, xf 5 'n'9 98 P, . CURTAIN Tl ME Settling back comfortablv in deep plush seats, he look around the softlx illuminatetl theatre. Celebrities are here for the premiere perfortnance. Somewhere in the wings the orchestra is tuning up. Progranmtes rrrstle as the audience scans the cast. The theatre is crowdetl and rather warm. Suddenly ererxont- straightens to atten- tion. and the htun of cornersation ceases abruptlx. The shacltnvv crimson curtains sweep slowlv apart revealing a world of make- helieve on the lighted stage. Perhaps we have come to see a Cockner plat entitled Low Life wherein the skilled actors lend a note ol tart lrumotrr with their Loudon accent. It max be a lancilul lfrench romance such as the Maker of Dreams . It could be either She Was Xu Lady or The Boi Came Homef Whv mention ant others? You hate seen them too. I The play is cner. As the curtains close, the audience return to the world about them, I'lrunder'otis applause is answerecl bv the re- rppearance of the cast tired but hzrppv. lhe .rrsles begin to fill. llruiing cloaks .ne care- ,esslx tlizown over white shoulders. .ls we leaxt- we hear the mixed criticism of people who know the theatre well. A What an irn.rgsirr.rtion! In the C-.C.Y.I. Dramatic Club we sit on hard chairs in the Llhrarr. Outside. basketball practice rages. .ind cues are lost forever in the htrbhrrli.

Mr. Mackav. a new teacher on the staff. has been the instructor of the cluh: the cltrb was his idea and his guidance the chief cause for its success to date. 'I he purpose of the clttb is to offer to interested students science information which they other- wise would not get. The 1947 officers were:-President, Don Webbg Vice-Pres., Rav Vanstoneg and Secretary, Richard Branion. For 1948 the officers are: President, Art Mercer: Vice-Pres., Lee Master: Secretary, Vic Bustarcl. The meetings are held every Monday at fifteen minutes after four in the Junior Science Lab. At each meeting a member gives a lec- ture on the scientific subject in which he is particularlv interested. after which questions arc asked on the lecture. So far the speakers have been-Gord. Akitt. The Polimar Teles- cope 3 Lee Master. Soils : Ted Henderson. S0und : Dave McCar1. Mars g Richard Bran- ion, Insulin : Ray Vanstone. Crossing the Pacific : john YVard, The Migratory Plovers and their Flightsug Art Mercer. The Sun , and Keith Holman, Electric Eels . Following the illustrated talks, forty-five minutes of each meeting are devoted to prac- tical work. To date, considerable work has been done with microscopes. and many ITICITI- bers .ire turning out vert corrrmendahle slides. It is hoped that if time permits. sufficient work llI.iX he dong in plrotograplrv to form a nucleus for .r luttue cxtrnera club. Un lan. llith. the first open meeting was room. Mr. Braucht showed . f color film of Yellowstone an excellent talk on that open meeting was held on thq Physics Lab. when a heltl in the music a verv interesting Park to illustrate subject.

On januari' 29th the members of the club visited the Royal Astrcmomical meeting when a talk on Sun Spots was given bv Dr. Hogg. the Direc- tor of the Dunlap Observatory. The Science Club has its own Librarv with yearly subscriptions to Science Illustra- ted . Popular Science . Popular Mechanics . Science Digest . and American Nature Maga- 7ine . There is also a good supplv of science reference hooks. The Librarian, Ted Hender- son. has printed a set of librarr cards. ltr the Spring. the activities of the Club will increase with nature hikes and visits to local factories. The tnembers of the club have benefited greatlv frotn the interesting lectures to thank all those it a success.
