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. SECOND YEAR LITERARY SOCIETY The Second Year Literary Society enjoyed a very successful year. Four meetings were held, each one proving a great success. The oflicers elected were as follows: President-Ervin Webster. ci

COMMERCIAL ANNEX HISTORY OF THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Three short years ago, the Commercial Department, com- prised only 27 students and one teacher, occupying only one room. Today the total enrolment is 17-5 students and 4 teachers, occupying 5 rooms. It is expected that next fall will see an enrolment of over 200, which will necessitate additions to the staff and in all probability a new building will be required. Three years ago only one course was offered, today a student has a choice of four, leading to bookkeeping, accountancy, stenography and secretarial Work. Our graduates do not experience difficulty in getting positions as Regina business men are realizing more and more each year the efficiency of our courses, and, as a consequence, of our students. No less than 250 students have been placed in positions during the three years at an average salary of approximately 31965.00 per month.
