The School Board fC0ntin11ed from page 431 school begins on September the fourth and no later! They have many important jobs and each member is on from one to four dif- ferent committees. There is one board meeting every month and sometimes two. Each of these com- mittees meet previously to the .board meeting and prepare its re- port. There is an Audit Committee. Their job is that of checking books, and seeing that everything is ship shape . This includes the check- ing of the financial reports. Now you may wonder what an Auditorium and Gymnasium Com- mittee would do. If the hall is wanted for a lecture, then it is the task of this committee to set the price of rental for the auditorium. The same system of rental and ap- proval applies to the gymnasium. There is also a Building, Proper- ty and Equipment Committee. It is this committee which keeps check on the equipment in the school, and if building repairs or new equipment is needed, then they sub- mit this in their report to the Board. In the buying of property it is this committee which obtains the required information and re- ports its findings to the Board. Perhaps the most important committee is the one concerning the recommending of teachers and courses for K.C.I. It is up to this group to see that the students get the best text books, and courses of study in order that they may obtain the finest pass-port possible, to uni- versity and to industry. It is this committee which keeps K. C. I. in contact with the Ontario Depart- ment of Education. The Management Committee calls all emergency meetings, in- cluding any meetings called as a result of important decisions reached at teachers meetings, or perhaps the second meeting of the Board to be held in the same month. Sweet sounds are constantly echoing from the auditorium. These sounds are created by students singing and playing the music sup- plied by the Music Committee. Their task is to supply musical in- struments and musical scores for the school when they are needed. The recommendation of the pur- chase of the Memorial Organ, was presented to the Board by this committee. Then, there is the Insurance Committee, in charge of insurance for both the school .buildings and property and also for the staff. The Health Committee was re- sponsible for the T.B. X-Ray tests given at the school. Mr. Cressman said that he hoped the school would soon have a full-time nurse to take care of accidents, which might oc- cur in physical training, sports, or in the shops. Publicity! Yes, there is a Pub- licity Committee. They take care of sending out folders containing in- formation of the courses offered at K. C. I. The posters which adver- tise the opening of night school and those notices in the Kitchener Re- cord concerning the opening date of day school, come under the direc- tion of this committee. The School Board is the supreme authority of the school. Mr. Van de Water is in control of the finan- cial matters of K. C. I., while Mr. Ziegler heads the instruction staff. He submits reports of decisions. reached at the teachers' meetings. to the Board. Now you have an idea of what the Board does and who its mem- bers are. Thanks to Mr. Yan de Water, who gladly helped in obtain- ing this information, and thanks to Mr. Cressman who gave his time so willingly. As to that question f why J, well that's been partly answered and it is also answered by the fact that through the staff and the Board. each student is able to claim that master key to the vo- cation ofthe future. 54 THE GRUMBLER

The Major Play I A Flight of Fancy -Broadway - 1950 -the com- pletely happy moment has ar- rived. The audience waiting breathlessly for the curtain to rise on that superbly enacted play-no - not Oklahoma -not Carousel- but that play of plays, comedy of comedies, June Mad directed by the now famous Mr.A.J. O'ConneIl. A glance at the programme re- veals that it is the same happy cast that played for six nights to packed houses in the Kitchener Collegiate Auditorium in 1945. New York acclaims-A Record Achievement Z II June Mad, 1945 Rehearsals- From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily mem- bers of the cast met with Mr. O'Connell in the auditorium or- somewhere? Let us listen in- Dr. Wood CBill Lahnb is to enter from door left reading paper. He will come to the stairs where Millie Lou fAnnalies Janzenj sits waiting for Mervyn tHarvey Riedlingerb. The Doctor should almost tumble over Milly Lou, then step back in surprise and annoyance. Now listen- Dr. Wood- Oh, excuse me. Milly Lou. Milly Lou- Oh, that's alright Dr. Wood, I guess this is just about as much your home as it is mine. In the first try Dr. Wood forgets to stumble-in the second he stum- bles too Well and Milly Lou laughs and can't say her line-in the third the Doctor fails to show surprise- in the fourth-but well, so it goes until the scene is just right. Then follows scene upon scene-patience and perseverence conquer and the important night has come. PEGGY XAIRN. A XIII B III The Play Goes On The central figure about whom the plot is woven is Penny Wood CPat Shantzj. She is a pretty young girl of fifteen who tries very hard to grow herself up. Her difficulties are legion. Mervyn CI-IarveyRiedlingerD her twenty-one year old uncle insists on calling her t'Slats in front of wealthy Roger Van Vleck fHugh Cowiej, and also. in the presence of the great 'Cos- mopolite', Chuck fSigmund Rezet- nikj her local boy friend humiliates her as he remarks, Where do you get that one stuff? Julie Harris CPeggy Nairnb the charming sweet- heart of Mervyn, is, like Penny. swept off her feet by the dashing Roger, who, unlike Chuck, has no glider to distract his attention. For guidance and comfort Penny can always turn to her mother. Mrs. Wood CJoan Barberj. Poor Mrs. Wood always has 11LlIT1Q1'0l.lS self- invited extras for dinner! Dr. Wood CBill Lahnj on one occasion falls under the spell of June Mad. Yes, the moon affected more than Penny. Chuck's father, Mr. Harris CReginald Schedlerj persistently opposes his son's flights, but finally loses his aversion and becomes a glider fiend himself. Milly Lou CAnnalies Janzenl drives Mervyn to distraction as she tags after him. She never gets her man, but How she loves him! Effie CFrances Rothaermelj and Elmer ttlohn Johnston? provide constant amuse- ment. How Eifie's slip does slip- Oh, chestnuts , and how Elmer embarrasses Mervyn- Oh Boy Oh Boy! Shirley CUrith Seymour? and Ralph Wentworth fDonald Taylor? amply extol the value of orchids and. as dinner guests, they help to complicate matters for Mrs. Wood. 56 THE GRUMBLER
