THE .llI'SE , sg ii i .,- - - l. Eiga efiissa I' lil il? l ' f ' f ' A ., -vi il - - i 4 .. SOCIAL O far this year we have had three tea dances at the school. The first one was under the auspices of the Girls' Athletic Society and was held in December. The Literary Society sponsored the next which was held in the middle of January. The Muse was re- sponsible for the third one which took place near the end of February. They were all fairly well attended and I am sure everyone who was there had a good time. Jack Cooke's orchestra was in attendance at all the tea dances. The annual ex-pupils dance was held this year on February the twelfth. There was quite a large crowd present and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. A coloured spotlight playing on the dancer as they swayed to the rhythm of Harry Bedlington's Savarin orchestra completed a very pretty picture. In the cafeteria which was prettily decorated with red and white streamers, as was the auditorium. a delightful supper was served. The graduates dance which is given each year by the ladies of the Home and School Club to the fourth and fifth forms of the pre- vious year was certainly a success. Everybody who could possibly come did and those who failed to attend missed a wonderful evening. The Blue Rhythm Boys supplied the music and did it very well. I am sure that I will be seconded by everyone who was present as I now move a vote of thanks to the ladies of the Malvern Home and School Club for the delightful evening which was made possible for so many ot' us by their unfailing kindness. Commencement was held on an afternoon about the middle of November. Mr. Lehmann delivered a speech telling of the athletic and academic honours by our students in the past years. Mr. Hilton, Mr. Loftus Reid. and Mr. Brandon each made a few remarks which -.vcre followed by the presentation ot' diplomas, prizes, and athletic awards. Edgar Guest then told us in his own inimitable way of rugby, past and present. The bust of Mr. Lehmann which Cleeve Horne modelled last year was formally presented to the school. Our valedictorian this year was Reginald Watters and his subject was My live years at Malvern . -Doam LEARIE. NNI

THE JIVSE THE ART CLUB This year's Art Club has been organized more as a class than at club. At the tirst meeting it was decided to elect no officers, the entire time of every member being spent in proiitable work rather than talk- ing and planning. This lack of formality has produced a much larger membership than that of former years. At the first meetings the members of the Club began figure draw- ing in pencil, but with the acquisition of colour sets they swung into the more interesting still life painting in oil colours. Under the pains- taking guidance of Miss Knight they have surprised themselves with the quality of the work produced. There has, of course, been the usual group of students interested in clay modelling. They have made good use of the time spent in this work. If a suflicient general interest is aroused the Club hopes to spon- sor several talks by recognized Canadian artists, to be held in the audi- torium. This. of course. depends on the support of the entire school rather than on the Art Club itself. With the coming of warm weather the members expect to spend some time on outdoor sketching trips. These should produce some sketches worthy of a place over the mantel as well as providing a good deal of fun. -F. K.

Mr. Brown UR orchestra is having a very successful year under the able leadership of Mr. Brown, who has given much of his time in past years. Malvern is indeed fortunate in having such an enthusiastic and talented musical leader. Our opportunities of displaying our achievements have been con- siderably extended. For the first time there have been two assemblies per week instead of the usual weekly assembly. In this way we have been able to increase our contributions to these meetings. As in former years, our orchestra contributed the musical activi- ties at Commencement. We were also instrumental in making the annual Parents' night a success. It is unfortunate that there is no occasion in the latter part of the school year when we could further show our accomplishments. The enthusiasm of all has been demonstrated by the whole- hearted attendances at practices and assemblies, and everyone has benefitted to a large extent by the instruction and experience. Barbara Roberts. who acted as pianist of the orchestra, gradu- ated last year. and appreciation of her services and enthusiasm should be recorded here. -E. HANKS. l57l
