Brosnan has all first year students learning basic lettering as applied to signs and posters. This active group has made posters for all the social and athletic events during the year. The essence of the Poster Club is young wood,” which in future years will boost the College to newer and greater heights. The smell of fresh paint, shellac and the din of pounding hammers is a sure sign that Br. E. E. St. Martin’s boys are hard at work. On closer inspection we find some masterpieces in copper tooling designs as done by such earnest craftsmen as: Fraser Lane, D. Paterson, J. Du- NEARING COMPLETION is this fine exhibit of leather craft by Bob Skarzynski and Jeff Edwards. BR. ST. MARTIN shows enthralled art student, G. Smith how to attach snaps” onto a key case.

They enjoyed one hour of miscellaneous talent climaxed by the presentation of The Man Who came To Dinner, which ran ninety minutes. THE DIRECTOR, Mr. Frank Lambrett-Smith, in his fifth year here, masterminded three produc- tions this year. In the Jr. Drama Group he was assisted by Mr. Phillips, and the Sr. by Br. Reilly.
