A novel idea, that of the Amateur Contestw, was introduced. It proved most successful, bringing greater crowds to the Lyceum meetings. Early in the new year the Lyceum executive sponsored an outstanding event of the season in the form of a combined sleigh-drive and dance. The guests, who arrived at 7 p.1n., first LYCEUM enjoyed a sleigh-drive and later danced in the girls' gymnasium to the music of the junior Lyceum Orchestra. Delightful refreshments were served in the cafeteria and when the merry-makers departed at I2 o'clock the even- ing was unanimously proclaimed a great suc- cess. Mr. McPhail should be thanked for organizing this Hrst social function for the Lower School students. The Oratorical Contest will as usual bring to a close the activities of the year. Concerning the ticket selling competition, no form obtained loo per cent. membership, but form 2-E re- ceived the prize for having sold the most tickets with form 1-A a close second. The executive wishes to express its apprecia- tion to those teachers who so kindly gave their time-in acting as critics and judges at the various meetings and, in particular, Mr. McPhail who has given us his valuable advice throughout the year. 485i

UX GLEBANACXQQ- QAEPALERE FLAMMAM ikliifr oua Y15ARs ago a group of scientifically minded members of the school organized the Glebe Science Club. Its purpose was to promote all branches of practical science in the school, to give students a chance to exchange viewpoints at organized meetings and the opportunity of studying more advanced topics than are discussed in the class-room. Under the guiding hand of Mr. Bullock the little band of 36 members became a smooth- working unit, and during the following years it grew and flourished. B In the fourth year of its existence it has in- creased to such proportions that membership had to be somewhat restricted, honour standing in Middle School Chemistry being required for enrolment. The club is divided into groups of six, each with its leader as follows:- Deerepitators . . . Radicals . . . . Creative Chemists . . . H. Gordon . J. Fairbairn . Miss M. Narraway . R. Lockeberg Miss Motherwell . . Miss Irving . . V. Roche . Miss Acton . . Maundrell . . . Gillett Cracked Graduates . . Active Atoms . . Retorts .... Bubble Busters . . . Flasby Florence Flasks . Silly Silieates .... Mnddled Molybdates . The club meets every second Wednesday when one group, with its leader is responsible for the programme, consisting of experiments, talks, or contests of scientific nature. Besides regular meetings we expect to have guest speak- ers from teclmical branches of the Civil Ser- rl vice and from local industries. During the class study of iron we were fortunate in securing an interesting film on the manufacture of steel, which was of inestimable value in illustrating the processing of that metal. The reference library, originally composed of a few periodicals, has increased one hundred fold and now includes texts by the best authori- ties in the various branches of science, not to mention the subscriptions to magazines or numerous pamphlets on manufacturing and metallurgical process. VVe hope to visit the Bell Telephone Ex- change, the Filtration Plant and the Research Council Laboratories. Under the supervision of reliable authorities, field trips will be taken in the spring to study Botany, Zoology and Geology. Since the trip to Courtauld's Rayon Mills in Cornwall was such a success last year, a repetition of the visit is anticipated, and fur- ther excursions to other outside establishments are contemplated. In preparation for the Annual Science Dance on March 6th, a prep dance has been held and received with enthusiasm. The executive has worked industriously in arranging for this popular social function, and hopes for even a greater success than in past years. Credit for the organization's flourishing con- dition must in great measure be given to our sponsor, Mr. Bullock, whose sympathetic back- ing and skilful guidance have brought the club to its present state of healthy activity. by ROBERT HAAIMOND 87? - ,
