Seuen The 1956 Literary transformed the stage of Zion from thc present era to that of 1921. A take-off on the T.V.

The programme opened with the usual morning assembly, consisting of the principal's address, announcements and the singing of the old School Song . After the opening ceremonies, students representing six youngsters from Strathcona Elementary School were brought in for a demonstration Music lesson and rendered their version of We're Peggys and Pollys . Next came a typical mixed gymnastics class of the era with the belles in their middies and glamorous black bloomers. Exercises took place followed by the students' interpretation of the Virginia Reel . The noon hour scene followed with entertainment provided by a double trio singing Beautiful Ohio . As a contrast to this melodious rendition, the Boys from Trinidad , in native costume. then sang two Calypso tunes Chocolate Whiskey and Matilda , A highlight of the show was the presentation of thc dance craze of that day, The Charleston excellently performed by Donna Campbell and Larry Dickey. The show closed with the entire cast on stage for the singing of The Queen. The untiring efforts of all the cast and especially those of our able director. Jean Murray, made this a very successful literary program. tMrs.J Marjorie Reid 54
