of the exeellent portrayal ot Josephine by Olive I1'mil.'1'ne. Her duet with Ralph, Refrain, audacious tar, was a memorable moment in the operetta. Here we had a sginpathetie appreeiation ot Josephine's unhappy plight. Digby l're1 s veijv fine tenor voice brought out the best in the role of the love siek foretop hand, Ralph Raekstraw, the pride of the Royal Navy, the eternally wonderful il4lI'1,Q'llSllIH2lI1. Onee again we were treated to the lovely soprano voiee ot f'arnl flrnlima. It was a pleasure to hear her sing' Poor Little Buttercup. Scott fllf-Neill did justiee to the role of the stern, ambitious Capt. Corcoran. His rendition of Fair moon, to thee I sing . was perhaps the best solo peitormanee of the entire show. In all Hilbert and Sullivan produetions there is one eharaeter, halt' eomie, halt serious. This is a difheult role to play and yet Peter Puri'is gave a splendid rendition ot' this super- eilious ereature with his eoneeited attitude and pompous manners who in the end is levelled to his proper station. Who eould have been more arrogant than I'uri'is? Dare Beer was wonderful as the detested, det'ormed little seaman, Diek Deadeye, who is the personifieation of evil itself. IMi'f .s anties and movements were a true picture of the little monster. Finally there was the chorus. XVhile they did their job adequately one did desire more spirit and animation from them. The lighting, the sets, the costumes were all wonderfully adapted to a good Hilbert and Sullivan production. Twen ty-se Lien

rooters club HIS YEAR THE CLUB was composed mostly of old members and restricted invitations. The reason was to keep within the club certain members with a scientific interest and only invite new members of the same calibre. The result was that il completely scientific progrmn was adopted. E11 Ifif-Imrflson, our czxpzxhle Einstein authority, gave the cluh his views on the theory of relativity only losing' his listeners once or twice in his explmmtions. 'llhc best amateur ustronomist in Canada explained the mysteries of' the stars to us: Jlr. .i1t'Llll'1'H continued from last year to pass on to us his interest in the heavens. The trips were divided into two this year. Those who were in their last year at Pickering went to Clmlk River and saw the Atomic Reactors. Everybody went to llc Havillamd to sec the :is- semhly lines of C?lI12lf'i2l'S homemade aircraft. One ot' the hig' liigliligzlits was the speaker for our Final Banquet, Mr. Marino Frnresso, distribution engineer of Ontario Hydro, who talked on the history ot' hydro, alter he showed us the film of the same name. Many pertinent questions were asked and thorougrlily zmswercd. I :lm sure he would he wclconwl hack. Next year newer fields ot' scientific endeavour will he opened to members ot' our club. -DAVE BEER Twenty-nine
