According to the ancient custom of City Park, the Houses gather together their Greer Garsons and Gary Coopers and go into the acting racket in a terrific frenzy. For a month and a half students obligingly cussed their directors and brought their lunch. The result-an evening oi good entertainment. Haultain started the hall rolling with Wings ot Darkness , directed hy NANO NAGLE. RONNY SOMERVILL was commanded by the adjudicator Prof. F, H. Ed- munds. Slipping into a more mysterious play, CARMEN ZAPPA as Cairn's representative, presented The Cloak of Evil. lt was from this play our Gary Cooper came: FRANK SZOMBATHY. Congratulations, Frank. Setting again to lighter material, Baie, with the capable help of BEVERLY HOGARTH, produced Indian Summer. This play missed the Oscar by two points. Better luck next time. But not satisfied with coming second, BETH MILLER took the individual award followed closely by BEATRICE WRIGLEY, looth in the same play, Congratulations again. lt was Martin who did take the Oscar with The Spiders Web directed by SHEILA GORDON. To all the plays, Prof. Edmunds gave an excellent and constructive criticism. We would like to thank him for that, as well as the time he spent with The Spider's Web cast, coaching them for the Northern Iunior Drama Festival. Here City Park came through again. Competing against seven others, they brought another cup to the Library shelves. Mrs. Pat Reid-Banks was the adjudicator there, and with

The squadron is now completely uniformed, each cadet with cap and collar badges, and shoulder flashes. The N.C.O's have been drill tested by members of the R.C.A.F, and worked hard to earn their stripes. Various steps have been taken to secure discipline. Cadets have been confined to a single half day, A.C. officers have been supplied with uniforms, and the N.C.O.'s have the power to deal out punishment to the uncoeoperative. A definite syllabus has been drawn up for camp this summer. Camps will last 10 days and cadets will have a chance to see the workings of an R.C.A.F. station. Air Cadets are becoming a practical part of school life. ff THE CADET BAN D f-- A '-'K '2 . ,A -an f - .

42 THE PARK BENCH some very helpful suggestions from her, the cast moved to Regina for two hectic, tiring, but happy days. Here the play was not quite as successful, missing the mark by three or four points. But, so we wouldn't come home empty-handed, NEIL HARRIS went madder than ever and brought home the cup for the male actor. Congratulations, NEIL and may you work with more than match boxes next time. With nothing more to say I'll make a dramatic exit-So long. -SHEILA GORDON. ff-1'- lrwtev-Collegiate Night Something new in the line of student entertainment came forth this year-Inter Collegiate Night. The four schools got together and, by each contributing something, they turned out an evenings entertainment for each of the collegiates. Of the many items contributed two were particularly outstanding. A group of Nutana boys presented a Hawaiin Dance. Their costumes, typical of those worn by the native women of Waikaikai, set the audience in fits of laughter. Technically the performance was not as well done as some others but every blunder sent the audience rolling further down the aisles. The climax came when, made for the weaker sex, one costume broke under male treatment. Another better performance was put on by EARLE ELLIOTT'S orchestra. More than one City Park student has boasted of its home. With PETE KILLEY as Master of Ceremonies, I-IAZEL MEYERS as vocalist, and DAVE CLARK as drummer, the result could be nothing but the best. Truly we are proud of them. Bedford's contribution was in the form of a play which brought out the ability cf their talented students. The scene was the opening of a Nite Club. Hat check girls, cigarette girls and even the head waiter put on the floor show. The club, corn- plete with orchestra and customers gave some excellent amusement. Tech presented us with a show of song and dance, as well as a chorus number Songs of United Nations. NVith everyone doing their bit the evening was very successful. -SHEILA GORDON. ff'-l Mr. EGIlY1 Wh9H water becomes ice, what important change takes place? Sasseville- Change in price, sir. Bob Thorvaldson- The nerve of that streetcar conductor! He glared at me as if I hadn't paid any fare. Howard Baldwin- What did you do then? Bob T.- I glared back as if I had. Angry parent- While you were bidding my daughter good-night, did it ever dawn on you- -- Art Potts- Certainly not sir! I never stayed as late as that. The old man was sad. It used to be that he could walk around the block daily. Now when he was only half way around, he felt so tired, he had to turn and come back.
