At our Christmas party, the girls' display of dolls, food, and tinned goods in the auditorium showed that they had enjoyed getting these ready for some unfortunates, who otherwise might not have had a Christmas dinner.

The Literary and Dramatic Society During the fall term, considerable time was required by the stage crew to readjust the lighting equipment of the stage. Next year an earlier start is anticipated for the Dramatic Societys programmes, The Christmas Play w'as our contribution to the annual programme of the Girls' Club. It was entitled The Child in Flanders , by Cicely Hamilton. The Prologue opens with Privates Whittaker. Murdock, and Daoud Khan boisterously entering a French pea- sant's cottage to seek shelter for the night. With considerable difficulty they conveyed to the Frenchman their need of food and shelter. After they had discovered that the peasants wife had just borne a son. they settled down by A. G. Sirrri-1 AND :XLEC .-XNGIER quietly. Their dreams were then the coming of Christ - the events of Bethlehem. The Girls' Chorus, under the direction of Miss Howard, and the stage lighting provided ap- propriate setting for this scene. As the music dies away, the peasant re-enters and wakes the sleeping men. While the peasant is get- ting his lantern to show them the road, the three soldiers discuss their dreams. As they pass under the crucifix over the door that leads to the Arras road and No Manis Land , each one turns to salute the child reverently. The mid-year examination period having come to an end, programmes for the spring term are under consideration. LITERARY AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY Centre Front-R.
