The Crest Visits T.T.C. A welcome addition to many high schools across Ontario, the Crest Hour Company's production played a return visit to Toronto Teachers' College and entertained us with their stage magic. Using a minimum ot props they presented a mixture ot drama, music and comedy in the form of play- lets, poems, iazz and prose gathered from old English, Browning to Shaw, with some French se- lections. The audience was captivated by three excerpts from Macbeth , the highlight ot which was the sleepwalking scene by Marilyn Lightstone. Judith lrban sang a ballard, The Three Ravens, to her own guitar accompaniment. This was follow- ed by an excellent interpretation of Robert Frost's lengthy poem, Death of a Hired Man. The performance was very well presented and received . . . our thanks to the Crest Hour Com- pany. 69

Christmas Fun In the minds of most people the Christmas festivities live long after the happy time has passed. This holds true for our college students as well. Not many will forget the throbbing tones of Bells sung by our mix- ed choir, or the sweet sounds Lullay My Liking sung by the ladies' choir. Yet we all had our turn to ioin in under the splendid direction of Al Kunc. Following school tradition the Drama Society was able to completely transform The Night Before Christ- mas from an old time custom into a rollicking comedy of the twentieth century. Don Bagshaw, as the con- fused father, split the silence many times with his unusual antics and expressions. The assembly proved to be a great way to start off the festive season.
