THE DRAMA CLUB The Drama Club began its i953-T954 activities with a meeting in October to elect the new executive. They turned out to be Don Stockley, President, Diane Winter, Secretary, and Marg Hansford, Treasurer. The play chosen by Mr. Stoddart for presentation by the Drama Club was Robertson Davies' Voice of the People . lt had a very successful run for three nights at Etobicoke Collegiate's annual Variety Night, and later placed second in Simpson 's Collegiate Drama Festival . The Dramatic Club is growing in popularity and prest- ige, and would seem to have a very promising futurep if the record of this year is to be any criterion . Af' 4- Back: J. Suessmuth,B . Bell ,B .

THE CAMERA Organized in the autumn of l952, Etobicoke's Camera Club has come a long way. Members have taken pict- ures at all the football games, at basketball games, at Track and Field meets, at Initiation, at Commencement, at Variety Night, and at all the dances held by and in the school. Then the club has developed, enlarged, and printed the pictures, which were then sold. Members attended meetings of the Toronto Federation of High School Camera Clubs, and held cz snapshot contest within the school . They then entered the con- 26 test held by the Toronto Federation of Camera Clubs, and enlarged class pictures using the Etobian's new enlarger. Altogether, the Camera Club has made a lasting and effective pictorial record of T953-54 life at Etobi- coke Collegiate in all of its phases. This year's executive is as follows: Gary Vivian, President, Rick Schaeff, Vice-President, Julie Severn, Secretary, John Curliss, Treasurer, Miss Porter, Staff Advisor.

ftp I1, E! ' Ki THE BAND This year we made our first appearance at Commence- ment. In January, we were asked to play at the Town- ship Inauguration Ceremonies, held in Royal York Secondary School. It marked a milestone in the band's progress-the first time we had performed outside E.C. I. At the Kiwanis Festival in February, we played the American Folk Rhapsody, and in Variety Night, the band added to its reputation by giving an outstanding performance. The credit, however, is due to our con- ductor, Mr. Nix, under whose direction the band has made such great progress . 1 C, f fl . ir' ' J ' Q ,lm ,. THE ORCHESTRA E.C . l. 's minature orchestra is one of the newest organizations in the collegiate. lt was brought into existence through the combined efforts of Mr. Nix and its conductor, Mr. Strathdee. At the present time, it is composed of violins, violas, 'cellos, a bass, a trombone, and a tuba, twenty-five instruments in all. It is certainly not a very large group, but remember, it is much less than a year old . In spite of the orchestra's small size, arrangements were made for its participation in this year's Variety Night. if .V 4 'ff Jar' j itil- zfyfi. HY 13. - 25

THE SCIENCE CLUB Back: E. Istvan,B. Lindsay,A. Predko,A. Baxter,T. Luck- ing,R. Morrison,M. Wamer,M. Clapperton ,J . Domine Mr. Eubank. Front: J . Booker,B. Harvvood,D . Gregory, J. Ellis, G. Mills. The Science Club got off to a good start this year. Early in October the following executive was elected: Gordon Mills, president, John Ellis, vice-president, Bob Harwood, secretary, David Gregory, treasurer. We immediately plunged into the year's activities with lectures on luminescence, by Ed lstvan and Mike Clapp- erton, and x-rays, by Mr. Eubank. Malcolm Warner demonstrated the properties of Liquid Nitrogen and Al Predko demonstrated his radio, one he built himself, and told us what made radio tick. Two trips were under- taken in the fall term, one to the Maple Leaf Milling Company and the second to the Anaconda Brass Company. With the help of Science Club money and manpower, Al Predko built a Resistor Coil, which he demonstrated at the Test Tube Trot, the Science Club dance on Friday, January 22. Bob Lindsay built a Zisla Coil which we unveiled at Variety Night. Both pieces of apparatus put on o spectacular show and the boys are to be com- mended for their fine work. Should the last half of the year measure up to the first, this season will have been an active and informative one for the Science Club. ORGANIZATION DANCES G.A.A. GAMES NIGHT The G.A.A. 's Fall dance, the gala Sock Hop, was held in October. A volleyball game between the Girls' Senior Team and the Grads highlighted the evening's entertainment and for added enioyment, there was badminton and volleyball for all. Eaton 's Band Box provided the tops in music for the dancers. Prizes galore were given away-record albums for those who donned the flashy socks, and records for the winners of the spot and elimination dances. We of the G.A.A. all hope that you had a ten'ific time at our l953 Games Night. KICKAPOO KAPERS The G.A.A. 's big dance of the year was held approp- riately on Friday, November l3th . That night the gals escorted their beaux, Dogpatch style, to the Kickapoo Kaper . The evening began with square dancing to an old time caller. Later on there was dancing to the smooth music of Don Masterson's Band . For refreshments, cider 'n donuts were served, in keeping with the atmosphere . The entertainment was a Dogpatch skit fapologies to Al Cappl with Sandra Lorimer as Daisy Mae and Don Lawrence as L'il Abner. We think it was one of the best Sadie Hawkins dances ever!
