TI-IE CI-IRISTIVIAS CONCERT The Christmas Concert this year was attended by even more than the usual success and quality of numbers found in preceding concerts sponsored by Central. The programme was divided into two sections, Toyland and Follies of 1933 . Toyland,' contained several delightful dance numbers and antics by girls' and boys' gym classes. It ended with a successful rendering of Brahm's Lullaby. The f'Follies of 1933, with J. Lyman Potts and Lorne Church as Masters of Ceremonies was an interesting medley of skits, dances and choruses. The Magazine Rack and The Merry Widow Waltz were greatly applauded. The famous Freshman Quartette also made its first appearance. After three great nights the curtain dropped on the event of the year which netted an appreciable proht. This was divided between school activities and the Cheer Fund. CURRENT I-IISTORYand PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB The Current History and Public Speaking Club organized shortly after Christmas for the purpose of discussing important events of the day, and presenting them in the manner of public speeches. The club, under the capable direction of Mr. J. E. R. Doxsee, elected the following students to the executive: President, G. Mann, Vice President, Craig Munroeg Secretary, Fredina Brown. Among the wide variety of subjects discussed, The National Recovery Act, l' and f'The Wheat Agreement, as Affecting Canada, were among the most important. These two topics were outlined and delivered in an exceedingly excellent manner. The club completed its activities the second week in March, having obtained a wealth of up-to-date and important knowledge of world events. We cannot stress too much the importance of such an organization as this as there can be little doubt, if we are going to find a way out of our present predicament, that we must have a thorough understanding of the problems that face us today. CRATCRY - f Central's orators rather fell down this year- Q we're slipping! No entries were made in the I.O.D.E.

COMMEINICEMENT Central's Twenty-fifth Annual Commencement was held on Friday, October 27th, in the Auditorium of the Normal School. With Mr. Henry Black in the chair, the event proceeded in its usual bright manner. The guest of the evening, the Hon. M. A. MacPherson, gave an address, and at the conclusion presented the Governor General's medal, the University of Saskatchewan Scholarship, and Chief Justice Brown's medals for Junior and Senior Matriculation. Edward Britten, winner of the Governor General's medal, then gave the Valedictory address. Ed was well known in schol- astic circles and his address proved most interesting to his fellow students. A Medals and Scholarships were presented by: Mr. A. Macbeth, Dr. Hugh McLean, Mr. D. F. Bond, Mr. Kenneth Blair, and our own Messrs. Scrimgeour and Campbell. Entertainment was provided by the Orchestra and Elgar Club under Mr. Staples, pyramid building by the Boyls Gym Club, and dance numbers directed by Miss Tingley. Others assisting in the evenings entertainment were: Jean McKenzie, Ed Stock, Ross McRae and Lionel Allen. BOYS' GYMNASIUM CLUB The club had a very successful season with Ken Goldie as president and A. Hemstreet, A. Ziffie and G. Page on the program- me committee. Les Waller greatly assisted the tumblers and although it takes seine time to produce finished tumblers and gymnasts, yet the boys learned the fundamentals. They put on a demonstra- tion at both Commencement and the Christmas Concert. TI-IE ELECTRICAL CLUB The Electrical Club, under Mr. Clarkis able leadership, com- menced its activities early in January. At the first meeting the oiiicers were elected, these being: Murray Auld, president, Roy Bing, secretary, and Doug MacNaughton. During the course of the Clubis existence several papers were given by members and also some practical demonstrations of electrical equipment. . S7 Z One Saturday morning the members as- sembled at the school to be conveyed to the Power House where they made an interesting ' X inspection of the plant. Owing to the short f .1111 time allowed for meetings several excursions to f ..r. A - various electrical concerns had to be cancelled. 67 X ff X ! 5 f - f' xi , Y W nf-ti y, LJ.-ifN 4-.--1...,, ,.i.-,- - , .- v

TI-IE PERROQUET This year, The Perroquetf' successor to 'tThe Echo, has amazed its patrons by the clarity of its type and promising bril- liance of its articles. The Students' Council was the first to say, let's have a paper, and an editorial staff, with Isabel Hutcheson as editor-in-chief, was chosen and soon had the first edition ready for press. Meanwhile, Irwin Bean was being schooled in the Mysteries of Gestetner. By the time the paper was printed the business staff was ready to carry The Perroquetw to the four cor- ners of the school. T The Perroquetw is a great improvement on any previous paper in the school. There have been twelve editions with a monster copy at Christmas. It was noticed, however, that a greater interest could have been shown by the student body as far as contributions were concerned. There were a few exceptions noticeable during the year, chiefly in the literary line. Next year, with editor, business staff and printers trained and ready, it is to be hoped the paper will exceed all others. The staff under Isabel Hutcheson included: Assistant-George Thomson Business Manager: Bob Orr Literary-Asher Hayworth Harry Green Courtney McEwen Circulation-Lorne Wickerson Sports-Kay Rutherford Treasurer-:Muriel Anderson Jim Crass Jack Newby Features-Murray Forbes Printing-Irwin Bean Artists-Manuel Rubenstein Aubrey Edwards Vasile Marchuk Roy Bing Advisor-Mr. R. W. W. Robert- Advisors-Mr. D. S. McMurchy son. Mr. McKenzie Mr. Clark Tl-IE GLEE CLUB One of the newest innovations during the past year was the formation of a Boys' Glee Club. Though lacking in experience the ability shown by the members shows that next year's club will be a credit to the Collegiate. An organization of this sort has been lacking for several years and the club is hoping that next year boys, who are inter- ested, have good voices, and an appreciation of music, will join. We have also been lacking in a cheer- ing section and think that the two Q, 'I :M f 9 might be amalgamated. Mr. Griffin Q15-l glggj 'i' FT' and Mr. Scrimgeour at least are , yn jx., determined to put this club over. X jx ' ,f Vg Through this medium, we might - X X also take the opportunity of thank- 1 ff-Q ing Mr. McE,achern and Mr. W. 'ii X Haward for their splendid assistance. ' 69
