24 VOX The second step, of course, is to gain the confidence of the people. This is more difficult, and requires just a little l'bZ1.itlllg.H I am proud to say that our efforts, so far, have succeeded in obtaining a larger membership and attracting more capacity audiences than ever before in Lyceum history. The third and last step is gigantic. It entails educating the throng to embrace higher ideals. Here we must walk most circumspectly lest by one false move we lose thc confidence of some eight hundred people whom we serve. Still, if you will notice, we are gradually introducing into our programmes, a little more culture and liberal education, for it is our earnest desire, that we may leave at the close of the term a new constitution which calls for improved organization, and for meet' ings which will be a vital factor in de- veloping the character of each student. Let ns now recall and forcast some of our special features:- To begin with, wc are trying to solve the difficult problem of choosing a life Work, by bringing in men at the top of each profession, to acquaint the student with thc different fields of employment and the requirements necessary to succeed in each, Mr. E. S. Hogarth, B. A., opened this course with some general hints. Since then Mr. F. F. hIcPherson, M.A,, has dwelt on Tl'Ill'lllllg','. Mr. livlxvartl Morri- son, HA., on Science,i' and Mr. W. H. VVardropc, K,C., on L:1w. Mr. J. P. Bell, Gen. Manager of the Bank of Hamil- ton, and Mr. YV. H. Hewlett, Mus. Bac., are scheduled to speak on Banking and K ' Music respcetively in .Ta nuary. No thinking' member can afford to miss one ot' these heart-toeht-art talks, Through the kind co-operation of Miss Dorothy Stock, We have begun another series. This one is to spread the apprccial tion of that much neglected sister of literature and music, namely-the dance. Dances representing each of the nations are to bc presented, Miss Thelma Met Kelvey having already interpreted Can- ada. We have been greatly honored by the appearance of Mrs. Wrtllztce Reid, who so vividly outlined to us her important nies- sage. Let us take her words to 'heart and hear more on this subject in the near future. LYCEI Christmas, 1923 After C-hristmas a series of debates are to begin. In this the forms will compete for the school championship: and no doubt put forth some exceptional talent. Along this same line we are going to have an oratorieal contest again this yearg and a prize of 3420.110 is again offered through the generosity of our old friend, Mr. W. M. Logan, M. A. VVe hope to have talks on many interesting subjects by the stud- ents: and would also like to bring in someone to teach us a little practical psychology, a subject so vital, if we are to understand our lives. This year we have started' a Dramatic Club. yvhieli. under Mr. Ed. Morrison as director, Lloyd Sommerville as president, promises to ft'lSiPl'.ClI'flll12'ttiC appreciation by contributing valuable items to our programmes in the near future. Speaking of music, our Orchestra is doing better work for Mr. Collins every day. XVe also have a new musical society in our aftiliation-I mean the Glee Club: and here we must take off our hats to Mr. Roy Fenwick, who is so generously giving us his valuable time to foster this branch of the Art. Alan Christie, ever-popular, is the president. A contest for a school song is also open, for every great school must 'have its song. The closing day is Jan. 31, 1924, and a valuable prize is offered for the best original composition sent in. Of course the judges will accept nothing which does not reach a certain standard. VVe have made another departure from custom in choosing our school playg and have decided on-not a. college farce!- but a real honest-to-goodness mystery This will call for some heavier acting than we have play, ' ' Contents Unknown. seen for many years. The school dance is to be held during the latter part of January. You may rest assured that it, also, will be bigger and better than ever. So now lct me conclude this arid enum- eration by moving a heartfelt vote of thanks to Messrs. Morris, Morrison, t lark and Whitclock for their advice, and to Mr, Reinlce and his associates for this wonderful issucg and let me charge all hesitant students to come and join our great throng in order that we may better improve ourselves, foster the school spirit, and serve King and Creator at all times.
