i M. H. S. REVIEW Page Thirty-Five Zlihe Zlaigb Qrbuul QBrchzstra Our school orchestra this year was again a success but not nearly as successful as last year. At the beginning of the term, things looked dark in regards to having an orchestra, however, Bailey scoured the school for talent and was rewarded by finding a few dark horses. In other years M.H.S. has had some very good orchestras and plenty of material. But this year we have fallen down. In a school like ours surely we ought to be able to have an orchestra, second only to Paul Whiteman and his band. Can't we revive the old spirit 'Z However under the very able leadership of Philip Bailey, it is well organized and its selections are always delightful and greatly appreciated. The Orchestra : Dorothy Angle ,........... Piano Udine Parker ............ Violin Philip Bailey. .Saxaphone and Leader George Marsh ............. Banjo Laurence Grise ............ Traps The Sljielh In 1924 there was donated to the school by Dr. and Mrs. T. J. Johns- ton,a shield.

Page Thirty-Four M. H. S. REVIEW Drawing a breath of relief, Mark said, Well, I guess that's enough for one night. I'll skin this lynx and then welll go back to the camp. This suggestion was readily accepted, and a short time later, silence again reigned supreme in the little hunting camp, 'broken only by Mark's snoring and the sighing of the wind in the trees above. On the wall of the cabin, a magnificent wild-cat skin lay stretched on a board, mute evidence that Jack had come through in an emergency. At any time since then, whenever his brothers are inclined to think him morally weak, the memory of that night proves to them, that under the cover of a nervous temperament Jack concealed a bravery and a courage which had withstood the acid-test of a desperate emergency which few men would care to experience. MARCEL BELLEHUMEUR Qthiturs' Qtunhnzntinn. According to appointment by the Executive of the Literary Society, our Editor, Eileen Chew, attended the second annual convention of the Editors of Collegiate Publications held in Toronto in November, 1927. This convention was held under the auspices of Sigma Delta Chi, pro- fessional journalistic fratcrnity of editors of collegiate publications, with the co-operation of Sigma Phi and the Department of University Extension. Over ors assembled in every large town The purpose Convocation Hall. The delegates came from and city in Ontario. two hundred editors, their assistants and staff advis- almost of the Convention was the various problems confront- ing the High School, journalist and the elevation generally of the stand- ards of Collegiate papers in Ontario. , During the Convention, which lasted two days, the delegates were addressed by many -prominent speakers. Their speeches were very interesting, very instructive and very helpful. Dif- ferent groups from time to time visited the down-town press. in which the daily papers are edited. On the last morning of the Con- vention, a general discussion was held. Perhaps this was the most help- ful part of the Convention. During the discussion, it was suggested that a prize be offered for the best edited Year Book in Ontario. We have just been informed that this suggestion has been made a reality. Nor was the social side of the Convention neglected. The first night of the Convention the delegates were tendered a banquet by the down-town press. The last afternoon, they were the guests of the Sponsors of the Convention, at the Royal Winter Fair and Horse Show. In all, the Convention was a commendable success and we under- stand there is to be a third one this year.
