DRAMATIC SOCIETY Lynne Kerr For the second year the Drama Society was hard at work. In November they sponsored a trip to see My Fair Lady” at the O ' Keefe Centre in Toronto. This was done in conjunction with the Music Council and was a most enjoyable trip. In February, again with the Music Council, we sponsored Hillbilly Havoc, a riot of fun and dancing for everyone. This year the executive found it somewhat difficult to hold S tudio Nights as attendance was poor owing to the awkward hours. Therefore the Port Hope Comm¬ unity Theatre kindly adopted it and many of our members benefitted from the won¬ derful instruction at their studio nights. The executive this year was: President Lynne Kerr Vice President Sue Armstrong Secretary Carolyn Pollock Treasurer John Fowler Librarian-Historian Irene Benn We hope to be able to do still more work next year and take a no the r step in our climb up the ladder to prominence in High School activities.

March 2 PLAY NIGHT Lynne Kerr The second annual Play Night was held this year on Thursday, March 2. A g ood crowd of parents and friends came out to support the budding actors and ac¬ tresses. This year we produced two one-act plays n The Indian Giver and Grand¬ father Chair , which were directed by Mrs. Meeking and Miss Rigsby. Despite the late start this year both plays shaped up very well and provided a delightful evening. The Indian Giver began Play Night on a happy note of light family comedy. Ron Cameron was the outstanding member of the cast with his clearly spoken un¬ stilted lines. And surely we will never forget Jan (Aunt Vivian) Wrathall with her cat. The rest of the cast, Marie Hoskin, Carol Kerr, Joanne Neck, Annemieke Derkx, Heather Jardine and Michael Doody were all good. The results of Mrs. Meeking s many hours of careful direction were most gratifying. Grandfather ' s Chair , directed by Miss Rigsby held a moral for the aud¬ ience as well as good entertainment. Some of us may even have reviewed some History as a result of Miss Rigsby ' s rewriting of some of the lines. Carolyn Pollock as Mrs. Twining was good in her role although she lacked animation fre¬ quently. In David Murray a great and p 1 e a s i n g change could be seen from our Wilbur of a year ago. Angela Bathgate, Denise Greene, Dwight Elliott and John Fowler all played their parts well and did justice to all the work Miss Rigsby put into the play. At intermission Mary Lawson led a French sing-song in lieu of a French play. It was a most relaxing period between the plays and we hope to have more French in Play Night from now on. A special word of thanks must be given to Don Boughen and Jim Robinson who worked so very hard on sets. I can recall the hours of work repairing French doors and painting old stoves. Cathy Raynor was our wardrobe lady and a terrific help all the time and Mrs. L. Brown did make-up with the assistance of Liz Brown and Carol Robinson. Play night was a success and as we progress yearly the plays will improve and perhaps we can enter a drama festival. INDIAN GIVER Front Row: J. Neck, R. Cameron, P. Budge, Mrs. Meeking, M.
