platoon in mock attack, with the first aid corps, the signallers and the attackers giving a fine display of their skill in war tactics. Juniors Take Part A squad of juniors, not to be outshone by their seniors, marched around the field, some of them shouldering rifles. The younger of these had had no train- ing from a master but were drilled by the boys in the cadet corps. The quality was excellent, and shows keenness, enthusiasm, and esprit de corps, said Col. Grier in the short address which he gave at the close of the review. Col. Grier said that he had gone expecting to see something rather good, and he was not disappointed. He congratulated Cadet Captain Ian Cole, company commander, on the standard of proficiency displayed by the Cadets. This is the unit among hundreds, a hundred boys among thousands, this is a very good example of what is being done in Canada from coast to coast. Cups Presented Cadet Lieut. Ronald Heaven was presented with the cup for the best platoon by Col. Grier, who also presented the shooting prizes. The Willis O'Connor Cup for the senior boy with the best shooting score was won by David Hooper, the Scott Cup for boys of I5 and I6 was given to Lewin Chapman, the Cox Trophy for boys under I5 went to David Fair, and the Humphery Cup for juniors was won by Timmy Kenny. The cadets were trained by Captain R. F. Travers and the junior squad was under the direction of Mr. A. I3. I3eIcher. Officers of the company were, Ian Cole, cadet captain, R. Heaven, E. Pilgrim and R. Renaud, platoon commanders, H. I3uIpit, adjutant, A. P. Lee, company sergt. major, I3. Harben, P. Harben and K. Abbott-Smith, platoon sergts., lvl. Barnes, quartermaster sergt., R. G. R. Lawrence, first aid lieut., and H. Bulpit, R. l3outin and P. Richardson made up the color party. lg-Q-g SHOOTING HERE was much more shooting than last year, it being part of the Defence and Cadet course for all members of the Corps. Some very good scores were turned in at times, and there should be more next year. Abbott- Smith and Chapman were very helpful and efficient in organizing and helping to supervise the shooting. The results of the competitions were as follows: WILLIS O'CONNO'R CUP lOpen to all Seniorsl f Hooper I 2. Cole 3, Bulpit SCOTT CUP ll3oys between I5 and I6I '. Chapman 2. Nash I 3.

Stoge ond property monoger, R, I-leoven, ossistont stoge monoger, P. I-lotch. Produced by N. M. Archdole. N the night of Fridoy, Morch 26, the school ploys were presented in the Technicol School Auditorium. The evening wos groced by the presence of the Governor Generol ond Princess Alice, who ofterwords went bock- stoge to greet those who hod contributed to the success of the evening. Three ploys were presented, the first being The Fontostic Flight by Sidney Box. This is o one oct ploy bosed on the now fomous Resolution of the Oxford Union not to fight in the event of wor. The leoding port ithot of Nooh Boomeri wos ployed by Richord Soblin. I-Iis octing wos very noturol ond good, but I om sorry to soy thot for mony minutes neither he nor the mojority of the members of the cost could not be heord in mony ports of the theotre. It is of course o consideroble disodvontcige to the ocoustics to hove o number of cur- tciins os o bockdrop instecid of o stoge set: they obsorb o Iot of sound woves: ond the well pocked oudience obsorbed the rest before they hod time to floot out beyond the first few rows. I-Iowever the entronce of I-Ieotherfield iPeter Crumpl improved this situo- tion os he wos cleorly oudible, ond motters tended to improve os the ploy went on. There is o chorus of running commentory provided by two newspoper men who ore ploced with their telephones on either side of the proscenium orch. They iI3orney Lowrence ond I-Icirold Pricel hod o pretty eosy job to do but they were not very convincing. I om not quite decided however thot the foult wos theirs. I think their port wos rother flot. Indeed the Fontostic Flight is o poor ploy ond its plot hos few of the ottroctive ciuolities thot fontosy con bring with it. Freddy Mocloren os the Big Mon's secretory wos odmiroble, ond the two women's ports token by Dovid Motthews ond Tony I-Iurtley were opporently well ployed but olosl inoudible to our section of the theotre. Both the girls looked very winsome. V I-Iowever for sheer feminine chorm Pussy Northcott with dimple slightly owry would hove been hord to beot, os she woited for the crusoder's return in the next section of the ploy. The three selec-tions from lO66 And All Thot coused greot omusement. I The Crusoders is olwoys good for o lough ond we hod plenty. I wos sorry thot Lorne Eliot os the Troubodour spoke his two songs ond I thought thot Andrew Murdoch os the Keeper of the Drowbridge, hoving disoppointed me by being in his blue suit, wos olso too much of o honds-in-pocket sloucher. But the others were good ond porticulorly Arthur Woodword os Constonce should not go unmentioned. - In the two other scenes, King John ond the Police Court, we hod mony more Ioughs. In the former the squeezing out of the Common Mon is very
