WAS A BEAUTIFUL INDIAN MAIDEN. She seemed to come from the riverg How could beauty like that live? How was it that Mother Nature I-Ier to the mortal world did give? Her hair was long and shiny, Like silken black thread, With long silken lashes in unison With the ebony sheen of her head. Her eyes were -dark and mysterious, ' But now were twinkling and gayg Her cheery bright smile did surely Match that glorious bright day! T-hen slowly the picture fadedg I knew that it had been a dreamy Yet now, I think how pretty And realistic to me it seemed. -Ada Jones, SSS, 209.

EASTERN EcHo 39 Z' T E no i E Af C fi g D , Z ,5 i M D . E .ui l XII 7 .gtgiiiir l The Literary and Dramatic Society HE Literary and Dramatic Society have planned a very interesting programme for the year 1932. It consists of three meetings, which are to take the form of two Shakespearean and one Irish programme. Up to the present we have only presented one Shakespearean pro- gramme, which took place on February 12th. On this programme we pre- sented three scenes from K'The Merchant of Venice by NVilliam Shakespeare, namely, The Borrowing Scene, The Pleading Scene and The Trial Scene, which were directed by Mr. Woods and enjoyed by one of the largest meetings the Literary and Dramatic Society have ever held. The cast was as follows: Portia ............ ,.....,r.. r +X. Hayward Shylock ....,.....,..... .,,....... H . Swift The Duke .....,.,.. .......... , l.

Harding Our two remaining programmes for the year are to take place early in April. Under the direction of Mr. Rowe, the 3A boys are enacting The Clown's Play, Pyramus and Thysbee, from A Midsummer Night's Dream and Mr. Carson is directing The Launcelot Gobbo Scenes from The Merchant of Venice for our Shakespearean Comedy programme. On our Irish programme we are having a play entitled Spreading the News, which is being directed by Mr. Gemmill. We feel sure these programmes will be quite as successful as our first one has been and that this Society will continue to be one of the leading sub-societies of the Eastern High School of Commerce. -M. Brodie, SS4.
