FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1948 -1949 tamarins It is a happy Selwyn House Christmas custom that presents an afternoon and even- ing of drama just before we all part for the holidays. This year we had the pleasure of seeing three plays superbly acted, ably accompanied on the programme by the School choir, alto- gether involving almost one third of our numbers. Add to this the full turnout both afternoon and evening of parents, boys and friends, as well as the kind assistance of parents with stage properties, and we can well be proud of such a community of interest. It is in these perform- ances that the school spirit shows in its most inclusive and richest aspects. To mention individual names is not to minimise the efforts of all concerned, but merely to acknowledge the quite capable generalship. Mr. Mayer of course worked like a Trojan through the prior months and on the final evcningg and his discreet musical back- ground for the suspenseful Monkeys Paw added greatly to its total etfectg he was ably assisted by Mrs. Tester. Mme. Gyger's production of Tovaritch met the full demands her previous standards had set: and the full choir under Mr. Phillips descanted with con- summate skill and grace. Our actors outdid themselves in several of the most demanding roles, and we should like especially to commend both Tim Rutley and Anson McKim for their sensitive ren- derings in that horrific The Monkeys Paw . Paul Dolisie drew unanimous tribute as le banquier of Tovaritch , nor can we forget to mention Lee Mee, the wooden prota- ganist of the affections of The Stolen Prince . Michael Dennis and Donald Raper rendered melifluous and bell-like solos in the choir's offerings. An aside of commendation must go to the hard-working and very willing stage custodians Gordon Currie, Jimmie Creighton and Nelson Timmins. The entertainment was as follows: 1. O CANADA. 2.
