DRAMA. The play’s the thing, said Willie Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon - and who are we to argue. We don’t. We agree. Certainly, among the higher achievements of the year we must reckon the presentation of our plays. The G-ra nd Cham’s Diamond and the very dramatic Campbell of Kilmohr. The Drama Club. was organized to undertake the many details involved in the production of a play. We were ■ fortunate in having Mrs. Lee as our director. Then work started in earnest. Committees were allotted their res¬ pective duties, properties. Yes, and although it cost us a nickel each, we became members of the Winnipeg Drama League. The trophy went to Grade X, who sponsored The Grand Cham’s Diamond and we of Grade XI offer our most hearty congratulations. It was a double victory for Grade X when Glenda Glass, as Mrs.Perkins in The Grand Cham’s Diamond was selected the best actress. Again Grade XI makes a most respectful bow and tenders the bouquet. We are proud of you, Glenda. Good sportsmen we have found you to be and we are confident you will join us in congratulating Hugh Krentz who, as the Captain in Campbell of Kilmohr was desig¬ nated to best actor. We are proud of you too, Hugh. The amenities being thus completed, it may be con¬ sidered proper to remark that although the production of a play is difficult and a responsible task, it is not ' without its own particular brand of humor. That all important diamond seemed to be coming through the window before the sound effects crew could break the glass. And that stubborn balloon, the bursting of which was optimistically enough, intended to represent the firing of a gun insisted on beating the gun by seconds. Father Time apparently had an aversion for diamonds,at any rate, the diamond was not given lodging for long in the clock, and director Sheila Burnett was compelled to change clocks Sheila did a grand job as Student Director. Every cobbler to his last and Larry Robinson, as Mr.Perkins was decidedly very much at home in his part. For once his snoring was heard without protest. One got the impression that Larry had played the part all his life.
