COLLEGIAN, I 9 30 THE LEGEND OF ST. YVONNE The students of the Collegiate in- stitute prepared their third annual operetta, namely the Legend of St. Yvonne, presented on the evenings of April I0 and ll, in the school assembly hall. Mr. Bishop ably con- ducted the practices and Miss Be- atrice Stewart also gave much valu- able time to the teaching of the various dances. The students too, entered into the play whole-hearted- ly and this year latent talent has been brought to the fore. Some twenty solos were in the play, and these were taken, not only by the e:-:perienced students but also by many new and promising singers, who made their debut on the stage. The Legend of St. Yvonne is a most delightful story of love. Ro- mance is added by old-fashionecl Hsher folk, salty sailors, fair maidens and even fairies. lts solos, choruses, music, fairy dances together with the many humorous touches com- bined to form an operetta that proved an evening of enjoyment to the citizens of Stratford as well as a benefit to the students of the school. The cast was as follows: Germaine Deschamps Lorna Lupton Gaston Lebrun ...... Kenneth Cash Harry Trelawney. .John Whittaker Captain Trelawney.Vivian Holmes Captain Chevalier. .Gordon Wright Lf- Maire .......

THE BAND AND ORCHESTRA Once more the school has been fortunate in having a band and an orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Bishop. ln having these two or- ganizations the school has shown that it is keeping in step, along mu- sical lines, with all other collcgiates of Ontario. At present there are twenty mem- bers in the orchestra. It has been improved this year by the addition of some of the brass instruments of the band. This has given balance to it. Not only has the orchestra pre- sented entertainment for the stud- ents at Lit meetings, but it has also played at various functions in the city. It has provided dinner- music for service clubs of the city, assisted Home and School clubs on several occasions, and also was present at the opening of the new Falstaff school. The personnel of the orchestra is: Violins-Phyllis McAtee, Rita McCauley, H. Galloway, R. Cole, C. Tretheway, A. Long, P. Pigeon, H. Reinhart. Cello--D. Kennedy. Clarinets-B. Monteith, F. Lan- gan. Flute--H. Kennedy. Saxaphones - IG. Wright, G. Johnston. Trumpet--L. Battersby. ..25...

At the inspection, dur- ing the latter part of last term, the band, then organized only six months, showed what had been ac- complished, when it played for dif- ferent drills performed by the girls. It has also proved an asset in sport circles, playing for the annual field- day procession and also at rugby and hockey games. lVlr. Bishop has been asked to have the band and orchestra give a programme in the new band stand as the opening for the season. He has also been approached in re- gard to a radio evening being given by the two organizations and the talent in the school. ln all probabil- ity these two requests will be granted.

A TROUBLE REMOVER l need a trouble remover For my case is very sad, Cause when l try to slep at night My troubles drive me mad. l have tried so many tonics l have taken a box of pills, But nothing seems to cure me Of all nay pains and ills. I went to see a doctor To get some good advice He said to take a menthol bath And eat a bag of rice. l tried the doctor's orders Many and many a time And when l woke next morning l was feeling right in rhyme I went to see the doctor To tell him how l felt, But when he handed me my bill Then l began to melt. l pulled a gun in anger And told him he would die, You bet he was terribly frightenezl And started to reach for the sky. 'Twas then the trouble started l made a mistake that once: A policeman came in running. l'll be out in a coupla months! fa safe' , .Q rw 'J-4, i, 'kxWff Fr fl ' .iygfzl . JL 1 NIGHT Still nightg and stars above me gleaming down Reflected shadows from the peaceful lake No fish disturbs its surface with a frown No deer disturbs the silence of the brake. Dark trees outlined against a star-flecked sky, No rustling leaves betray their presence there The breezes blow the clouds no more on high All Nature greets the Fairest of the Fair. -JAW- .-2 7...
