Much bas been jscbeduled for the weeks abead. The, grade 10 French trip to Quebec tCity is set to take place from May 14 to 16. May 24 promises to be a very busy day. It will bo "School Spirit Day" - a day, on which both students and teachers have a good Urne and in the process get to know one another botter. Then, in the evening, realize that there is still an interest in cultural activities, namely, in drama. This interest was clearly exhibited by the response of Anderson students to "The Original Five-Minute One-Act Play Festival" . This event was the brain-cbild of teacher Len Kosurko and was the first (but definitely not the last) drama festival held in Ander- son's history. Fifteen plays were en- tered in the competition and each entry had five minutes to set up any props and five minutes to actually perform the piece. The preliminary round was held atnoon for tbree days and the audiences present were" treated to very en- tertaining lunch hours. Several teachers acted as judges and had the very difficuit task of choosing only seven plays wbich would be performed in the "Showcase Assembly"' in front of the school. The finalists were an- nounced and the actors, actresses, directors and stage-hands went to work polishing up their plays and getting ready for their debut in front of tiumultuous Anderson Finally the day arrived, and after a warm- welcome by Kosurko the stage lit up and, the audierice became enthrolled in the wonderful world of drama. The finalist plays were as follows: "Heat" by Stephanie Mayko, about a women ex- periencing a break- down brought about by the pressures around her; "One Fine DAy at the Pearly Gates"' by Scott Griffin and Darryn Waterbouse about two people in an automobile accident .who find themselves trying to get into heaven; "The Note" by Robert Needbam, con- w 1 Sponsored by the WHITBY MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION By THE REV. KEITH A. ELFORD Pa'stor Whltby Free Methodist Church He wanted to know if we had joined the "Philip- pians Club". Quite frankly, I didn't know wbat he was talking -about so I listened to bis enthusiastic explanations. He said that it was a life cbanging ex- perience - one that had given new meaming and foundation to bis Christian walk, had dramaticaily- re-sbaped his image of himself and had given him a new appreciation for the pilgramage of Cbristian living. .Very simply, be had been challenged to read the letter St. Paul wrote to the Philippian Christians (you'il find it in your Bible) every day for a month. That was it. Just simply read it every day for 30 days. It's flot a long epistle (it can be read in about fif- teen minutes), so I decided that I would give it a whirl. Thirty days haven't gone by yet, bu t I'm afready beginning to feel its effects. The Seriptures after ail, are flot just wandering preacher's ram- blings, they are Holy Spirit inspired writings which have the power to radically affect the inner life of any reader who is responsive to their nudges and nuances. 'St. Paul is writing this letter to bis dear friends from a prison celf-r (flot'the most "Up beat" circûumstances) but Is m fessage is flced with hope. Instead of telling bis friends at Philippi how for- tunate they are flot to be in jail, he telis them of his drea ms and aspirations for them. There are some competitive ceil mates who are givinig him a hard time, but he puts a positive construction on even that. He doesn't worry about their wrong motives. Let them preach! Let the good news about Christ go out 1 He t.alks about his ultimate desire to glorify Christ at whatever cost - even if it meant his death. He doesn't deny the good things of life (He expeets to get out of prison) but even if he is executed, he would see that as gain. Wbat freedom! And that's just the first chapter!> I don't know how it's going for you just now, but you. may want to consider joining the Philippians Club. It will only cost-you a few minutes of time. The membership can be renewed without charge. Remember, The whole thingl Once a day! For thir- ty days!

The judges were once again faced with the dif- ficult task of choosing which plays, actors and actresses were most deserving of an "Andy" award-named, of cour- se, after "Ander"son.
