- 17 - STUDENT CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT Under the encouraging faculty ad- viser. Miss R. McDowell, the O.L.C. repre- sentation of the World-wide Student Christian Movement had one of its most successful years. The Fall Bazaar held on November 20th, was particularly a success. Hand-made articles such as knitted goods, aprons, pennants, and stuffed toys helped to bring in large proceeds which were readily distributed to such organizations as Care, Hurricane Fund, Save the Children, etc. The Sunday Evening Chapel Services this year have been well packed with Chris- tian guidance, human interest and humour. For the most part of the services. Dr. Osborne conducted sing songs of the favorite hymns of the students. He followed these with short sermons on Christian Living which the students found most helpful. Human interest came out in the topics of Dr. Otvos, a member of the staff at the Ontario Hospital; Mr. Smith, a student minister and Mr. Ferguson, a missionary in Angola, Africa. Dr. Otvos spoke on conditions in his homeland, Roumania, during the war years. His speech painted vivid pictures of his at- tempt to escape the Nazis. Mr. Smith gave a humorous account of his trials and tribulations as a student minister in the Canadian West. It was hardly what one would expect. The seniors put forth many questions, and as a result, Mr. Smith was invited to the Senior Class meeting following, where they were an- swered. His topic was humorous as well as educational. In another part of the world, Africa, the United Church is also working. Mr. Ferguson from Angola gave an account of his duties as a missionary, and brought us right on the scene by showing colored slides. The students realized just how much work has to be done in other parts of the world and how difficult it is to carry on in such conditions as in Africa. A different but important aspect of appearance was described by Mrs. Kemp of Whitby. She stated that the inside ap- pearance of a girl, was just as important as the outside. There wasn ' t one girl who could afford to miss the subject. Elly Bradley from the University of Toronto explained the Older Boys Parlia- ment meetings at O.L.C. during the Christ- mas holidays. He thanked Dr. Osborne for the use of the school for such an event, and mentioned that the boys had a wonderful time during their stay. The S.C.M. Committee of the year hopes that the succeeding group will have a year as interesting and as enjoyable as we have had during ' 54 and ' 55. Suzanne Eckel OKTICLOS This year we had a live group of eager members. Our meetings never lacked performers. Mr. Atkinson ' s students played piano selections for us. Miss Vance ' s students both played and sang, and girls from Mrs. Aymong ' s classes gave readings. We all found it good experience to perform in front of others. In the moments before a meeting, music from the practice-rooms floated out windows on all sides of the building. When we came downstairs on a Wednesday at five o ' clock, it was with great glee that we fetched cushions from the men ' s washroom. Helping hands were swift with the chairs in the concert hall for the Canadian Concert Series. What to wear to this concert, or that, was a good topic of conversation. All this shows the enthusiasm given as a group. After the advanced students ' recital, I wrote in my diary; What an exciting even- ing this has been. You should have seen the pink and pastel puffs, and all the flounce and bounce in the hall tonight. We all wore our formal dresses, so that the concert hall was just floating with pretty flutter. We had last year ' s president, Marilyn Reader sing for us -- oh, it was beautiful! Margaret Cameron and Elaine Miller sang, too. Elaine played Mozart, Mollie played Mendelssohn, Joanne, Chopin; and Mary and
