The literary Society Last November the Literary Society was or- ganized with the following executive: President: John Gazzola lst Vice-President: Martin Herbert 2nd Vice-President: Suzanne Hutt Secretary: Harry Steele Assistant Secretary: Auke Faber Pianist: Margery Sherlock Assistant Pianist: Clare Hossack Press Reporter: Bernie Houston Assistant Press Reporter: Elizabeth Forbes The Christmas lit The Christmas meeting of the Literary So- ciety was a welcome change from the routine of examinations. The programme started off with a procession into the auditorium of the Junior Girls' Glee Club singing Angels We Have Heard On High, Jesous Ahatonhia, and Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly. Grade 13 presented a fashion show with the boys as models. The students next applauded a tap-dance by Joy McCombe, and a violin solo by Jerry Service. The Mixed Glee Club sang Ding, Dong! Merrily on High and O Come All Ye Faithful. The Four Laddies from Grade lOA gave their rendition of He . A skit by Grade llA about school life and Grade llC's version of Sixteen Tons, fea- turing Ruthann House, were highlights on the programme. The Senior Girls' Glee Club sang What Child ls This, and Silent Night. Grade l2A students presented a vivid in- terpretation of That Good Ole Mountain Dew . John Gazzola, president of the Students' Council, presented gifts to members of the teaching staff and the cafeteria staff and to the caretakers. Then everyone ioined in singing carols, led by Tom Telfer. Mr. Herbert extended his greeting to the students and staff, and the meeting closed with God Save the Queen. Rose Marie Harvey, Grade 12A Recital by Mr. Wilson MacDonald Last fall Mr. Wilson MacDonald, one of the foremost Canadian poets, visited the Col- legiate to give a recital of his lively Caw-Caw ballads and Biblical poetry to the accompani- ment of the music of an old Gregorian chant. Versatile in his poetry as well as in his interests, MacDonald has captured the spirit of the southern negro in his humourous l've Done Quit Stealin' v and of the lively French-Canad- ian in his Stop-Him-Short equally as well as he has caught the call of the wilds in his THE VOLT Song of the Ski or as sensitively as he has interpieted the Scriptures in his Biblical poetry. All of these were presented to the school in the resonant voice ofthe man who wrote them. MacDonald's talent lies not only in writing, but also in art. He showed some of the senior grades a copy of a volume of his poems, soon to be printed, which he himself has illustrated. Mr. MacDonald also gave a short talk on the value of poetry in an effort to give the stu- dents a broader understanding and apprecia- tion of this form of writing. Joan Tyson, Grade 'I3 The Glee Clubs The Glee Clubs of the I.D.C.l. this year have played a very important role in school activities. The main event for the three Glee Clubs, the Junior Girls' Glee Club, the Senior Girls' Glee Club and the Mixed Glee Club, was the annual trip to the Kiwanis Music Festival in Toronto. The Junior Girls' came first in their class with the mark of 84 for their rendition of Wel- come Sweet Pleasure. The Mixed Glee Club also placed first for singing the Bach Chorale From Ill Do Thou Defend Me and Linden Lea. Since this was the third successive year that the Mixed Choir had won the class, they now retain the Kiwanis Shield. ln addition the Mixed Glee Club received a scholarship of fifty dollars. The Senior Girls' Glee Club placed second with the marks of 85 and 85 for their rendition of Orpheus With His Lute and Cherry Ripe. All the Glee Clubs took part in the Blue and White Revue. The Mixed Glee Club sang two excerpts from Oklahoma and the Junior Girls' sang Seventeen. The Senior Girls' gave the show a very beautiful ending by singing When Day ls Done. A party for the Glee Clubs only, was held at the school to celebrate their victories. Miss Fanning was presented with a bouquet of red roses. This year the Senior Girls' Glee Club had the honour of singing in Convocation Hall, Uni- versity of Toronto, at the Easter Convention of the Ontario Educational Association at the af- ternoon and evening meetings on Tuesday, April 3. We wish to express our appreciation to the pianists of the Glee Clubs for their great as- sistance. Suzanne Timms was the pianist for the Junior Girls' Glee Club and Margery Sher- lock and Clare Hossack accompanied both the Mixed and Senior Girls' Glee Clubs.
