The cast included, from left: Jerri Ross, Myrtie Brown, Dan Cattran, Mary Mitchell,'Dave Higgon, Beverly Smith and Lamna Wearn. Capacity Audiences Enj*oy Two Nights of Fine Dram a Presented by B.H.S. Students A capacity audience enjoyed the four one-act plays presented by the Bowmanville High School Drama Club on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in the High School auditorium. Several af the students sbowed exceptional acting talent. The direction was good, and the make-up was also excellent. The setting af each scene was appropriate ta the smallest detail. Vemna Foran is the president of the Drama Club, Gregory Cooper is vice-president and Carol Cale the.secretary. How-1 ard Rundle as M.C. announced eacb play with clarity and poise. Convenors for the event were: Ligbting and sound, John Dip- peUl and Ed Kowal; Props, Ken Williamson; Make-up, Linda Col- well; Scenery, Bill Osborne; Tickets and Finances, Gregory Cooper; Ushering, Myrna Pat- erson; Advertising, Verna For- an, and Programmes, Marilyn Allin. The Price o! Coal Mrs. Robert Sheridan diected the fimst play ta be presented, "The Price ai Coal." The scene represented the living-room o! a collier's cottage in Lancasbire in the early bours af an autumn morning. The story dealt witb the plain down-to-earth people living in a coal mining tawn. Elenor Heard as the heroine, Mary, was the proud, practical, yet soit-bearted girl. Hem, ad- mirer, Jack, was acted by Charlie Trim. He was pamtic- ularly good in the role. The part ai Ellen, mother af Jack, was played by Nancy Wood, who shawed real talent. Peggy Simpson did well as Polly, a iriend of Ellen. The play by Harold Brig- bouse depicted the- grim daily lufe a! people in a coal mining cammunity. The shadow ai danger and possible death at the pits was always present, yet the very human characters depicted, shawed glimpses of humour. Mani In the Bowler Hat A. A. Milne's "The Man in the Bowler Hat", was an excitîng affair. It was also a seene in England but in a very dilferent Pirate GoId In Our Dollars Family Tree No one knows for sure, but aur modemn dol lar sign, $ Is believed ta bave originated with the figure 8 stamped on 41pieces of eight" which Long John Silver and others af his breed coveted as they scourged the seas in bygone days. Whether this is a tali tale or a true one, we do know that the $ sign was in use in the United States before the introduction of federal currency and before aur own decimal monetary system began in 1853. But more interesting ta most af us than the $ sign itself, are the figures that corne after it, especially if those figures are in a savings account pass book from the Bank ai Mantreal. It's quite a thrill ta watch thiem grow and grow as we sax'e regularly. Interest payments af twa and three- quarters per cent also help ta swell the amount. It makes sense ta save egularly at the B ai M and it makes for success in lufe, too. To start your own "success iund'", visit the Bowmanville branch of the Bank af Montreal soon. Gardon Stringer, the accauntant, there, will show you how easy it is ta apen a B af M Savings Account. It takes just three minutes and one dollar ta start. manE part from tbe coal miners dist- rict. The opening shawed John and Mary sitting in their living- room, a very ardinary ane, on an evening after supper. Berta Higgon in hem partrayal of Mary, showed special talent. She managed an exceedingly real middle class Cockney accent mast naturally, and was com- pletely real as a sweet young wife with a yearning for ad- venture. Murray Walker was very good as John, the husband, and Cathy Lynch did her part welI.
