32 VOX COLLEGIl EXPRESSION NOTES All the lasses have their lads and All the lasses liave their clubs. And so the Expression Class has its Dramatic Club whose ofificers this year were as follows : — President — Jean L. Hickling Vice-President — Helen Hughes Secretary — Alicia Hambly Treasurer— Leila M. Hunter Meetings were held every third Thursday of each month and we always had a nice program and a pleasant and informal time together. After the re- freshments had been passed second or third warning invariably informed us that it was time to hie us away to our various halls. On the evening of May 18th the Art, Commercial, Domestic Science and Dra- matic Clubs held a joint social evening in the Drawing Room. As soon as the members had all arrived slips of paper with part of a proverbial saying writ- ten thereon were passed. She who had All that glitters began to look for is not gold , and so on, ' till each had a partner and then the contests were Xjassed. Each answer was the name of a poet or author. The brain-racking had just begun when Whitby ' s lights went on strike. After a few minutes ' waiting in patience several departed through the mystic darkness to procure candles. Ol taining enough to light the drawing room the contestants resumed their mental efforts. Miss Wright and Miriam Eckert were the winners of the book of poems. A few g-ames were played and then a short program was enjoyed, after which the refreshments were brought with great difficulty from the shadowy re- gions of the Domestic Science Room. Despite the firefly-like lighting sys- tem every one had a thoroughly enjoy- able time and just before leaving sang Auld Lang Syne very heartily. Bach year the Club leaves something in the studio and the Class of ' 22 pur- chased two chairs and a picture-rod. Now the studio needs a long mirror, that those who are climbing the rungs of the ladder of Expression may see when they are making nice round o ' s and proper ah ' s , scab ' s, and zah ' s. ' We have had a very happy year to- gether and it is with regret that those who are not coming back realize that each day finds us doing things for the last time within the dear old walls, and when September comes around again we just know right well where our thoughts will be. Miss Ball is the embodiment of help- fulness and enthusiasm and seems to do more work in 24 hours than one would imagine possible. Always ready to ad- vise and help and in coaching plays she is vintiring and we wonder how she can possibly be so patient. On the night of Hallowe ' en the Dra- matic Club made its first debut into so- ciety and contributed a sketch from L. M. Montgomery ' s The Golden Road to the program. Then on January 20th, the Juniors gave their stunt Maid To Order . On the 21st we all hailed with delight President Southwick ' s annual visit to the school. The President read from Sheridan ' s The Rivals part II., after which he was forced shall I say, or clapped into reading The Camel ' s Lament a fa- vorite with the girls. The following evening he read Rich- ard III. The Dramatic Club presented their mid-year play March 10. It was Lucette Ryley ' s sparkling and delightful com- edy Mice and Men. The story was based on the old say- ing The best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley. Peggy, a little foundling is chosen from ten girls and adopted by Mark Embury, a scientist and scholar. His intentions are to raise and train her so that she might attain to his ideal of perfect womanhood and ultimately he hopes to make her his wife.
