It was presented by a double cast of fifteen, a dancing chorus of sixteen, and a singing chorus of thirty. The plot centers around the search for a beautiful girl by a talent scout of the Super- Supreme Film Production Company of Holly¬ wood. He arrives at Bagdad by plane, accom¬ panied by two mechanics who are the fun makers of the plot. A law has been passed that anyone carrying a camera in Bagdad was to be executed before dawn. After many amusing episodes by the talent scout, American tourists, an English Lord and the local girls, the daughter of the Caliph — Jewel — is found to be the beautiful girl they are searching for. She is recognized by an amulet she wears around her neck. Characters in order of appearance: Mrs. J. Horace McCann— An American Consul. Josie La Tessa and Mae MacDonald were well suited to the part. Elsa McCann — Her daughter. Helen Lawton and Eleanor Ogar (Typical American girls) sang in some smart num¬ bers with the “mechanics”. Anne Blackwell — Elsa’s friend. Marion Potosky and June luglis—both very good singers. Archie Fitzgibbons — from Old London. Eugene Ursalek and Alfred Alessi played the part of an English Romeo—by jove— humorously. Zelinda— dancer.

The Aisembly Entertainment Committee wishes to thank all the pupils and classes that have taken part in the various assemblies. We wish to extend thanks to Mr. Ross for allowing time for the programmes, a special thanks to Mr. Nelson under whose supervision the programmes were arranged, and to Mr. Sirrs for his efforts with the sound equipment. We hope all have enjoyed our efforts and that next year we shall have bigger and better programmes each fortnight. HOLIDAY IN TURKEY CREEK By M. SAVVICH It was really a holiday for the W. L). Lowe students were presented with a program by gals of C4-B. Their programme consisted of: ASSEMBLIES... Assemblies at our school provided a good deal of entertainment this past year. They were largely sponsored by various classes and later by the VV. D. Lowe Assembly Entertainment Committee consisting of Bill Sasso. our genial master of ceremonies, Joyce Harwood, Reta Core, Chuck Maxim, Janet Hick, Martha Sa- wick, and Ruth Curtis. The first program was a Christmas play sponsored by Cl-B. which was based on a sorority in the present and future. Jolly Janet Dick, as Santa ' , was really enjoyed by the audience. Oh, yes! Dolly Ostrowski, our talen¬ ted dancer, really looked like a beautiful dolly as she favoured us with a graceful ballet. The play, written by Miss O ' Donoglnie. was both humorous and educating, dealing with Voca¬ tional Guidance. When the “Open the Door. Richard di- lcma knocked around our school at the begin¬ ning of February, the Assembly Committee got busy with a skit based on the musical novelty. The play was directed by Bill Sasso. and writ¬ ten by Martha Sawick. The boys of T3-B presented a program 1. 1 he Windsor Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Red Head Re”j 2. A chorus girl line-up with their version of a dance. 3. The Triple S Sad Sack Sisters sang. You Are My Sunshine . 4. A piano duet Chinese Concerto in Yellow . 5. An intrumental duet by two boys of the Technical classes. 6. A piano solo of Begin the Begine” In- Audrey Sylvain. By the way. the whole audience roared with laughter — this show will be long remem¬ bered. next: they based their skit on Vocational Guid¬ ance. It illustrated Finding a Job , and was written by Harold Wagner, and directed by Mr. Nelson. The play was a very constructive one, showing types of characters seeking a job: the slouch, the unrefined playboy, the fibber, and several other good and bad factors noticeable in many who seek a position. We also had a clar inet solo for classics which was greatly en¬ joyed. For variety we had a Quiz with Bill Sasso as quiz master. It was called “Sixty-four page Questions”: the prize was a copy of the Year Book. I
