The Senior Lit. of 1922-23 has been the nucleus of all activities in the R.C.I., owing to the efforts of our most efficient executive. The honoured members of this select committee are: William Mclilmoyle, president, who conducts all meetings in a brilliant manner. Owing to Bill's strenuous efforts the Senior Lit. has been a wonderful success. Reta McDonald, vice president, who has never been called upon to take the chair, but has been meekly waiting for the opportunity. Glover Howe, secretary treasurer, who, on account of his honesty has been allowed full control of all the financial matters of the Senior Lit. CB-ank account of Senior Lit.-25 centsb.

Every year adds on its store- But thou hast it all, and more. Mr. B-- sedately rises, But there are in store surprises, Suddenly his hat, too tight, y Splits its sides to left and right, Now with learned eloquent tongue His noble speech is just begun, When they see him with pain turn yellow Tearing from his head the, halo, And his friends in horror see That his head must bandaged bo, If they wish to save his life Till he meets his loving wife. Larger ever his head increases, Steadily, and never ceases. Hands are now in anguish wrung, For they hear an awful HBANGH Darkness follows quick, Mr. B-- falls like a brick, Hits his head against a chair, Soon forgets he mustn't swear, Clambers up and rubs his head- Must have dreamed that I was dead, Awful sleepy-had a fall. Moral: You don't know it all. T T Bei IT a Waich, a Diamond or a Piece of jewelry K - 0 .. e of, f P1-:cc H . Succcssors to . I-IICKS 6 PENTZ We Have a Large Selection IS49 Scarth Street Regina 59

3B-Archie.Little, who is noted for his orations. 3C-Russel Dupuis, a noted artist and violinist, who, strange to say, never lets his hair grow long. 3D-Edwin Gardiner, well known baritone soloist. Last but Foremost- Mr. Austin Bot-hwell-who belongs to Regina's Roosters' Club. He can accustom himself to most any life, as he took the part of the hidden villain in a seaside roma-nee. The Senior Lit. hold-s its meetings in the auditorium of the R.C.I. once a month at 3.15. There has been three successful meetings this year, at each meeting a playehas been presented by the students of either the senior or middle school. The first play was a great success. It kept the audience ingreat suspense and in the highest ecstasies of glee. The leading parts were taken by Jean Peart, Reta McDonald, Marjorie Jones, W. McElmoyle, R. Rosenthal, M. Givins and Mr. Bothwell. The play was under the supervision of Miss Leech and Mr. Bothwell. The next play was a comic play taken from the book f'Sevcn- teen, put on by the students of 413. This play was very realistic as all of those who have read Seventeen will know. The last Senior Lit. meeting was a wonderful success, having five numbers on the programme. The first number was a play called Sham by the following dramatists: Miss Dorothy Finley, Russel NVatson, Bert King and John Campbell. The second number was a balloon dance by Mary Thompson and Isobel Mutch. CThe success of the dance was partly owing to the exclusively harmonious syncopations on the piano by Miss Gladys Englandj Gwing to the musical ability of the R.C.I. students the musical numbers were the most outstanding. Of these were Miss Dorothy Hughes, who rendered f'The Little Red School House and f'Sleepy Town, Mr. W. Brown, a violinist, and The Sterling Five, consisting of A. Swanston, L. Muirhead, R. Dupuis, G. Mahoney, H. Egg. We all sincerely hope that the next Senior Lits. to come will be equally as successful as ours. CSecretary-Glover Howeb.
