DRAMATICS “THE WHOLE T STORY In the field of dramatic entertainment this year we had a hilarious comedy. The Whole Town ' s Talking , directed by Mr. Charles Mur¬ ray. It was presented by a very capable cast of students from our school. W e had so many brilliant actors and actresses in our midst that some parts of the cast were doubled. When the curtain opens we learn that Mr. Simmons wants to marry his daughter to his junior partner in business. But Chester Binney, the partner, is the kind of bachelor no woman would want. He is such a blank , says Mr ' . Simmons, that every time he comes in it seems that someone has gone out . Mr. Simmons has a theory that every woman wants the man that every other woman wants, and conceives the plan of inventing a few love affairs for the un¬ romantic Chester. But with whom? From a hook shop they select at random some photo¬ graphs of beautiful women. These turn out to he the Queen of Rumania, the Mona l.isa. and Lctty Lythe. the movie star. However. I.ettv is selected and the story is allowed to leak out. In no time at all the whole town is talking and all the girls are falling for Chester left and right. In the midst of his glory. Lctty l.vthc comes to town accompanied by her fiance, who happens to he a prize-fighter. Then trouble starts for poor old Chester, hut he weather s the storm to win Kthcl in the end. —By DOREEN REDDAM.

• W.S.S.A. FINALS The Vocational Rough Riders (as usual) and Kennedy Clippers were the teams lined up for the W.S.S.A. Vocational showed their su¬ periority by whizzing the puck past the Clip¬ pers’ goalie six times while Kennedy put it past Vocational’s goalie only three times. The second game of the series was the most exciting and nerve grinding of the entire season. At 8:50 of the third period, Vocational was trail¬ ing by one goal and needed two to win. So Elmer Skov saw this and took the puck from Martin Zorica and scored. Then Elmer got a pass from Dick Bendick and pulled the goalie out and trickled the puck in the open goal at 19:00. The star of the W.S.S.A. Finals was Elmer Skov. Facts About The Hockey Team— Guess who the two players are who spent the most time in penalty box, yes, that ' s right, Martin and Joe Zorica . . . The most gentleman player is Elmer Skov . . . The first official goal was scored by Elmer Skov. Elmer ' s brother Glen made it last year . . . The first penalty was given to Joe Zorica . . .

For the third year in succession, Vocation¬ al ' s brilliant hockey team remained undefeated. No words we know could express praise enough for captain Martin Zorica and his team. The hockey schedule for the 48-49 season started on December 15, 1948, with Tech lined up against Sandwich, whom we defeated 5 to 3. The next game was against Assumption whom we trampled 9 to 2. Then, after trampling As¬ sumption, we walked all over Patterson 7 to 0. Then came the toughest team we found to beat — Walkerville—they held us to a 3 to 3 tie. Kennedy, the second place team, met us, but we defeated them too—6 to 2. We had played every team in the league now and we started all over. We met Sandwich again and plastered them 7 to 2. Patterson and Assumption came up to meet us and went down to a tune of 9 to 1 and 4 to 2 respectively. We met Walkerville again and made up for the tie in the first game by edging them 4 to 3. Around Kennedy came again, and again we spanked them 4 to 1. This completed the schedule for the 48-49 season. The next games we played were the Semi-Final Playoffs.
