ORCllESTRA NEWS The orchestra is increasing in size each year, and this year the instrumentation is practically complete except for the oboe and the bassoon 3 otherwise we have a repre- sentation of all the instruments which are necessary to combine to make the orches- tra sound as it should. But we have not by any means reached a capacity size, because there is alwavs room for new members. This year there are nineteen violins. two cellos. two bass viols, one viola, five cornets. two flutes, two clari- nets. three saxophones, one trombone. a set of drums, the bells and a piano, mak- ing forty instruments in all as compared with thirty-two last year. The addition of the trombone and viola are greatly assist- ing the orchestra. The bass section will be strengthened this year by another bass viol. Those who were students at the school last year will notice how much the violin section has increased its numbers. The orchestra attained a great deal of success during the school year 1932-33, playing at various times in the auditorium, such as at morning exercises and literary society meetings. At another time the orchestra played at an evening service in Knox United Church. To add to this list of achievements. this organization helped to make the school dramatics a success by playing the orchestration for the operetta. Hulda of Holland. The or- chestra hopes to go on to even greater accomplishments this year and, with the support of each and every individual, I SOUTH C. I. am sure that it will do so. Even now plans are being made for a concert which the orchestra intends to put on about the iirst of December. Several musicians who have graduated from South will be with us that night to help. This is one of the biggest programmes which the orchestra has ever undertaken, and it will, to all appearances, be a great success. The orchestra has felt the need of some new equipment this year because of the decided increase of members, so it has purchased several new stands, equipped with lights, also a bass viol and a cello. Many new members have joined us this year and the orchestra wishes to thank those musicians who have answered Mr. Byle's appeal to join our diligent but happy group. Although new ones are coming, old ones are leaving, and we are sorry to say that we have lost from our ranks such reliable members as Owen Cousins, Don Morrison, Jack Crone, Howard Philips, George Ross, Alfred Cave and Louis Hayes. This year's officers are: Honorary president, Mrs. Carr-Harrisg honorary vice-presidents, Howard Dicks and Bill Chambersg president, Bill Hartryg vice- president, Christine Aitken, secretary- treasurer. John McNeil, roll clerks, Robert Calvert and Wilfred Dicks: librarians, Gordon Kidd and Walter Steeper, and property committee, Max Anderson and Harold McGillivary. W. D., III D. page forty-nine

Tlie Urlcli estra lpiriniilc A little after school was over, one June 1st, 1933, the thirty-odd members of the orchestra were in transit, with Well-filled lunch baskets, to that shady picnic spot on the stream near Kilworth Qwhich everyone has heard ofl. We Were pleased to have as our guests Mrs. Carr-Harris, Mrs. Byles and Jackie. On arriving at Kilworth even Mr. Cal- vert could not resist the temptation of rolling up his pants-legs, removing his shoes and socks, and wading around in the cool, refreshing stream, after his hard day's work. Most of othe other boys and girls were not long in following. Poor little Bobby Morgan, in crossing the stream on stones, unfortunately stepped on one unable to bear his enormous weight and as a result had to go around in wet socks all evening. Meanwhile the majority of the boys had journeyed down to the ole swimmin' hole and were refreshing themselves and working up an appetite for the supper, served in regular camp style by our English chefs, Mr. Byles and Jack Crone. After stuffing ourselves to the bursting point with hot dogs, bacon, rolls. bread and butter, cake, lemonade, olives and last, but not least. ice cream. and after a hearty game of ball, the picnic was adjourned, when we returned to the city, tired and happy. I am sure everyone present Will join with me in saying that the picnic was an immense success. CClap! Clap! Claplj -R. CALVERT, III D. Dramawtirs Under the capable management of Mrs. Carr-Harris, a short play was put on dur- ing the programme of the 1933 At Home. The old-fashioned costumes and white Wigs lent a touch of unusual charm and quaintness to the play, The Favours of My Lady Leone. The players consisted of Libby Pegg as Lady Lean, Ernie Grove as handsome Ferrars, the Prince, Freddie Haysom as Dubois, the elder friend of the Prince, John Gordon as the fussy fat man, Ross Miller, the Kirgg and Barry Hunt, a courtier. If the play could be deemed a success, it was only through the untiring efforts of Mrs. Carr-Harris and the effect pro- duced by her upon each player. -LIBBY PEGG, IV A. -,,, 7-.
