Jhe cJLimelit eri The Limeliters is a school club composed of a small group of students under a staff sponsor, who arrange trips to various theatrical performances within a fair distance from the school. Our purpose is to promote an interest in theatrical performances in the school and to show the diversity that these theatrical performances can show. Many students of high- schools are not well enough acquainted with the theatre to know what it can offer, nor get out to see performances. The Limeliters club tries to get out to as many different kinds of good theatre as possible at costs which are reasonable. The club has promoted visits to a wide range of performances this year. Baker Street was a bright, merry musical comedy while The Deputy was starkly dramatic. Next Time I ' ll Sing to You was a completely different form of theatre in that it was a contemporary look at man ' s motivation. The French Amour Medecin was a break with the usual English, while My Fair Lady was a change from the live theatre. Diversity was present in the types of theatres, the performances were held in. For those who attended Next Time I ' ll Sing to You at the Coach House Theatre the intimate atmosphere will long be remembered as a contrast to the bright, gaudy appearance of the O ' Keefe Center. By this diversity we try to provide something for most people, at least some of the time. We think we ' ve succeeded, and we will continue to try. GOING BELL IS GREAT GOING! After High School, what? Plenty! The Bell can give grads valuable assistance toward finding a suitable career. And, while you train in the job of your choice it ' s full pay! Come on down to the Bell Office, even before you graduate. If it ' s college for you, great! We ' ll gladly tell you about opportunities waiting for you at the Bell when you ' ve graduated.

SCHOOL EVENTS 1964-65 Sept. 8 - First Day of School Once again our happy, frolicking, summer-holiday loving students joyfully embraced the fun and adventure of a new year of school life with joy and a sincere confidence that nothing could be worse than last year. Sept. 11 - Initiation Day and Dance As the veteran students of MCVI filed through the hallowed halls on the way to classes, the poor, unsuspecting frosh were squirming in their audit- orium chairs, and being subjected to the worst torture possible: The preparatory stages of Initiation Day. Black Friday was held on Sept. 11th and the Frosh were put to work carrying books, shining shoes and whatever other stunts were thought up by the Seniors. At the dance, the delinquent frosh were punished by the embarrass- ment of having to perform on the stage. Doug Clifford Sept. 19 - Stratford Trip On Saturday, Sept. 19 64, Mr. Jocelyn ' s home town, the beautiful Stratford-on-Avon was again overrun by the Oshawa chapter of the Shakespeare Fan Club. After visiting the downtown area we walked along the beautiful Avon river-bed. Maybe next year there will be some water in it. At the theatre that afternoon, we saw Richard II played by William Hutt. This is the story of the weak, vacillating Richard, who was the annointed King and Henry Bolingbroke (played by Leo Clceri) who took the crown. After a smorgasbord dinner at the Victorian Inn, those who had not lost their tickets, saw an admirable performance of King Lear, with John Colicos in the lead. We watched the gradual dis- integration of Lear ' s reason, leaving him totally insane. Lear does regain his sanity late in the play only to die, with Cordelia his one true daughter. Lear has been described as a play about the world ' s capacity to hurt and man ' s capacity to suffer and endure. Whatever it was about, it was great. Tom Russell Sept. 30 - Election assembly speeches Oct. 2 - Election Dance Throughout the evening the tension mounted as members of the Scalar and Vector parties anx- iously awaited the results of a very hard and short election campaign. The outcome as everyone knows, was a landslide victory for the Scalars. John Stewart Doug Simkins John Johnston Doug Dobney Terry Glecoff Sharon Smith Peter Richardson Susan Mason The Vectors then became the loyal opposition in this year ' s Parliament. After all the hand-shaking, the new Cabinet settled down to enjoy themselves for the remainder of the evening. For the first time, the spot dance prizes were school rings and pins. This dance was well organized and very profitable.
