DRAMA TI CS In dramatics, we learn the funda- mentals of acting, the rules an actor must obey on the stage. The setting of the stage, the position ofthe hands and feet, the loudness and clearness of an actor's voice are a few ofthe points to be mastered. Most important are the lines every actor must know to per- fection. ln rehearsing, plays can be fun, but tiresome. But all the hard work put into a play is rewarded when the play has been a success. All in all, practice brings out the best qualities of every actor in every play. We'll be right with you mother, says D. Dauphin Dauphin, and I. LeBr'un to S.

ORATORICAL CO TEST For the third consecutive year, speech-minded students at St. Louis have brought forth their rhetorical powers in an attempt to gain recognition and reward for their talent. After weeks of preparation, eliminations were held in the classes and the students who obtained the highest scores became semi-finalists. These savants then appeared on stage before the entire student body in an effort to gain the coveted trophy. These erudites who today participated in the National Honor Society sponsored contest will no doubt become the public speakers of tomorrow. We wish them and their peers all the success, achievement and happiness in life. A sincere thank you must be given to the tremendous and impartial juding of Rev. Father S. Levesque, Dr. Leopold Viger, and Mr. Leonard Drapeau. They helped to make this affair a great success. Our happy winners arc congratulated by Brother Albert, Principal. They are R. Cartier, B. Kerns, and K. Scott. B. Henri, a two time winncr, has graciously accepted to M. C. the contest this year. Congratulations to all our finalists: lst ROW A. Labrie, M. Dumas and R. Bcauprc. 2nd ROW: R. Miniiini, D. Despres, M. Boissonneault, D. Girouard, C. Paquette, and M. Cvuignard.
