McBrien School of Creativity, under the direction of Mr. Jeffery Cohen. The cast has interviewed local senior citizens in the Port Perry and Uxbridge area and have come across many interesting stories about our past. Through improvisation with these stories they are creating a productien which allows the audience to see their past living again before them. Some original and turn of the century music is being incorporated into the show to complete the atmosphere. The end result is a new, musical, play about life in - Durham Region at the turn of the century. 'Don't Leave the Farm Boys' is being produced because of the tremendous response to "What am 1 Bid?" last summer's histor- ical collective. This was the J. McBrien School of Creativity's first effort in collective drama. Performances will be March 13th through 15th at 8 p.m. and a 2 p.m. matinee on March 13 and 16th--at the Town Hall 1873 in Port Perry. Tickets are available at the Port Perry Star, Luke's Country Store, Tran"s General Store and the J. McBrien School of Creativ- ity. For more information call 985-7115 or 985-8001.

Senior Citizens by Marion King Well, our Senior Citizens really enjoyed themselves on Wed. Feb. 20. We had games of shuffleboard, carpet bowling, pool and euchre. Kay McFadden, very graciously instructed the carpet-bowling. After a real good afternoon of games, a bountiful pot- luck supper was enjoyed. Our social convenor was in charge, and as usual did an excellent job. Euchre was played again after supper. On Friday, Feb. 22 the Kinettes entertained seventy five of our members to a hot beef dinner, followed by entertainment. Two Barber- shop quartettes from Uxbridge were thoroughly enjoyed. Roy Grierson moved a vote of thanks to all who had helped to make such an enjoyable evening. 2
