Le Club Frangais Essayons de souligner en moins d'une page, espace qui nous est reserve, les ACTIVITES du groupe de francais. En octobre et en novembre nous avons profite de nos rencontres pour monter quelques saynetes que nous avons presentees a la salle academique en decembre. Au programme figuraient les numeros suivants: QUI PERD GAG-NE, LE REQUISITIONNAIRE, quelques poemes et chants mimes, un film com- mente et comme piece de resistance L'ECOLE NORMALE DE 1927 ou nous nous en sommes donnes a coeur joie a caricaturer les professeurs actuels. Depuis Noel nous avons essaye nos ailes dans d'autres domaines. Les poetes a 1'oeuvre ont su creer de veritables chef-d'oeuvres. Nous le groupe de francais tenons a nous distinguer, non comme groupe a part, mais voulons bien nous inserer au sein de tout groupe existant, et par notre gaiete et notre enthousiasme, etre de vrais ambassadeurs de la belle langue seconde que nous comptons enseigner des septembre prochain.

.B.T.C. Choir rf' vi This year some 75 voices under the direction of Mr. Curtis, enjoyed an active musical season. Officers were elected early in the year: President, Bonnie Mallettg Vice-President, Christine Lundyg Secretary-Treasurer, Nancy Merrittg Librarian, Constance Belsitog Attendance Officer, Edwin Nichollsg Pianists, Colleen Orr and Margaret Rodgers. A very active season was opened with a Christmas day television programme over CFCH. The choir also performed at the Christmas assembly. In the New Year the choir entertained the old folks at Cassellholme and the patients at the Ontario Hospital. At the year's end, we participated in the Kiwanis Music Festival and also sang for the closing exercises of the college in May. All was not work for the choir. A sleigh ride was enjoyed by all the members, and a hot supper followed. A great deal of time and work was put into each rehearsal and performance but the musical experience was most rewarding to all members. 63

The Red Cross Club Christmas 1967 was a memorable one for sixty-eight children at the Longlac Indian Day School because of the efforts of the Red Cross Committee. Through the hard work of this committee and the enthusiastic response of the student body, gifts were sent to the girls and boys at the Longlac School to help brighten an otherwise dull Christmas Day. The delight of the children was reflected in the thank- you letters received after Christmas and proudly displayed in the halls in the college. Although this was the only major project the Red Cross Club had time to deal with this year it was considered extremely successful.
