reading about the commencement i noticed that everybody was praised except the directors of the plays mr lambert miss pierccy and miss parkinson they were just mention ed as having directed the plays that was all well these three are the unsung heroes of this article they arc the forgotten people of the commence ment h it werent for the directors wc would not have had the entertain ing plays preaented for your benefit you would have seen presentations and choir numbers heard some spee ches and then would have gone home no plays no laughs no chills no nothing the importance of these three cannot be put into worlds if they hadnt have gone to considerable trouble over commencement there would have been a definite lack in the programme but with their hard work and patience commencement wu a great success quite a bit rests on the shoulders of these people if in choosing char acters for their plays they had made one small mistake it might have ru ined that play if they hadnt worked hard and long and patiently with the acton the plays would have taken on a haphazard appearance and would have been complete failures and who would have taken the blame for the falluro none other than the directors because the plays were a success the actors arc naturally and right ly praised but if the plays had been poor or some actor bad forgot ten his lines one is inclined to blame the directors for picking tho wrong girl or boy to play the port yes directing can be difficult even if it u flnty a pastime yet these three going through their actions ac tually seemed to enjoy tfialr work so to the three directors of georgetown high schools idramatlc theatre we of high tales thank you for all your patience perseverance and prompt- in the choirs critic sua crtbtr well here weirer with regularpe riods and hard work bejng thrown at us onee again v cdntmen cements over and were back to a normal school routine again i see many people took my advice and came to hear the choir at thu commencement what did you think of our choir actually we were quite proud of ourselves considering the way our last couple of rehearsals wtnt- in ixmlslana hayride ou oould almost hear the three parts trying thnr beat to blend fven if i m not a scotsman myself i think the scuta mutt have been quite proud to hear us chanting ye hanks and ilracs of hunnic doone i think in that num imt we surprised both our choir lea der and ourselves of rourss nursery rhmes would not be nursery rh mes in our books if we did not miss a few entrance or ling a wrong note loud ly during a soil interlude but you mut remember that we actually fin ished the piece helievc me that is something as for the bos itiff song it was not too bad but it terms odd thjt whin at practice in a fairly small room thi bellow so loudly that yuu wonder whether oure still in the room or not but in an auditorium with people all prepared for a blast what do they do the very opposite if ou had not seen them in pla hcl lowing their beads off afterward ou uould almost have thought they had laryngitis come lo the r air there was one ou must agree with me that rtall went over quite well i don t know mabe im prejudiced but at least wc all hit the right notes ibis column is beinning to sound like- a famous writer in the telegram who writes the tv and radio news so i 11 change my tunc for the solos with pat willson singing ships of arcady on thursday one person in formed us afterwards they were go ing to hign hrr up for kd sullivan s toast of the town of course san dra scott s ich leibe dieh which is 1 love thee on friday night kept the audience almost in a trance you could not imagine how true this was unless ou were up on the stage looking over the audience during her performance both girls did a won dcrful job for the amount of time the duett had lo prepare their number i be lleve they did quite well well that iremi to sum up thr choirs part in the commencement i hope you found it worth while to come and hear us 1 believe that our next performance will be at st john s united church in georgetown on good friday evening watch your paper for more news about this so long till next time llapp i- as ter bn souther we would like to take thu oppor tunity to publicly thank mr ernie yorgrave chairman at the commen cement for his kind remarks about high tales in his remarks mr forgrave also spoke on a subject which has often occupied a great deal of space in this column that of a high schoel gymnasium and auditorium two years ago before the cms addition was built a strung representation was made to the department of kducatiun to get permission to build an audi torlum ju part of the addition this was refused by the department even though hundreds of others be sides this column supported it the department u definite in its ex planation that it cannot afford what it has termed facilities for frills in education phvsical training for example evt n though it is compul sory this puts the matter squarely in the bands of the local taxpavcrs it is estimated that a gvinnaiium and auditorium combined would cost 80 000 this must all come from local ta xvr if students of expanding gi1s are tu have any place in which to t jrr on ihsiral training hjuktlhall da bating dramatics and many other activities usual in modirn secondary schools of tihla due to lack of ci cilities it h s is deficient in some of tluse forma of student training since some of the money to provide an auditorium gymnasium must come from you the taxpayer it in our choice whether we have an auditorium or not eorgetosn is growing fast must the present high school of almost ihrcequartces of a century 1887 remain the ccntn of secondary school education for his up and coming industrial centre or would uu like to sec a new high s btkl one with adequate seating capacity for an ever increasing at tendance a school tu which we can point with pride and one that i a svmbol of our citizens interest in education what in your

boya to climb up the lad der to room 10 which adjoin room 4 and ice if it waa locked it was so he went downstaira for a mom ent but when he was gone two boys had an idea mike obrien pushed carl burt through the transom at the top of the door he landed in one piece and opened the door for us the pen pals were a good idea ma ny of the pupils hear interesting things from their foreign correspon dents one girl in our class hid a pen pal in india up until about two weckh ago ho wroto her a sob story tell ing her that his house had burned down his parents died and ho had to look after tho family ho also told her he was out of work that they were starvlngnnd that ho would send her a parcel to sell for him when it arrived ho didnt even open it but readdreued and returned it with a similar story for good measure a few days liter an item appeared in the herald to bewaro of this kind of trickery a means by which some peo ple aro trying to set out of working the herald tells us to

not quite comploto students leave the room and in tho dlsjanco we hear iir hoppor hero next bell first period starts everyone btragglejinto the room aisles mysteriously disappear and toacher stands calmly up at tho front under a barrase of various mls- silos until finally peace is restored forty minutes later tho warning bellriiihb to bring the period to a close the hubbub increases in- a dull roar and the n teacher jlnally hi the wings laaw b while you sat wauhins the onv tnaneemest plays did you happen to notice some indications that thrf was more to that play than mfct the eye did it ever strike you that there wu plenty of action going on on the other side of the walls for instance was the prompter tn a panic because the actors had skipped a page and as a result the boys running the butxer for the telephone were momentarily losf well thats what happened one shoult from the director for a ring brought results and the phones started ringing again i dont think anyone noticed thu simply because it was so wellfovered up by the re markable acting and the wonderful stage crew incidental such as this one wotdd have made an exciting and hilarious play in themselves if the stage had been tuned back to front and you the audience viewed the happening behind the scenes or while you watched did ou not ice the wails shake and picture or calendars fall down 1 gnu you did because nothing could hid that the explanation is that the space between the back of the stage and the walls of the sci were no more than a foot antl a half also svery few feet al ong this passageway there was a sup port for the walls of the set and these supports were quite high tn ougb to trip anyohe who failed to lift his feet high enough when pas sing twice to my knowledge this unfortunate accident occurred the first lime was on thursday night when one ambitious soul tring bard to be helpful decided to cross from left to right wing lo find out from th prompter the last line of the pa so that the curtain puller uould know when to pull the curtain on the return trip in her haste to kite this information this person found to in r horror and embarravs ment that her foot had come into con tact with the said supports while the font was travelling at a gnat veloc ity junkl she slid into the nearest and most hidden corner but a red fare betrayed her guilt someone might have said shell learn but he didn i on friday the following night when the choir hail taken off their gowns the returned to the auditor i urn to find a shortage of chairs those who couldn i find one crowded into ttie rear of the auditorium to stand now our clumsy friend and a compan ion could not see over the heads of the irnwil at the hack of the hall so the hnlliantly decided to no back stage and have ringside seats for the second pla of the evening they found holes in the srenerv through which to peer i nfnrtunatcly the holes were small and ver little could tc seen through one hole so natur all they continually shifted from one bole to another to get a complete picture of what was going on howrvtr the bangs and clatters that they caused could easily have been part of the effort to create a stormy scene outside in this pla thunder ou know this informa lion was received first hand since needless to sa the intruding nuisan coi were our favourite and onl choir reporter and ours truly another scene of activity was in the wings during the third and last pla the calamity was caused by the fourteen minor characters who were crammed into this minute space kveryone was fighting to get sitting on one of the two chairs as soon as someone was successful in getting a seat he had to get up to make his or her debut which in half the cases wai the saing of a difficult speech our call please most of the actors and actresses who could nol find a seat occupied themselves by placing peek a boo with the operator who was giving her services at the time this game wai plaed through the holes in the switchboard with the purpose of miking the operator laugh in the wings tom dobbie could have opened a barber shop for a small fee and during the intermis sions he could have shaved anyone who so desired for a small fee with his murder weapon everyone would have been thoroughly satisfied with toms work for they would never have had such a close shave in alt their lives its that time again
