F 1 ' z ink Rook HH the six years preceding 1931 the Literary Society had confined its activities to public meetings held in the auditorium. Last year however. Interest Groups were organized in the Society in an en- wamiii' to create more enthusiasm. ' This year through an experience the executive has found that the pupils want the clubs to remain. but at the same time desire that sex eral public meetings he held. Un the afternoon of January 1-1. a number of scenes from differ- ent Shakespearean dramas were presented in the school auditorium I-y Alan Wilkie and Miss Hunter Watts of Australia. The Iirst public meeting of the Literary Society took place on Tut-sday. February 23. A very fine programme was arranged. The in-vu Malvern Song rendered hy the Girls' Club was a complete success. Alix Silcox, a well-known lecturer throughout United States and Vanarla, entertained the audience with an interesting talk on The Two Americas.

THE MUSE In conclusion we extend to Miss McGregor our sincere thanks for her kindly counsel and encouragement. We are grateful to those of the staff who have assisted the various clubs and to Principal Carl Lehmann for his courtesy at all times to the executive of the Literary Society. VVith the whole school solidly behind us we are looking for- ward to the future with increased confidence. -J. POND. THE POETRY CLUB Adviser ..................................................... Miss Ingham President ......... ....... H elen Oram Secretary .................................................. Gladys Neale The Poetry Club meets twice a month under the leadership of Miss Ingham. At one meeting the original work of the members is read, criticized and discussed. The other meeting is for the study of some poet. on whose life one of the members prepares a paper. The first meeting of the month is held at the school. while the second may be held elsewhere. Last year we had a particularly delightful meeting at the Public Library, where an open fireplace added to our enjoyment. We are hoping for a similar meeting in the near future. -G. NEALE. DRAMATIC CLUB Adviser ......... ................................... R Iiss MacGregor President .................. ......... E d. McClure Business Manager ...... ...... H azel Godwin Secretary ................................................ Lydia Orlando The Dramatic Club this year is certainly not dragging through the general depression, on the contrary, ours is a period of boom and our programme has been fully carried out. 1 Two short plays are to be produced, and at our fortnightly meet- ings a representation of contemporary drama has been read. Our members are fairly familiar now with the works of Ibsen. Shaw. Rostand, Galsworthy and Maeterlinckg these great play- wrights having provided many interesting hours of reading up in S. We feel sure the club this year has been a success and we hope that Malvernites in the future will have the same splendid opportunity to develop their dramatic yearnings under Miss MacGregor's skilled supervision. -ED.
