50 SPECULA GALTONIA c A Resume of the Literary Society HE Literary and Musical Society is one of the most prominent student organization in the school. It was or- ganized with the purpose of teaching students self-reliance, to fit them to take part in public affairs, to educate them, and to bring to the fore the talent of the individual. To this end the Literary So- ciety has endeavoured to have as many students as possible take part in the pro- grammes. To overcome t'he average per- sons stage-shyness, a competition has been established among the three departments of the school, namely: Commercial, Tech- nical and Collegiate, for the best One Act Play staged by students. The assistance of an advisory committee comprised of five members of the Staff, Misses Carter, Rheder, Ruddick, Messrs. Boyd and Elton has been of great help to the executive of the Society, in bettering their programmes. At these meetings the School Orchestra has been quite an acquisition and its ser- vices are practically indispensible. We have had numerous vocal, violin and piano solos, and several very attractive dances. Some of the musically inclined boys of the school formed an orchestra under the leadership of Dunc. Mclntbsh, the cos- tumes and contortions being quite an in- novation and oh-how our hearts fluttered when we heard that male quartet. Splendid genius has been shown along Literary lines. Great credit is due to the students of form 3a, who have so ably helped in the production of programmes. Miss Carter's efforts were greatly appre- ciated when she undertook to produce a French Play, the parts being taken by the girls of this form. Under the capable di- rection of Miss McLachlan, the boys por- trayed exceptionally well the funeral ora- tions over the dead body of Caesar. Formerly, Literary Meetings have been held every two weeks, but after careful consideration it was decided to have only one meeting a month, from three to four o'clock, and the department which pre- sents the best play will be awarded a pen- nant. The first of three plays was given in February by the Commercial department, under the direction of Mr. Boyd. It was a one act play, consisting of three scenes, entitled, The Worthy Master Pierre Patalia the Lawyer. The characters were well portrayed and the play afforded much amusement. This was considered to be an excellent beginning and we feel there will be a keen competition between the three departments of the school if the Society could only have the interest and co-operation of every student. The Literary and Musical Society is solely a student activity, and it is our privilege and duty to raise its standard higher by oiering our services and talents for its betterment.

Bear with meg despite a noble effort his voice chokes with sobs and he buries his head in in his toga. Second Citizen Cody, sympathetically- Poor soul, his eyes are red as fire with Weeping. Antony struggles along gallantly un- til reaching the Word Will, where he peps up considerably. Fourth Citizen Clarkus fcraning his neck with interestj- We'll hear the Will, read it Marc Antony. General Whoopee ensues, all shrieking, We Will, we Will, We will hear the will !! Antony steps down to be immediately swallowed by the multitude, but recovers to begin earnestly, If you have tears . . . Look you here, gently lifts up Head's mantle and Julius at once contracts to a remote corner. First Citizen Tait, horror stricken- Oh spectacle. royally- Oh noble Caesar! piteous Lady, Phillipus, wailing-- Oh woeful day! Clarkus, furiously- Oh treacherous vil- lains! Tait, with a hot look- Go fetch fire! Clarkus, energetically- Chuck down forms, windows, anything. Mob roars out with blood-thirsty howls carrying Julius. 51
