The play was well written us a humorous parody on politics. Round after round of applause was given the young actors who portrayed their character roles in almost pro- fessional style. To praise any individual player for his talents would be impossible. The -cast was coached and directed by. Rev. Bro. G. J. Power, who deserves much praise for the excellent production. Mention must also be made of the work done by Rev. Bro. Neary and his assistants in erecting an excellent set of scenery. Nor must we forget the valuable help given by the Mothers ' Club for the costuming and make-up, without which the play would have lost much of its reality.

The Glee Club, formed shortly after Christmas, has blossomed throughout the past months into an interesting and educational project. Our genial director, Bro. R. V. Castle, is an able piano player and an ardent promoter of choral singing. The Glee Club, at present composed of twenty-three resident students, is split into four sections: the first and second tenors, and the first and second basses. To date the Glee Club has a repertoire of twenty-eight pieces, among them being Latin choral, folk songs, comic songs and semi-classical standards. The Glee Club appeared first in public at the Annual C.Y.O. Convention at Holy Rosary Hall, where a varied programme was presented. The afternoon of March 19 brought them before the V.C. students, and their renderings of popular favorites were greatly enjoyed. The choir, on May 2, sang between the acts of the College play at Point Grey Auditorium. Climaxing the year ' s activities was the Glee Club concert entitled ' ' Bach to Boogie, ' presented in the first week of June at Little Flower Academy. Records have been made and a complete album of all songs will be made towards the end of May. Bro. Castle hopes the choir will be bigger and better next year and he plans to extend it to day boys and enter the Festival Auditions. We could develop a much better choir with a few more voices, stated Bro. Castle. Practices are conducted entirely out of school hours and the present members have given up their recreation time in order to master their lines. The Choir is very grateful to Bro Castle for the amount of time and effort he has contributed. □RATORIGAL EDNTEST This year two of our boys, Wallace Chisholm and Michael Reigh, travelled to Seattle to take part in the Northwest Oratorical Contest. Wallace Chisholm, whose topic Westward, Look the Land Is Bright, was eliminated in the semi-finals. Mike Reigh came through with flying colors and won the contest. His topic was Capital and Labour. Mike ' s win won for him a trophy, as well as a scholarship to Seattle College, Seattle, Wash- ington, when he graduates from V.C., if he cares to avail of it. The orators were coached by Brother Power, who has been for years O ' Dea ' s coach ol oratorical contests, debates and plays. W. Chisholm, M. Reigh.
