Settle, directed by Phyllis Perry of 3C3 The Scarecrow, directed by Marj. Mclnnis of 4A, were the plays scheduled for our first night. We enjoyed all the plays, particularly the drama- tic ability portrayed by Bill Cowdry in his role as the scarecrow. The plays of March 3rd were indeed very cleverly done: F ind Beverley Brown, directed by Joan Kevan of 3Ag Maker of Dreams, directed by Elizabeth McHattie of 3Cg The Prince Who Was a Piper, directed by Alma Grant of 4F, completed our second evening. -F We overheard Mr. Fyfe remark that the climax of 'tThe Prince Who Was a Piper, very touchingly done by Lyman Potts and Maureen MacRae, excelled even the heart-throbbing embrace of Clark Gable of the silver screen. ' April 9th concluded the various presentations of the club with The House With the Twisty Windows, directed by Edna Travis of 4Cg The Singing Soul,'l directed by Florence Powley of 3D, f'Rosalie, directed by Katherine MacKie of 3C, and When the Horns Blow, directed by Marion Westgate of 4D. Strangely enough three of these last plays were selected by the judges, Miss E. D. Cathro, Miss V. Leech and Mr. C. Chapman to contest for the cup donated by Miss V. K. MacMillan, the general director of the Dramatic Club. During the next week these three plays added a few finishing touches to their already splendid productions and on March 16th presented their masterpieces to a full house. The Singing Soul, which included: Emil Magel, Janet Robinson, Mary McKenzie, Mary McLeod, John Much, Dick Matthews and John Reynolds. The House With the Twisty Windowsll which included: Jack Boyd, Jim Duncalfe, Edna Travis, Elsie Schick, Beryl Johnson, Murray Forbes, and Fred G. Usher. When the Horns Blow, which included: Ronald Dolan, Myrtle Stevenson, Eleanor Young, Ilene Grant, Rita Kennedy and Gene Pounder, were, without a doubt, almost professional and it must have been difficult for the judges, Mr. W. T. Reid and Miss D. Sheldon-Williams, to select the winning play. However, after prolonged hesitation Mr. Reid announced that Marion Westgate, the director of t'When the Horns Blowfl should receive the cup. So ends another successful dramatic season and we sincerely hope that the clubs of the future will enjoy their dramatic activities as much as we enjoyed ours. 'Q Q l ., . Goon-BYE 76

Tl-IE ORCHESTRA The orchestra this year has shown great improvement under our new conductor, Mr. Staples. It has ably assisted with many school activities including Commencement, the Christmas Concert, the Elgar Club Operetta and the Dramatic Club plays. For the first time Cfirst-be it noted D the orchestra attended the Annual Easter Festival at Winnipeg and brought home the Western Canada High School Orchestra Cup which was formerly been held by St. J amesl Orchestra. The cup is for annual competition but we certainly hope it has found a permanent home. ' Tl-IE DRAMATIC CLUB Our little craft has kept its course, Since the day it first set sail, And we wish the new crew best of luck, That their plans will never fail. Though the seas are sometimes stormy And the skies are dull and gray, Put your faith in good old R.C.I. And the dawn of a better day. We sincerely hope that the executive and members of next season's Dramatic Club will derive as much benefit and have as much fun as the executive and members of the present season. It is our fervent hope, that each year the club will achieve higher artistic standards and accomplish greater dramatic triumphs. We know of no better way for those Who have executive or dramatic ability to develop their talents than by active member- ship in the Collegiate Dramatic Club. -IQAY RUTHERFORD, President. The Central Collegiate Dramatic Club organized earlier this year than previously with the executive honors going to Kay Rutherford, president 5 Alma Grant, vice president, Fred Cf. Usher, business manager 5 Courtney McEwen, Publicity Manager, and J oyce Thornton, secretary. The excitement, the knocking knees of our budding dramatists fthe Ethel Barrymores and the George M. Cohans of tomorrowj and the noise of crashing stage settings, as well as the very audible Whispers of the calm and collected CFD dramatic artists, which even the efforts of our obliging Central Orchestra could not subdue, all com- bined to afford very pleasant, if some- 'Q what amusing, evenings to our appre- 'LQVQQ ciative audiences. ' The audience of February 24th W1 was the first to see the attempts of the Dramatic Club: My Lady's Lace, directed by Florence Powley of 3D, ff- Elizabeth Refuses, directed by if Muriel Anderson of 4A, The Oak .- 75
