THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra had a very successful year under the able direction of Mr. Haward and Mr. Knight VVilson. Mr. Vllilsonsconducted us during the latter part of the year when Mr. Haward had to leave owing to ill health. The orchestra for the first part of the school year prac- ticed after school hours once a week, but in the second term met every second week during the club period on Vifednesday. The failure of the orchestra to appear at dramatic club programs was due to the inability of Mr. VVilson to be present. The members wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Wilson for his assistance and regret the inability of Mr. Haward to carry on as in former years. Personnel of the club this were: Clarinet, J. Newby, R. Finly, W. Dudletzg Flute: B. Dickson, Trombone: B. Hutcheson, Sax: K. Reid, Violin: E. Treen, N. Matlock, E. Alport, J. French, N. Stewart, I.. Hill, R. MacRae, I. Fan- ning, M. Foster, F. Crosson, XY. Homenuk, J. NVilliams. Piano: A. Swayze, R. Mitchell. -K. REID, 4A MR. MYATT: Why should you never go into the water after a big meal? DOT CULLUM: I dunno'. MR. MYATT: You will never find one there. Allan Thomson stepped to the tee and swung one of those carelessly careful drives. The ball sailed straight down the fairway right into the hole. Why have you suddenly gone crazy? inquired Catherine Robinson who was learning the game. Why I've made a hole in one! yelled Allie, turning a handspring. Did you? said Katie sweetly, well do it again, l didn't see you the first time. ' Then it was her turn. She hit the ball a powerful drive and it miraculously went into the hole, in one. On the next hole her drive was a little weaker but wonder of wonders it rolled in, in one again. Catherine nearly swooned. VVhat's wrong, asked Allan. Q Uh, said Katie breathlessly, I thought I was going to miss that time. 59

CURRENT HISTORY Public Speaking Club As our enthusiastic staff sponsor, Mr. Lingard, stated at our evening meeting on April 4th, History is not a dead subject but is on the contrary a very live one, and one which vitally concerns all of us. In other words History is in the making everyday and the function of the History of past events is to provide us with the proper perspective in which to view our current problems. It is on this basis that the Current History Club of 1933 was established and has flourished. Our membership of about twenty, though comparatively small has made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. The first meeting took the form of a debate on Disarmament, very ably presented. This encouraged us to take a further step in debating, so a second one was held in 4B classroom, sometime in March. Capitalism vs. Socialism, before an audience of about eighty, the affirmative, S. MacPherson and B. Dickson were successful in upholding Capitalism against G. Mann and V. Stanicky. The next meeting was taken up with discussion of this debate in Parliamentary fashion. After the encouragement received from the second debate we decided to hold an evening Meeting on April 4th, The program consisted of a debate on the Merits of Capitalism. The affirmative, B. Lederman, G. Mann and V. Stanicky were successful in convincing two of three judges, Mr. J. E. R. Do:-rsee, Mr. Haward and Mr. J. F. Bryant, that our present Capitalistic system needs drastic reform. The present cap- italism was defended by S. MacPherson, B. Dickson and G. Robertson. The rest of the program consisted of musical numbers and an interesting address by Mr. D. B. MacRae, of the Regina Leader-Post on the Imperial Conference. In February the Club was fortunate in securing Mrs. McKinnon who has lived in India to address the seniors on that subject. In all we have had an active and outstanding round of activities. VVe wish those who follow us next year the very best of success in raising the club to new heights of service and interest to the seniors of Central, and incidently we would suggest that they organize in the Fall.
