AGORA The Agora this year was composed mainly of newcomers to the society. .Judy Davies, a former member, was in¬ stalled as president. Ralph Cole, vice- president and Joyce Whipple secretary, were elected by the Agora as hei as¬ sistants. Many Agora cards were sold in the fall and for this the members received a free Tea Dance and a Football Game. The Agora undertook to send cigarettes to our Alumnae overseas, and aided the school in the purchase of a War Bond. The society purchased athletic crests for the school and the graduation pins. The two annual dances, the Santa Strut and the Gamblers’ Gamble, were staged successfully. We are now look¬ ing forward to the big Military Ball in May. As in prevous years the Agora is ready to consider any ideas advanced b the students. We thank the teachers who have helped us so cheerfully, es¬ pecially Mr. Hartford, and everyone who has helped make the society a success. Ralph Cole. or. Page Eleven

Acknowledgements The staff of the Blue and White wish to express their appreciation to all those who contrbuted to the maga¬ zine. To Mr. Ball we are grateful for his patience and helpfulness in every de¬ partment. Our difficulties have been im¬ measurably lessened, too, by the inex¬ haustible patience of Mr. Fred and Mr. Ernest Creed. Miss Dickey, Mr. Malania, Miss Ev¬ ans, Miss Post and Miss McLaren spent many evenings criticizing material. Miss Auld’s gracious assistance was of great value to the art department. We thank those English teachers who contributed class periods in order that the students might write articles. To Bob McDonald, Jack Panabaker and John Kerr, we owe many excellent pictures. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of those girls who spent many hours typing the material. We owe much to our energetic class representatives who spurred their class¬ mates to greater efforts. It has been a pleasure to work with such a co-operative staff and to have such a responsive student body. —Editor, Page Ten

As always, the executive is elected early in October. The 1940 ex¬ ecutive is as follows: Hon. President, Miss Evangeline Robbins; Pres., Judith Davies; Vice Pres., Martha Vance; Sec¬ retary, Betty Samson; Treasurer, Fran¬ ces Tape. The third form students gave an ex¬ cellent play entitled “The Columbine Club on the Air” at the graduation ex¬ ercises, and it won such praise and com¬ ment that it was repeated at the Wind¬ sor Theatre Guild. The entire story took place in a broadcasting studio. A club of noisy women gave a dramatic skit and several musical selections on the air, and Pat Bordeau’s song, “After the Ball is Over’’, was about the most clever bit of acting we have seen in W. C. I. for years. A grand and glorious argument between Barbara Sale and Helen Ferlick took place; the two compromised finally and laid the complete blame on the radii announcer, Ray Pillon. The women left in fury, vowing never to return to the studio again. At that point the poor, be¬ wildered announcer collapsed. “Archibald” was a play with an all¬ girl cast. A study-room of a Girls School was the setting and the story was centered around a dear little girl, Joyce Lane, who bragged continually about her brother Archibald. When the day came for Archibald to visit the school, poor Joyce was frantic, and confided in her trustworthy friend, Marjorie Pollock, that Archibald was just a child of six. Marjorie finally consented to disguise herself as Archibald. Well, there was quite a mix-up and when the real Arch¬ ibald arrived a few minutes after the imposter, the situation became ever more complicated. Things gradually got straightened out and all the girls loved (Continued on page 81) Page Twelve
