School Clubs Continued from Page 30 Science Club Again this year the Tech Science Club has enjoyed a fine season of operations under the leadership of Messrs Morsvick and Merriam and our capable President Manson Thompson. Throughout the school year we have held meetings twice a month with various other ac- tivities coming between, such as field trips about the city to see our local industries in action, planning and preparation for the Spring Prom and our part in the Annual Concert. Individual experimenting in the labs. ensured the keen interest of the members in the club. The big event in our program is the field trip to some point of scientific interest out of town, taken once a year. In 1948 we visited the Angus Plant in Montreal, and in 19-i9 the Hydro project at Des joachims. The Executive under President Manson Thompson were Vice-President, Howard Roche 3 Secretary, Bob Shone g Treasurer, Norman Tape, and Dance Convener, Ross Iwlorton. -BOB SHONE Film Society This year the Film Society is under the direction of Mr. C A. Yeo. The executive is as follows: President, M. Lightstoneg Vice-President, M. Banchini, Secretary, john Moore, Treasurer, Harry Barber, Director of Edu- cational Films,-jim Clemens, Director of Athletic Films, jack Fenning, Director of Guidance Films, Bruce Straby. During the winter the Film Society tried to put on a show every Wednesday afternoon in the auditorium. Among the many varieties of films shown there were travel, instructional and guidance films, as well as a few cartoons. The Society also shows films at the fun nights. At the weekly meetings, the members are instructed in using the projector as well as being given other in- formation on projection. Interesting talks were given by Mort Lightstone who is an authority on the subject, for he has his license. -IOHN MOORE Junior Craftsmen's Club Our highly informative Club under the capable dir- ection of Mr.Willis and Mr. Hammond is for the benefit of printers only. As a group, we visit numerous printing establishments to increase our knowledge. Like any other conscientious club, we too have differ- ent forms of recreation which include stag and mixed parties and sports. The success Q I hopej of this organization is due to the combined efforts ofour hard-working committee with Gilbert I,aHaise, President g Martin Lebrun, Vice-Presi- dent , Bill Neale, Secretary-Treasurer 3 Bill Frieday, Social Rep. 1 Craig Pratt, Sports Rep. g and to the whole-hearted co-operation of our members. -GIL LAHAISE 62 Public Speaking Club One of the least talked about but most talkative of clubs is the Public Speaking Club. Its executive is com- prised of Hugh Morelaud, President g Ron Heatley, Vice- President ,joseph Lackner, Secretary. The purpose of the club is to train its members in the noble art of oratory. Opportunities are offered members to give both impromptu and prepared speeches. Construc- tive criticism and helpful pointers are supplied by both Mr. Shouldice and Mr. Robbie who sponsor the club. The instruction is valuable and should be taken advantage of by more students as public speaking is an asset to anyone. -j. LACKNER Craft Club The Craft Club has been meeting weekly in room 224. The Executives are President, M. Lightstoneg Vice-Presi- dent, Keith Davidson, and Secretary, Carl Fox. Among the crafts offered are leathetwork, woodcarving and shell craft.

O'Donnell, hats off and a warm hand shake for this, his fifteenth production, was one of very linest, and he deserves far more praise than could ever be written on paper. Here's hoping that his next play is as good as this year's. I School Concert-Pram Page 32 On stage, efficient Tech Scientists under M.C Hugh Moreland worked with a million volts of electricity before our astonished eyes. A modified hydrogen bomb gave the sketch a real bang up-job ending. The Trudel brothers, Ray and Larry, vocalized togeth- er in The Desert Song and Girl of My Dreams while with guitar, piano accordion and banjo Maurice, jean and and Ray, the three Lauzon brothers, displayed a smooth 1950 touch to the traditional old cowboy music. They exemplified a free and easy style. Perfect timing and exact physical co-ordination re- sulted in a marvelous demonstration of tumbling by the Gym Team. Smart somersaults, flips, cartwheels, and handstands had the audience ohing and ahing . Sparkling entertainment added to the success of the night in the form of an original one-act musical comedy William Tell . This original piece'was composed by the famous playwright team of Miss Anne Quinlan and Mr. Charles Monk. The play was acted to such songs as: When a Sheperd wants to whistle , It's a Great Coun- try We Live In , My Switzerland and They are being married tomorrow The leads were played by Dot Francis as Suzan, a Swish Swiss miss 3 Robertjuneau, Michael Tell, son of William Tell ,Roger Laframboise as William Tell, the watchmaker ,jack Donaldson as Gessler.

STOP THE PRESS! just as we strike our copy deadeline, the grapevine brings us the unhappy news that two staff members of our Physical Education Department will sever their conf nection with our school at the end of the term. Mr. Bill L'l'leureux, who joined Tech's staff in 1945, has the enviable record of having coached five champion- ship Rugby teams since that time. Mr. Al Smith, who came to us a year later, also has a perfect score to his credit with four championships. Mr. L'Heureux turned out Hockey champions as well, while Mr. Smith lent his further talent to the development of Track and Field stars and the winning of Basketball championships. Mr. L'Heureux now goes to Western University, London, where he will assist in the Physical Education Department. Mr. Smith goes to Weston Collegiate and Vocational School, Weston, to join its Department of Physical Education. With sincere regret at the loss of these two excellent leaders, we, nevertheless, wish them continued success in thier new positions. We are grateful to both for the conf tiibution they have made to our school. - Good luck, Bill and Al ! -HOWARD ROCHE Teeh's Three Basketball Teams-c....f.....1f.....
