MUSICAL ACTIVITIES The orchestra and glee club, under the supervision of Miss R. E. Mc- Crum, were quite active throughout the 1934-35 term, and added greatly to the success of school functions. The practices were held every Tuesday afternoon. Due to the fine talent of the musicians and the splen¬ did conducting of Miss McCrum, it made a decided contribution at the school concert. The glee club was divided into two classes. While one part had practices on Mondays and Thursdays, the others met on Wednesdays and Fri¬ days. The girls worked with enthu¬ siasm and spent many memorable afternoons together, which in the fu¬ ture years, no doubt, will be looked back upon with pleasant memories. THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL This is the second year that Isaac Newton has entered a chorus in the Musical Festival. The selections chosen for this season were “Sound Sleep” and “On the Plains”. In the first number the girls were over an¬ xious and did not do as well as they had at practices. They sang well enough, however, to receive 80 marks. In the second piece they sang with spirit, and were awarded 84 marks. We extend our sincerest thanks to Miss McCrum for her wonderful work in training the girls, and hope that she will enter a chorus from Isaac Newton next year. GRADE XI SOCIAL On Saturday, November 12th, the Grade XI’s held an enjoyable social evening. The entertainment began with singing. Mr. Pigott presided at the piano. Talking pictures were shown through the courtesy of the Hydro Electric Co., after which re¬ freshments were served. In high spirits the teachers and students joined in the dancing. The music was supplied by Bill Moore and his Beacon Band. A very pleasant evening was had by all.

32 THE NEWTONIAN DRAMATICS At the annual concert, which was held in the school auditorium on February 27, 28 and March 1, the dramatic group contributed an inter¬ esting performance to the program. It was a two-act historical play, “Madeline de Vercheres.” Due to the skillful directing of Miss Johnston and Mr. Connag ' han, and the splendid acting of the characters the play proved a great success. Others who aided in sharing the responsibilities of the production were Miss McCrum, who taught the dancing and singing portion; Miss McLaren, who looked after the costumes, and Mr. Cormack, who provided the attractive scenery.

S. year 1934-35 was the an¬ nual school tramp held on March 16. The mild weather and the deep snow attracted nearly two hundred enthu¬ siasts. Assisting at the tramp were Mr. Sisler, Mr. Pigott, Mr. Davey, Miss Johnston and Miss McLeod. They tramped along McKenzie to the out¬ skirts of the city; from there west to the prairies as far as MePhillips and along MePhillips to the school. Back at the school hot dogs and coffee were served and each room put on a ten-minute stunt. The sketches created much enjoyment. Room 17 was awarded the prize for the best stunt of the evening. Fol¬ lowing the entertainment soft drinks and suckers were served to the happy hikers. The co-operation of teachers and students made this a very suc¬ cessful school affair.
