The Opera Hlouse was filled to the doors on Thursday and Friday nights when the pupils of the public achools presented their annual concert under direction of Miss Helen Morris, A.T. C.M., Supervisor of Music. To say that the entertainment was enjoyable is a very mild form of expressing the appreciation of the splendid aud- iences present. Every number re- ceived well-merited applause. When the curtain rose over a hundred bright happy faces ranged on the terraced platform greeted the parents and friends present. Trinîty Sunday School Orchestra furnished several selections whîle the audience was gathering opening the program with an overture "Poet and Peasant" which is not only familiar, but always much enjoyed. The school choir sang "O Canada" follow- ed by "Hall Smiling Morn". A re- citation "Santa's Mistake" was nice- Iy recited by Dorothy Bradt. A song "We've just arrived from Bash- ful Town" was very pleasingly rend- ered by Ruth Logan, Doris Wright, Marion Jewell, Eddie Hooper, Helen Foster, Joey Caverly-, Audrey Elliott, Diana Leighton, Donald Mason, Mary McAllister, Helen Hately, Kathleen Sisson, Albert Parker, Dorothy Tap- son. Peggy Smith, Aileen Halîman, Alfred Welsh, George Burns, Norman Baldwin, Helen Stark, Arvilla Trimb- le, Donald Cameron, Omery Mitchell. A drill "French Dolîs" under dir- ection of Misses Betty Sargeant, Nel- lie Monfgomery and Vivian Bunner was especially good, the acting -of these littIe cnes could hardly be im- pro'ved on.

Edith Richards, Edith Rowe, Helen Brooking, Irene Brookhamn, Lillian Barnes, Marion Davies. "Silent Night" by the choir was splendidly sung after which the Junior b>oys9 in their sport suits with pole and lines sang "Goin' Fishin", which the author, Miss Bertha Tam- blyn, formerly of Bowmanville, would have been proud of its rendi- tion.
