26 THEKENNEDYYEAR-BOOK ....I.I.I...Illllllllllill SCHOOL ACTIVITIES The Literary Society The Executive of the Literary Society was elected at an open meeting early in the fall. It is coniiKised of ten members under the presidency of Maurice St. Aubin, ably assisted by Ethelwyn Lustgarten as secretary. The first Lit” meeting was held in December, at which Ned Carrington anti Forrest Rogers presented some of the fourth and fifth form talent that they had gathered together. The second meeting was a short one-act play Buddy Buys an Orchid.” It was directed by Albert Cohen and June Reid with the help of Mr. Riggs- However, since the New Year, the work of the Society has been mostly confined to the task of putting forth the second edition of the “KcncoH —and believe me, students, this has been a task. Three Cheers for the Literary Society! The Glee Club The Glee Club is continuing splendidly again this year under Mr. Wass ' direction. The i)resident is Kathleen Prophet and the secretary, Louise Butt. The club was first heard this year at our commencement exercises singing My Hero and All Through the Night.” At the Music Festival at Walkerville Collegiate on March 14th they made a splendid showing. Their selec¬ tions were “The Pilgrim ' s Chorus” and Nightfall.” The Glee Club presented two talented singers, Shirley Brad¬ ley and George Redden, in the solo parts of “Nightfall.” ' But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” so to relieve the monotony, these .songsters went skat¬ ing on River Canard, returning to cat on home territory in the cafeteria—for. of course, they had to eat. Oli. yes, this Glee Club of ours is a very busy organization. The Orchestra When the orchestra met in September, a new e.xecti- tivc was elected. Jack Jewell became president aitd Forrest Rogers secretary. Under the able leadership of Mr. Wass, more progress lias been made than in former years. The orchestra entertained at numerous assembli ' es throughout the year, as w-ell as playing for the school play and open night. Let us not forget the splendid wav in wdiich it represented Kennedy at the Music Festival—the best showing yet made by a Keti- nedv Orchestra. Through the kind consent and co-operation of our princijial. Mr. Gilbert, a new sehool dance orchestra was « rganized. The students have enjoyed this swing orchestra and are anxious to bear more of it. Let ns hope that this year’s successes in the orches¬ tral work may be continuetl next year. The musicians who comprised this year’s orchestra were: Violins, IGaiiic Perrault, Klso Bchineariol. Bob Wilson, Walter .Martyniuk, Walter Tronianko; cornets, David Sparks, Steve Freisinger. Jack Jewell; saxo¬ phones. Jack Gordon, Bill Colledge, Ellen Balnian; clarinets, Stuart Walker, Forrest Rogers. Louis Zawad- ski; accoidions. Bob Newman, Jean .-Vpplehy; bass violin, Ray Parsons; tromlxinc, Don .MacCuaig; drums, Colley John.son, E 1 Baxter; piano. Hazel Solomon. Kennedy Kamera Club This year the camera club is under the able super¬ vision of Mr. Thompson. This year’s president is Harry Weller, and its secretary, June New. Doug Mc.Mlister is bu.siness manager. In case you have ever wondered about what goes on in the dark room—here ' s the dope. It is open to all boys on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Mon¬ day the dark room is used exclusively by the girls. E.x- ccllent results have been obtained, judging froin the pictures entered in recent snapshot contests. This club is a source of much pleasure to all those who have a camera. The Dramatic Society The Dramatic Society helped a great deal in adding a bit of gaiety to our daily grind with the presentation on March 7th’ and 8th of Our Girls, an hilarious three act comedy. It certainly was gaiety, judging from the state of collapse in wfiich most of us were, due to so much laughter. Norma Zamparo’s portrayal of the hard-boiled neighbour, Mrs Wattles, provided some of the highlights of the play, as did the excellent accent of Lucy Kuse, as the Sw-edish maid. Bob Trindcr, Nick Chomyshyn and Wally Fletcher made splendid girls as they dressed up for the benefit of their “ pieer” aunt. Phyllis Lavery. Ethelwyn Lustgarten and . lbcrt Cohen as the agitated parents, Mr. and -Mrs. Elmer Lovejoy. were very realistic. .-Mso. credit is due to Claire Deziel ami John Seiber as Mrs. Wattles ' children. Then, of course, we don’t forget the director. Thank you, Mr. Riggs—from everyone. The Kennedy Discussion Group Now that so mucli is happening in the world, we find ourselves at a loss to keep up with current events. However, there is in the school a group of students who meet every Wednesday at four to discuss the rapidly changing course of events. Every week, each student receives a topic to investigate and reiiorts his results at the next meeting. In this way they fiiul themselves more easily able to understand what is going on around them. The president of the society is Ned Carrington, the secretary, ' Pheresa Kadman. Mr. Walter fills the posi¬ tion of staff advisor.
