16 EASTERN ECHO entertainment. A sing-song opened the programme and following this we enjoyed both classical and popular music rendered by ag brass quartette, a popular trio and a contralto singer. Mr. Harold Woods, the Poet of the Homef' read so-me of his poems. This was, perhaps, the best enjoyed pro- gramme of the year and the Alumni are grateful for the generous assistance that these artists gave. The meeting in February had for its main purpose the advertising of the Annual Dance. Mr. Wilfrid Reeves was guest speaker of the evening, and made a thrilling appeal to the members in his talk on Ideas, which seemed to be particularly appreciated by the audience. March brought the Annual Dance. Held in -the Crystal Ballroom of the King Edward Hotel with Luigi Romanelli's Orchestra, the dance was acclaimed to be the finest that the Alumni had attempted. What fear should we have for the future events when every person at the dance is an enthusiastic advertiser for the ones yet to come. We have yet before us another meeting in April and a pro-posed Moon- light sail some time in July, but on the whole the functions for the year are over. Our programme this year has been as varied as possible but we would like to know what you have thought of it. If you have any suggestions for future meetings that you would like to see carried out, let us know as we are only too anxious to have something different each meeting. We would like to urge, once again, those of our graduates who have not come out this year, to attend some of our meetings in the fall and get acquainted again. You can't imagine the pleasure of seeing old classmates and re-living the years since graduation. So come out for one meeting and we can promise you that we won t have to urge you to come out again. To those who are graduating this year and to those who will be in the Senior for-ms next year, we offer a cordial invitation to attend our meetings in the fall. You, who are graduating, are the prospective executive of future years and we are especially anxious to have you with us. The executive would like to extend their thanks and appreciation to those who have been present at the meetings this year and who have helped make it a Bigger and Better Alumni.

Valedictory .UISS EILEEN RADFORD FTEN we have pined to be -out in this world making our way and seeing our dreams of future wealth, suc- cess, and -happiness fulfilled. We have seen ou-r friends, and their friends go forft'h and come 'back with a serious countenance and tell us of the wonderful suc-cess they have had, while others re- turn with tales off labour, drud- gery, and hardships endured. To- night will be the last time we will -gather here as students. VVhen we leave this hall we shall be saying farewell to our thaprpy-go-lucky days at the Eastern High School of Com- merce. Days in which we have learned to love and respect our teachers, to hon-our our school R X and to obey its rules, not only because 'we were doing right, but for the pleasure we attained in doing so-of couse, there was the odd rufle that seemed to be made to be -broken. No more s-hall we sit with a look -of assumed intelligence on our faces attempting to cover our neglected homewonk. But it was in vain. Sooner or later a confession was due. So 'bewarel To the new student we would say, Be sure your s-ins will find you out, as we are of the past and have come through the many trials and -temptations ourselves. Ever will we carry the memory of Eastern Commerce embedded in our hearts. No lmatter where we go we shall remember the faces of our teachers whose true worth we are now realizing as we say farewell to them to-night. No more shall we have the kindly consideration and help afforded by them when we experience some difficulty in solving a problem. We, have led a placid and sheltered life for three an-d f-our
