The steady courage shown by Alex Harris as Dugald. The soldiers were very handsome and dashing and made good entrances and exits inspired by their Captain Hugh Krentz. The difficult part of Morag was well carried by Joyce Haigh. Bruce Rea played the ”Yes man” with a flair. The prize winning play ”The Grand Cham’s Diamond” was commented for the way the spirit of the comedy had been caught. Glenda Glass as Mr s. Perk ins was completely in character at all times and carried the play through. Larry Robinson’s make-up as Mr.Perkins was very good and he did a particularly good job of sleeping in his chair. The Stranger, Campbell Copeland could have been even more melodramatic but gave excellent emphasis to his demand for the diamond. Terry Mitchell as Albert saved the situation by arriving at the right moment and revealing to Polly, Betty Money, that he was from Scotland Yard. We would like to thank the following for the help they gave which made it possible to put on such successful plays: Mrs.Lee, Mr.Scarrow, T.Eaton Co., Mrs.A.A.Smith,Adjudicator, Miss Naomi Kelly.

The re wa s so me d if f i cu It y exp e ri e ne ed in pe r suadi ng Pat Francis to act like a lady - an old lady that is.. Instead of ' walking onto the stage very slowly and bent over. Pat would come bouncing in gaily. Poor Marilyn, student director. She said Do this and and they did that. A tip of the hat also goes to Marilyn Wilkinson, student director. It was quite a joke when deep voiced Bruce Rea, L itio played ; James, d.idn’t show up to one of the rehearsals. Campbell asked What say- ye James? And a timid feminine voice answered He is guilty .And Campbell replied, with a.puzzled look on his face. Veiy well said James. That’s once Steffie’ s voice was heard. All felt sorry for Alex Harris. It seemed all the boys but Alex had beautiful co-stumes. We couldn’t find one that would suit him. Finally we found an old pair of breeches, a .tom jacket and a moth eaten scout hat. Alex said h e didn’t care v hat it looked ' like, providing it was a, costume..well he ' got one l When the great night arrived, it was like every other big night for school plays-. Nothing seemed to run anoothly. Everyone Y ras dressed in their costumes, all ready for make-up. Where was the bag with all the powder puffs and make-up capes? It had vanished. We ended up using kleenex and one or two puffs. As for the actors and actresses, they all did their best. Among other things mentioned by Mrs.A.O.Smith, the adjudicator, were . Pat Francis’ beautiful voice and fine characteriz¬ ation ' of the old lady in Campbell of Kilmohr. Roman Yarema’s fine use of gesture and facial ex¬ pression in the portrayal of Campbell of Kilmohr.
