ORCHESTRA Hlllzizsic, H10 greatest good that mortals know, .-Ind all of lziecweizi we lzow belowf' Kingston Collegiate and Vocational In- stitute has a band of twenty performers on various musical instruments, directed by the capable and enthusiastic leader, Mr. G. E. Braithwaite. Through its failure to render jazz, that type of music which originated in the African jungle, much criti- cism has been directed against this worthy group of people by well-meaning adoles- cents but without avail, The aims of the orchestra include the soothing of the sav- age breast, along with the giving to the in- experienced player an opportunity to gain confidence by playing with others, and pro- viding assistance at literary societies with musical numbers. This season the orches- tra has two new spheres of usefulness. The bi-weekly gathering of students in the new auditorium, for opening exercises, is made more pleasant by the singing of O Canadai' with orchestral accompaniment. The citi- zens of Kingston enjoyed the numbers ren- dered by the orchestra on the occasion of the opening of the new technical school, NOTICE If there are any unused instruments such as could be used for orchestral pur- poses in any Kingston homes, it would be greatly appreciated by the management of the School Qrchestra if the owners of such instruments would be kind enough to donate them to the Kingston Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute. . f ff l xX T 1 A X X Q ' x iff fx kixgl- F 7 i l E ' .

ii44IPdG.fTON CCLLEGIATE VOiATlCNALx INSTITUTE GLOBE-TROTTING Interviewer-Wallace Muir Egypt! Does not the very word fill you with awe, suggesting a depth of mystery almost beyond human comprehension? Probably most of us dream that some day we shall see for ourselves this strange coun- try about which we hear so much. yet know so little. Miss Hall and Miss Chown have heard of our wish and offer to take us with them on their trip to Egypt. Come, let us all gog I am sure it will be a marvellous trip. lI'n the following article I will use We as though I were a third party on the trip.j British XVar Cemetery on Mount Scopus. We sailed from Quebec to Southampton and after three weeks in England joined our party on july 18, 1931. NVe boarded the Ormonde at Tilbury Docks. The Or- monde was a very fine ship and our state room was equipped with very nearly all the luxuries you might expect to find in a bedroom of your favourite hotel in Toronto. Wfe sailed through the Channel, then turn- ed South and sailed around the Bay of Biscay, then down the coast of Portugal and finally landed at Gibraltar. Here we went ashore and were conducted through part of the Galleries constructed by French prisoners during the Napoleonic wars. These Galleries extend for a total distance of 105 miles, but are by 'no means the best place to be in on a hot -luly day. Something which greatly interested most of our party at Gibraltar was their system of water supply. When you consider that they have scarcely any rain from April to October you realize that conservation of water is no mean problem. They have a system of cisterns dug into the rock and these serve a collecting area of 16 acres. The fact that the storage cisterns are dug ..57.. into solid rock assures that the water will be kept cool. The storage tanks have a capacity of 9,000,000 gallons. The Europa Light House at Gibraltar is the most south- erly point in Europe. From here we passed through the Balearic Islands to Toulon and thence on to Naples, When we reached Naples we saw what appeared to be a heavy cloud hanging over the mountain, but what was in reality a dense cloud of smoke issui-ng from the crater of that dread mountain-Vesu- vius. Prom Naples we made the trip to Pompeii, the city which the volcano of Vesuvius completely wiped out Cin the year 79 A.D.j. VVe went through some of the buildings and walked over those streets which still show the ruts worn in them by the wheels of chariots in the first century. We also visited the museum which con- tains well preserved types of nearly all the implements used by the inhabitants of that once thriving city, and even some of the inhabitants themselves in petrified form are on exhibition. From Naples we passed through the Straits of Messina. It was 11ight and on either side of us was a perfect fairyland of lights. lVe then crossed the Mediterranean. From first to last Egypt presented in grandeur and beauty-not to mention enter- tainment-more than we had pictured in our fondest dreams. Prom Port Said we journeyed to Cairo. Cairo delighted us more than any other place we stayed at in Egypt. Here we visited the museum in which King Tut's treasures are exhibited. During the whole trip we were royally treat- ed, but the hospitality shown us while in Cairo by a certain Major james Gunn was outstanding, One evening we had 6 vb dinner at his home, then later in the even- 7 Mena Pyramids, seen from irrigation ditch on the way from Sakkara.
