26 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS' ScHooL The carefree, pleasure-loving but forgetful mummers were: Helen Martin, Jean Woodiiian, Patricia Purdie, Monica Mackersy, Sydney Roberts, Lillian Hultman, jean MacKay and Dorothy King. The incidental music which formed a lovely accompaniment to the movement of the play was interpreted by Miss Jackson and Mr. Palmason. The appropriate setting executed by Mrs. Edwards, was no small factor in contributing to the atmosphere. The dance in Act Il. composed and directed by Miss Lloyd, revealed the happy, carefree spirit of the mummers. Miss Turner, the cast and all those who gave their services in helping in the production of the play, deserve great thanks for the enjoyment they gave to so many of us. S PQRTS-1939-40 ' sv Itf . E!

RUPERT's LAND GIRLS' ScHooL 25 for tea and games in the new Common Room. Plans have been made for our summer picnic. The scholarship which His Grace, Archbishop Matheson kindly offers, was awarded, last year, to Leslie Florance. Every girl is working hard this year, too, for some fortunate one will win it. This closes the account of Matheson's activities for the year, so let us wish all our present and ex-Matheson members the best of luck. N.1XNCY KEYES tSecretaryj. PRUNELLA The fantasy, Prunella, by Lawrence Housman and Granville Barker, this year forms part of the English course on the Grade Eleven Curriculum. This, added to the fact that it is a charming play, attested to the sound choice of its producer, Sylvia Lloyd Turner. The play was presented in the concert hall of the Auditorium on the night of January the twenty-ninth. The cast of twenty was chosen from Grades X, Xl and XII. Their performance deserves high praise not only on account of the sincere portrayal of the characters in the play, but also because of the understanding manner in which the elfin-like quality of the atmosphere was maintained. The story concerns a girl who was brought up by three strict aunts and who ran away with an actor, only to return broken-hearted and weary to her home three years later. Leading male part and the heaviest role in the production was taken by Leslie Florance. who. as Pierrot, brought to mind the lovable yet heartless Great God Pan. in her interpretation of the vain mum- mer. Frances Hazleton drew many laughs from an appreciative audience as Scaramel, the toe-dancing servant of Pierrot. Prunella. showing three entirely different moods, was successfully characterized by Thelma Draper. The three gardeners, Mary Doris Le Roy, Margaret Stovel and Jean Sellers impressed us with their love of work, and a country boy who charmed us with his voice, taken by Mary Leggatt, gave life to the lovely garden where the story was unfolded. . Muriel Ferguson, as the hired singer for Pierrot, very easily melted the heart of Prunella. The three aunts were delightful. Ruth Fryer, Mary Medland and Gertrude Hoppins gave excellent interpretations of these old- fashioned guardians. Mary Tomkins as the bustling maid-servant Quaint, drew a gust of laughter every time she appeared on the stage. The little statue of Love, Jennifer McQueen, who came to life on four occasions to give advice, was a model of patience and endurance.
