30 EASTERN ECHO left the singers short of breath and dry of throat, so that many trips to the drinking fountain were necessary. The second group consisted of songs of other lands, ending with a rollicking song of the sea, The Mermaid, which the chorus Qand, we hope, the audiencej enjoyed very -much. This public performance was attended with a few difficulties, such as the brevity of time for preparation, and the insecurity of standing arrangements on the platform, but we are sure these can be overcome in future. The Glee Club's services have been sought for two Literary Society meetings after Easter and we hope to sing some well-known Irish songs at the Trish meeting and some appropriate songs at the Shakespearean meeting. For the latter we have in mind From Oberon in Fairylandf' I Know a Bank VVhereon the Wild Thyme Grows, and Blow, Blow, Thou Winter' VVind. Qur activities for the year we intend to conclude with a hike or picnic in the merry month of May. Our sincere appreciation of the time and effort which Miss Howard has put at the disposal of the Glee Club can be fully shown by the co-oper- ation of everyone in making this venture a success. Our gratitude is also extended to Lorraine Lessel, our versatile pianist, who performs in so admirable a spirit. -Barbara Tawnsczzd. The School Dance XRIDAY evening, February 26th, promised to be one of the biggest and best social functions of the year, as the fifth annual dance was to be held in one of our USTATELY BALLRQO-MS, namely, the north gym. The gym was beautifully decorated with the famous s-chool colours red, gold and black. The ceiling was 'hung with Chinese lanterns and the walls were trim-med with dragons of every colour of -the rainbow. About three hufndred students, teachers and friends danced merrily to the gay music of Russ Berraca and his Royal Commodores. The gym formed a picturesque background for the dancers, clad in vivid colours and dancing joyously to the fox-trots, waltzes and novelty numbers. During an inter-mission of about half an hour, refreshments were served -in the cafeteria along with favours and n-oise-makers. - Everyone was sorry when the strains of the last waltz died away but, as usual, all good things must come to an end. --G. .McLean, SS3. Rugby Dance N December 4-th, 1932, the second annual Rugby Dance was held in honour of the boys of the rugby and soccer teams, whose splendid work ilast sea-son deserves a great deal of credit. Oley Kent's orchestra was in attendance and the music was exceptionally good. Punch was served between dances to the grateful merry-markers. There were also novelty dances which added t-o the excitement of the evening. , At 12 o'cl-ock the da-ncers trooped home, weary but happy after a very enjoyable eveni-ng. -Kay Zlfaftlzews, SSS, 203.
