He stated how pieased he was with the environment at the school, which he considered a good one. He found the pupils very co-operative and for the most part industrious. He aise paid warm tribute to his very excellent assistant, Mr. T. A. Ven- ner, B.A., who owing to 111 health was forced to resign the princi- palship last year but due to the scarcity of teachers consented to come back this year as assistant.

There was also a sound feature entitled "Let Us Sing" which was heartily entered inte and thoroughly en- joyed by the audience. A one-act hilaribus comedy "A Case cf Suspension" the scene cf which was laid in a ycung ladies' sitting roorn in a "Seminary for Young Ladies" was well played, by a cast consisting cf Rae Ven- ner as Dorothy, Joan Dusk as Alice and Mary Toms as Mildred, in whose sitting room the action takes place. Murray Walton as Harold, Keith Pedwell as Tom and Spence Creamer as Jack, un- dergraduates cf a college nearby. Barbara Bonathan and Neil- Brit- ton were excellent as Miss Ophel- ia Judkins and Professor Emilius Edgerton, members cf the facul- ty. Betty Stephenson gave a very realistic and mirth provoking act as the Irish maid. Ronald Pow- ell was aise equally as good in his character as "The Seminary handy man." The cemedy was one cf the best acted and directed plays that has 'been put on by the pupils at their commence- ment exercises.

He con- cluded his very excellent address by expressing his thanks and apprecîtion te the donors cf the Wilmot Geid Media1, The Thomas Mentagaue Schelarship and The Prof. Squair French Prize. It is interesting te note, and ne doubt a source of great pride te Mr. and Mrs. John Hendry, Lake- shore, that four cf their children have won the Montague Scholar- ship and other academic awards while pupils at Newcastle High Schoel. The Mentague Scholar- ship has been previously award- ed te Annabelle *Hendry, now Mrs. Garnet Rickard, Alec Hen- d'ry, Edith Hendry now Mrs. Bruce Murray, residing in Stir- ling, and this year Archie Hendry has won the schoiarship.
