LITERARY AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY ELDORA HOHS, 352 THIS year the Literary and Dra- matic Society is carrying out a very interesting program.

The cast was: Spirit of Christ, Colin Corbett, The Law, Berna Duncan, The Sword, Ruby Law, The Light, Gertrude Lamon- tagne, Mercy, Millicent Meharry, and the Madonna, Catherine Walkinshaw. Second Meeting Rory Aforesotid, was the title of the hilarious comedy presented on February 15. It was directed by Mr. Gemmill.

Members of the cast were: Defence Lawyer, John Fitz- Gibbon, Judge, Orville Pollard,lWit- ness, Alma Malmi, Plaintiff, John Cranbury, Orderly, Howard Posten.

M. D. CLITHEROW HE school cafeteria is almost three years old! And, owing to the splendid co-operation of school and staff, it has grown in popularity. In spite of hard times every effort has been made to keep up the standard of efficiency in the consideration of vital necessities of the mid-day meal. It is the duty of the dietitian to plan a well-balanced lunch for your palate and it is surprising how a wise choice of food and drinks will change the aspect of your after- noon's work. The correct balance will renew energy and brain power and banish that sleepy feeling, mak- ing the hours after lunch Hy like magic. It is not customary in all cafe- terias to give teacher and student the same consideration and atten- tion. In our lunch rooms everyone has the same bill of fare and all seem satisfied, which is a happy state of affairs. Our educational facilities are first- class and we want our cafeteria re- ferred to in the same strain. Con- tinued co-operation is all that is necessary to accomplish this since the workers areh eart and soul in their efforts to please. If every student, who is unable to lunch at home, would patronize the school lunch room in ever so small a way, the question of Cafeteria or no Cafeteria would never arise.. We hope to be able to carry on under the same happy conditions, catering to your needs and desires at all times. EASTERN ECHO

GIRLS' CHORUS ADVANCES RAPIDLY JEAN SEVENTEEN classes are repre- sented in the Girls' Chorus, organized last year. This year's ofiicers are: President, Audrey Dal- zell, Specialg Secretary, Jean Whit- ham, 3Cg First year rep.. Josephine Black, 1Cg Third year rep., Jean West, 3C. The Chorus meets each Thursday at 2.30 for an hour and a half's prac- tice. Without doubt the club is advancing more rapidly and covering more work than last year. The presi- dent, Audrey Dalzell, is the outstand- ing soloist and the general belief is that the altos would be completely be- wildered without the staunch aid of Marion Cooper. The Chorus' first performance this year was at the commencement exer- cises. They sang Cherry Ripe and Good King Wenceslas . They next enjoyed a Hallow-e'en masquerade in the girls' gym. Dancing and games, WEST, 3C followed by refreshments, supplied a merry evening. Prizes were awarded for costumes by Mr. Keast and Miss Pirie. At the merchandising display a quartette, Marion Cooper, Mildred Graham, Jean Whitham and Jean West, entertained. At the Christmas concert, the Chorus sang to the move- ments of the actors in The Coming of Christ . Mr. Ward, the singing science-master, led the Chorus in Christmas carols, in which the aud- ience heartily joined. Last, but not least, came our greatest effort of the term, The School Concert , which was held on March 30th and 31st. The Chorus sang a cycle of choruses paraphrased from the ballet music in Faust by Gounod, which the audience enjoyed very much. Spring dancers flew to the tune of their songs and made everyone feel happy and carefree. THE GIRLS' CHORUS EASTERN ECHO S Twenty-seven
