SECOND Row: Barbara Champ, Carol Lamb, Peggy Dolmage, Mary Mathers, Mary Mclntosh. FRONT Row: Phyllis Huston, Ruth Myles, Joan Carruthers, Patricia McCarthy, Gwenyth Alsip This is a review of the play, The Two Bucks is for the Bunny or Pass the Glucose , presented by Grade X, which having run for approximately eight months, has finally come to a close. Under the alble direction of Miss Baker, the actors played their parts with melancholy madness and inimitalble ease. The plot was about twelve girls, all trying to live together for one year, in one room. Entering upon the famous scene, I found the actors engaged in their period of relaxation, which lasts from nine to four. I immediately began to in- terview the players and found each and -everyone to be interesting and likeable. First I approached Rabbit-skin Mathers and Giggles Dolmage whom I found, kept the girls supplied with information from the outside world during the year. Turning around, I found pert Pat McCarthy who gave an excellent portrayal of one being satisfied 'with life. and dying to go on. Over in one of the corners was Letters Lamb, busily doing her duty to -the Stamp Act. Thanks to her, the post office employees are not on relief. Behind her, I spied Soil-Proof McIntosh who amazed everyone with her immaculate little self and cheerful outlook on life. On the right. Hieroglyphic' Huston was des- perately trying to tell the difference between- la fenille dix-huit and axiom five. Back there, supporting the wall, was Steady Swindell, another equally ambitious actor whose jokes and emaciated humor were enjoyed by all -especially Termite Myles whom I found at the time, carrying on a sarcastic argument with one of the stage hands. But not to 'be neglected was Geekids Champ, This lucky player got pushed right back into 'the furthest corner. Obviously she had priorities to be in seclusion with a stucco wall all year. Next I melt Pen-eil Carruthers, the female Varga, whose enjoyment lay in drawing upon everything and anything at anytime. She was talk- ing to her close companion Skates Laidlaw- ibetter known as the walking Who's Who of Where? I thought I had concluded my interview when a curly-headed actor came hurrying into the room. Her arms were filled with books and she was over- flowing with apologies. But it seems What is Don' can not be UnDon. 'Thus have I completed my review of the play of the year. The .twelve actors having finished their successful production of Life in the Gulf. - happily bequeath the room to any strolling play- ers who might be interested in staying there a year. It's the -best stage in the school, so see your play is worthy of it. R.M.

FRONT Row: Cecily Ann Gunne, Barbara Lennox, Diane Johnson, Dorothy Jackson, Marilyn May, Marilla Reid., Joyce Stovel. GRADE VII CLASS NOTES We will attempt to describe to you: Our Grade Seven class, p-v: Our class teacher is Miss MacKay, Poor thing: having to listen to us all day, Amy's a boarder, tidy desks aren't for her, Sh-e 'comes from the north 'where they trap fur. Barbara Drybroiurgh has long red hair, Although she often wishes it wasn't there. Barbara Lennox, who Irene and Diane adore, Has very nice lelgs and plenty more. Cecily Ann's Fbest friend is who ..... ? There's not many things that she can't do. Clementine likes playing outdoors, And Miss MacKay, she really adores. Diane Johnson is tall and slim She is good at most subjects and also at gym. Dorothy from Regina comes, She's a real nice girl and full of fun. Irene Koppel has light brown eyes, She's fond of work and likes all the guys, Joyce Stovel likes drawing and is good alt it too, She can't talk without giggling and smiling at you. Marilyn May has long eye lashes: Lucky for her she doesn't wear glasses. GRADE VIII CLASS NOTES Experiment Perilous Olbject: to describe 'Gradle VIH tif POSSMJJEJ. Apparatus: Donina Y's hair, Eliza:beth's horses, Dauphne's Frenuch, iNan'cy's music, Donna P's complexion, Helen's vocabulary, Diane's notes t?J, Marjorie's height, lCara's ibrains, Elizafbeth Ann's eyes, Lindia's lblush. ' Method: The solution of lCara's brains and Don- na's complexion were placed in the lbeaker. Through the delivery tulbe, strains of Nancy's music and Ril'la's voice could be heard, Test tubes containing Daphnie's French, Dormwa Y's hair, and Elizabeth's horses surrounded' the 'pneumatic trough. As Cara's brain's and Donna Plafnt's complexion' 'became warm, Diane's notes and Elizabeth Annfs eyes buhbled down the delivery tube into the .pneumatic trough. Observation: A great discovery that will go down down ini the history of 'Riverlbend and will likely wirr the Nolbel Prize for 1946. Conclusion: We conclude that we're a lively lot.
