EASTERN ECHO 23 Commencement N Friday evening, November 13, 1931, the sixth annual Commence- ment Exercises were held in our school auditorium. The hall was filled to capacity with students, parents and friends, who thoroughly enjoyed the splendid programme arranged for them. 1 The Commencement Exercises began with an Overture by the Eastern High School of Commerce Orchestra. The school orchestra is considered the finest in Toronto and Mr. Tufts is again to be congratulated on his progress with the musicians in the past year. Mr. Waltei' Keast, BA., the principal, gave a very interesting address on the Work and progress of the students in the past year. This Was followed by a presentation of a beautiful visitors book by the Students' Council. A smart little couplet dance was given by Misses Violet Baker and Gladys Cartlidge. Miss Dora Taubman gave a clever demonstration of clogging. Later in the programme, other dances were given by Misses Wilina Camplin and T-helma Kennedy. Talent in Highland Dancing which drew a pronounced round of applause was extremely well displayed by Misses Eleanor Morrison and Margaret Thompson. An interesting part of the programme was the Yaledictory Address by the ex-President of the Students' Council, Miss Eileen Radford. Miss Rad- ford has been the first and only girl, so far, to have the honour of being elected President of such a large body of students. Following this address were solos, sung by Mrs. Isabel XK'ry Jenkins, accompanist-Miss M. Gordon. The most important and long-waited for number on the programme was the presentation of diplomas to the Third and Fourth form graduates. and to successful night school students. Certificates were also given to those students who were successful in their Matriculation Examinations. The Sir Isaac Pitman Award of the Shield and Medal went to Miss Gladys Bartle, and the Silver Medal to Miss Doris George. Medals were also presented to the participants in the D.C.R.A. Tournament. The Annual School Field Day Champs were next presented with the Field Day Awards. The Senior Champion was Miss Helen Fullerton, and the junior, Miss Doris Cranswick. The Boys' Senior Champion was Jack Smith, the Inter- mediate-Victor Gibson, and the junior-Stanley Norman. The programme was brought to a close with the selection O Canada, played by the School Grchestra. -Irene Lembke and Doris llfCCO-717161, SSS. The School Concert A-bout t-he finest entertainment that has ever graced a school audi- torium was held on March 17, and repeated on March 18 of this year, when two capacity audiences enjoyed the annual concert of Eastern Commerce, presented bythe students and teachers of the school. The school orchestra, so well trained under the baton of Mr. H. Tufts, rendered much delightful, sparkling music throughout the programme. Mr. John Durham, an invaluable member and a cornet medalist. played a much- appreciated solo.

This year all the sub-societies of previous years were granted petitions while a new sub-society was organized. This was the Glee Club, which has been handled solely by Miss Howard, who has had valuable experience in this work. We have already undertaken a Rugby Dance, a School Dance, and, with the kind co-operation of the Staff, a School Concert. At the present time a committee appointed by the Council are preparing their report on the advisability of adopting a new school crest. The Council of the Students' Association for 1931-32 wishes to extend to all past Councils, their sincere appreciation. We are striving to imitate their splendid example. To future Councils we say: On looking over the records of past councils may you be inspired, as we have been, to 'keep up the good work'. -James A. Kerr, President, Students' Council.
