The March recital brought to the stage Mr. Poul Bai, who is always very popular at Pickering, in selections from his vast repertory of songs in all the European tongues. The last concert of the series featured the twofpiano talent of Messrs. Scott Malcolm and Reginald Godden, who gave a brilliant offering and answered two curtain calls. The same evening they were enjoyed by the boys in an allfrequest programme. In the afterfdinner concerts Mr. Frank Murch was frequently heard in short recitals. Accompanied at the piano by Miss Gwen. Williams, Mr. Adolph Koldofsky, first violinist in the Toronto Symphony Crchestra, favoured us with two or three excellent concerts consisting of wellfknown preludes, dances and so forth. Early in the year Messrs. Malcolm and Godden gave a group of piano duets, and later Mr. Malcolm was heard in solos. An innovation in music took the form of a marimbafxylophone duet by boys from the Junior Vocational School, Toronto, accmpanied by their instructress. In the vocal realm Mr. Bai raised his voice in joyful song to the accompaniment of Mr. Murch, who later presented his mother. After dinner on the last Sunday of term, Mr. Adolph Wantroff, barif tone, sang a number of songs in Russian and English. His songs were much appreciated. Later in the day he sang to an informal gathering in the headf masterls house and in the evening, at Chapel. E rose from his pile of figures. TH E Gentlemen! he cried, in a proud, triumphant voice. -- Gentleme'n! Our work is done. We have at last discovered and proved the true theory of the earth's creation, and the beginning of all substance-the 'Lamour' ray. For fifteen long years we have laboured hard to unearth this source of life, which from the beginning of time has baffled all research, for fifteen long years we've been damned by society, and cursed by their gods for our conceptions, but now, now our turn has come, now we can laugh, can laugh at all of them and their ludicrous superstitions-at their doctrines of God,-brotherly love-forgiveness of sins-Christ, Heaven, . . . .Gentlemen! Let us drink to science and its wonders. The God of science took the throne. People no longer worshipped the Iztcnty-.sire
