A capacity audience immensely enjoyed this well presented varîety show. Jim Coyle, was the able M.C. The producers of the suc- cessful and most enjoyable Hoot Night entertainme'nt were B. Depew, G. Gilpin, (Staff Advisor), and R. W. Sheridan. The first number on the program was an excellent pro- duction of Rubra Cuculia, a clever adaption of the favor- ite nursery tale Little Red Riding Hood presented in an amusing and witty Latin ver- sion. The perfect pronuncia- tion, clear enunciation, and natural acting of the w.ell dir- ected cast reflected much cre- dit on the producer, R. W. Sheridan. Ileane Rahme played the lead role enchantingly. Others in the fine cast were Carolyn Stacey as the mother; N. de Jong, the wolf; D.

Close associates are referring ta him as Hop Sing or Pierre, but we say again that no complaints were registered by the cash customers, and no one had ta send for a stomach pump, Sa the resuits couldn't have been too bad. Thanks are extended ta Mrs. Ted Miller, Les Smale for dish- washing help and coffee maker Tom Lyle. Tom assisted between grass f ire caîls. He is also Fire Chie!.
