THE TECH. ORCHESTRA This year our Tech. Orchestra was again under the direction of Mrs. Graham B. Paynter and Mr. M, J. Tomlinson, the Staff repre¬ sentative. We enjoyed one of our most successful seasons. Credit¬ able performances were given at both the School Banquet and Oper¬ etta. The Orchestra was augmented by a number of Mrs. Paynter’s students of violin which assisted greatly. New music was acquired and the ground laid for an even more successful season next year.

Page 28 EMERY WEAL The 24th Annual Tech. Banquet, held at the Palliser Hotel on the eve of February 1st, may easily be summed up in one short phrase —to use the language of our forefathers, the early Westerners, it was “A Rip Roaring Success”. The student attendance was almost one hundred per cent, and the banquet hall was filled to capacity. Everyone seemed to have a gay time. Under the capable and energetic chairmanship of Mr. Farrend, a willing committee, a co-operative student body, and a very helpful staff, everything combined to make the evening a truly successful and memorable one. After the dinner and program, a dance was held in one of the ballrooms where, under the skillful persuasion of Bruce Bristowe’s Orchestra, young and old tripped the gay fantastic until the wee hours of the morning. Some there were, no doubt, who arose the next morning with a feeling of being slightly the worse for wear. It was undoubtedly an evening to be remembered, and few would hesitate to attend a similar evening’s entertainment should the opportunity again present itself. THE 24th ANNUAL TECH. BANQUET
