The annual publication of the students of Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, Lethbridge, Alberta.(1954-55) "Youth is not entirely a time of life—it is a state of mind . . . Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by desert­ing their ideals . . . You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young. V/hen the wires are all down and your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then and then only, are you grown old . . ." —General Douglas MacArthur The Annual Publication OF THE Students' Union OF THE Lethbridge Collegiate Institute 1955 Enrolment - 6103y the time this Year Book is being read, the school year of 1954-55 will be nearly over. The graduating students will be looking forward eaqerly to a new future, yet not without a lingo of nostalgia for the carefree days that are nearly gone. What is the L. C. I. attempting to do for its students? A capable faculty has been most assiduous and thorough in attempting to instill in each student a love of learning, the ability to think creatively, and an honest desire to work. They have striven to inculcate in every student a thorough knowledge of our language and literature, a facility in its daily use, a com­prehension of the social forces at work within the individual and the world, a knowledge of the basic concepts in science, an appreciation of the place of mathematics and a mastery of the essentials in all courses, combined with a clear cut interest in his own physical well-being. A few ideas of what could be reasonably expected oi graduates are found in these words, "a degree of booklearning, a faith in their own in­telligence plus an earnest regret at their own ignorance, yet coupled with a cheerful determination to improve, using all opportunities as they appear." Are students today making the most oi their opportunities? The consensus of opinion is that they are not. Graduates will find the world is not satisfied with mediocre effort. The will to excell should direct the efforts of all young people. Students must develop character and citizenship to live, work, co-operate and play with others or as one writer asserts, "Graduates of any school must learn to stand for somothing lest thoy fall for anything." Graduates and students alike can show their genuine appreciation for the wonderful facilities provided for them today only by a sincere and honest attempt to acquire all the education possible while in school, and in the succeeding years make their full contribution to the future of our country. May I express my personal congratulations to all our graduates and project the hope that your success may prove a spur to faltering students and awaken in all a determination not to idle away their time nor to be satisfied till they too are graduates of the L.

In years yet to come we hope that the graduating clcss will find the Spotlite '55 to be a candid memento by which to remember the highlights of a very successful year. Our appreciative thanks go to Miss Francis, Mr. Rea, Mr. Neville and the students who wrote the features; to Mr. Rose and his typing class, who helped tremendously in preparing this Yearbook for publication; to Elsie Reed for the Gazette page; to Barry Clark for his assistance to our art department, and to anyone else who helped in any way to prepare this book. To the graduates of 1955 may we extend our sinccrest wish for a happy and prosperous future. Rage FourWSrNES5~ MNGR.

Of course, for some of us, it won't be such a catastrophe, and others may even have the pleasure of coming back. But, for the most part, it should be at least discomforting to discover that what has been almost a daily routine for so many long years, has finally ceased. Thrust out into the cold world, we may find our time a little more profitable (financially), but certainly no more enjoyable. For, despite the mental and physical torment of cramming for occasional examinations, high school has proven to bo a pleasurable and interesting experience. Considering that the majority of those who began Grade One with us are no longer in school, we may certainly regard oursolvos as lucky to have come as far as we have. But it would be a mistake to credit ourselves entirely with the achievement; our teachers have done ell in their power to see that we graduated from grade to grade, and have devoted them­selves unselfishly to our education. From Grade One on. wo have benefited from probably the finest school system available, and everything possible has been done to prepare us for the day when we should at last be on our own. And all too scon we shall be on our own, whether we decide merely to stay home and help with the housework, or whether we go on to university. Gone will be the days when teachers will be concerned if we attain only 15% on examinations. Of course, gone too will be the detention classes and the stern admonishings of the Principal, but gone also will be much of the co-operation and sympathy we have received in past years. In time, when wo look back at these years at the L. C. I., we shall feel even more deeply grateful for the school that transformed us from unmannered urchins to young citizens. We shall be grateful to the teachers, many of whom may have influenced our lives far more than we realize now. We shall certainly remember Mr. Kyle, how ho kept us in line, and the fun we had trying to skip school. V/e may well think of Mr. Paterson and the School Board, and how they worked to provide for our future. Putting tacks on teachers' chairs, carving our names in the new desks, and throwing paper airplanes in the library will also be among our pleasant memories of the old L. C. I. And, as we venture out into society, we must not forget to take along some of the valuable ideas which we have acquired during our school days. It is doubtful whether, as vacuum cleaner salesmen, we shall encounter Lenz's Laws or the Binomial Theorem, but it is the more basic ideals of living wo must cling to. We must try to be sincere and honest in all we do. no matter what our occu­pations. We must carry our democratic spirit and youthful lack of prejudice into tomorrow's busi­ness, and thus insure for our children as rich a heritage as our own. We hope that from our class may someday come a Dr. Salk or a Madame Curie (or even a Marilyn Monroe) but such achievements, though possible, must be considered secondary to the development of our worth as individuals co­operating ior the betterment of our people. Although the future holds wonderful and exciting things, it is difficult to say goodbye to the Institution and the people who have done so much. At least we can say that v/e shall never forget these happy and beneficial years, and that wo shall do our best to prove worthy of the faith shown in us. Pago Six By BEVERLEY BRUNEI.I.E II is the year 1975. Canada has built and pop­ulated a satellite located several million miles from the earth's surface. As our rocketship rapidly ap­proaches. the satellite, it appears as a qiant gloam­ing bubble, shrouded in clouds and mist. Hastily I snatch up my notebook, for have I not been assign­ed to cover this journey? The satellite, indeed one of man’s most re­markable achievements, was designed by noted astronomical physicists. Jim Stark and Julien Vincze. and built by the 3D (Draffin, Darlington and Dixon) Construction Company. Alter much deliberation, 107 people were selected for their various superior skills and qualities to settle this minute island in space. Descending from the rocketship. I am greeted by a group of local dignitaries: His Honour Mayor Vaughan Hembroff; Doreen Golfond, his governess: Ron Hunt, representative for Priddle Brothers Meteor­ite Insurance Company; Cornelia Dogterom. sought- after debutante; Dennis Kjeldgaad. lamed cycling champion and his manager-trainer, that wheel. Herb Shector, accompanied by his manager. Barry McFcdden; and Lyla Davis, poetess, famous for her best-seller. "My Clippings" or "The Vision of Sir Lawnmov/er." During the felicitations, Fred Babki, renowned after-dinner speaker, interrupts, leaping about and shouting, "Stowaway!" as a darkly clad figure scurries from the rocketship into the maxe of build­ings. Mayor Hembroff summons Arthur Fuzey. burly officer of the law, who contacts Chief of Police Ab Paskuski, with his two-way wrist radio. Accom­panied by Policewoman Leta Orr, we jump into a waiting supersonic sports car and the chase is on! Our driver, Orville McCrea, deftly maneuvers the sleek vehicle through the noon-hour traffic. Upon turning a sharp corner, we nearly upset Ken Heaton. Ron Nastiuk and Tim Myers engrossed in a marble game on the curb. All efforts seem futile as there is no sign of the fugitive. Chief Paskuski docidos that the next move would bo to search every building and interrogate its occupants. The Chief and several more policemen. Detec­tive Ken Lidgren, finger print expert Ron Fisher and narcotics investigator Tosh Ibuki enter the offices of Dr. Pam Russell, noted psychiatrist. Rose Bianchi, her receptionist, ushers us into Dr. Russell's coun­selling room. In low mesmerizing tones, Dr. Russell is advising a patient lying on her couch. "Mr. Clark, my advice to you would bo this: If Mr. Erdman, the big shot of your popgun factory antagonizes you so much, fire him. Your associates, Wyatt and Lightbound would agree to this. I'm certain. How­ever, take home this book, entitled. "The Caro and Feeding of your Employees', by Donna Flickinger. and I'm sure you will straighten out your difficulty." The next building searched :s operated by John MacMillan and Howard Ritchie. Of course, it is the John Howard Society for the rehabilitation of ex-detentionites. As wo enter, Lonora Dcglau, Norma Coates. Allan McKenzie and Bob Fraser, all extremely sad cases, are being qivon the full treat­ment by Sociologist Blanche Kawasoye. Emily Salomon, a cute little trick, is perched on Mr. Mac­Millan's lap taking dictation. The officers, finding no trace of the stowaway, proceod down the street to where a crowd has gath­ered. A group of lovoly ladies. Florence Vander- Lelie, Doreen Morita, Katie Tarasoff, Shirley Del- mark and Kay Jamieson, all adorned in sleek space suits, are listening raptly to soapbox orator, Harry Afaganis, who is presenting his opinions on "The Effect of Cosmic Dust on Confirmed Bachelors." As he continues his streams of epithets and expletives, Jack MacLeod ducks unobtrusively into the crowd armed with a tin cup. At this point, the detectives halt and engage in an animated confab. They decide that the next place to look and a likely spot to find a character of ill repute is the Rod Garter, ownod by that hood, Harold Jensen, notorious king of the underworld. As we enter we are greeted by Jenson's henchmen, "Tiny" Ted Fyles. "Terrible Tom" Ohno and Arthur "Mugsy" Potvin. who thrust their bread shoulders into the doorway and demand the password. Oddly enough. Mayor Hembroff promptly furnishes it and we enter the bizarre club to find the performers re­hearsing for the ovoning floor show. Bandloador Ron Jones is chatting with Crooner Ken Moyne, who is surrounded by an adoring group of autograph seekers including Leila Dong. Inga Ciesla and (Continued on Page Fifty-one) Page SevenBy MISS M. T. FRANCIS Some of you will be familiar wish Ko-ko. a somewhat eccentric character in Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado." In his wisdom he concocted a little list of "society offenders who might well be underground." Is in­cluded such bores as the "lady from the provinces" who admitted that she couldn't "dance" but would "rather like to try/' the fellow "who is up in dates and floors you with 'em flat," as well as a number of others "who never would be missed." This light-hearted cynicism somewhat appeals to the nasty side of my disposition, for occasionally in my more misanthropic moments, I, like Ko-ko, find a secret delight in mentally eliminating certain exasperating of­fenders "who might well be underground." I have a wicked delight, for instance, in plotting how I could tie up the gum addict in long strings of sinewy spearmint, stick him to a chair, and limit his vision to nothing but a pair of clacking dental plates. I have a malicious little scheme which would condemn that parasite, the homework-copier, to try to write his reprieve from punishment in invisible ink. My list includes those people who would rather leave their mark on a desk top than on the world; those who scatter candy wrappers, sunflower seeds, paper wads, and used Kleenex as they go, instead of sunshine; those v/ho have volumes to say about nothing, but are inarticulate when required to say something. There are others—the frivolous, the irre­sponsible, the indifferent. I shall let you complete the list because I begin to sound ill-tempered. Why have I mentioned these people who seem to bear a slight re­semblance to some of my acquaintances in the Lethbridge Collegiate? Sim­ply because these peccadilloes and imperfections sometimes foretoken medi­ocrity of character in adulthood. And such mediocrity never will be missed. Alberta is coming of age this year and you are about to come of age, too. If the next fifty years of our province's life are going to be as productive as the first fifty years, the responsibility will be partly yours. There is a real contribution to your province's and country's development which you can make, provided, of course, that you are serious about the matter, not frivolous, irresponsible, or indifferent. Alberta has grown quickly and steadily in material wealth; in this respect her continued progress seems assured. But hero, as elsewhere in the world, industrial and economic development, the need for genuine under­standing of our neighbors at home and abroad, and the threat of Communism have brought us face to face with now arid serious problems. To help cope with those problems we need, for one thing, an informed, thinking public with a social conscience and a set oi spiritual values to live by. V/e need people who think straight, not dupes. We need people who do not waste the time and talents of others by shirking their jobs or doing sloppy work. V/e need people not content to spend ail their leisure submitting to being passively entertained, but eager to spend part of it in thinking, reading and discussing. We need people who live consciously by sound moral and spiritual values. This is the kind of responsibility which you can assume personally. Your share in the venture is as important as the next person's. And those of us who remain indifferent to the need, or shirk our duty ought really to be put on Ko-ko's list. Pago Eight Dear Grads: the (Sciv, npus from CATHY CHRISTOU from ROSALIND CORENBLUM Pembina Hail. U. of A. Edmonton, Alberta April 26, 1955 Dear Compeers: McGill University, Montreal, Quebec May, 1955 With April exams over, I bid my "northern" friends gcod-bye (in my "southern" drawl). As, half sorrowful, half joyful. 1 leave our fair campus be­hind, 1 cannot help recalling some of my exper­iences of the 1954-55 term at the U. of A. It is easy to record major events which stand out like mile­posts: but how can one capture in words those things which really give a university its tanq. its ossontial flavor—Tucking (Campus Tuck Shop), sit­ting in stacks (not hay stacks—book stacks at the library) gossiping when you should be working; chuckling over the Gateway (campus newspaper), expecting a good mark and getting a terrible one— in short, all the trivialities, gay or serious or sorrow­ful. evoking tears or laughter. Yet such trivialities are a very real part of Varsity life. For who could forget the first explosion in Chcm. lab; the Engineers' pranks -"since youth having been cursed with a criminal mind" signs John T. Peabogartus Zachary Winterbottom — En­gineer for A.S.U.S.; we Pombinites (Girls' Resi­dence) and our late leaves; Waa Waa Weekend— taking males (including professors) out for coffee— (the masculine element seemed to be suffering from chronic impecuniosity), and the young Cassanova strolling across the campus in white bucks. When­ever House Ec. is involved, why is it associated with pots, pans and mops? 1 do not see any connection between pots and pans and chemistry. Zoo. and English. One day in the zoology lab. a would-be wit remarked. "I don't understand why, as a H.Ec. student you need to know anything about dissect­ing frogs—unless, of courso. Junior brings a frog in and you will have to throw :t out—or you may oven learn how to ccok frogs' legs." That remark was not a fair one. Wouldn't wo stay home and have mother teach us how to cook and sow? V/hy both­er with all that education? University and colleqiate involve different ways of lifo, in work as well as in play. Books and pro­fessors are provided; the use that the student makes of them is up to him. And now—a few words written on the board by one of our very dear chemistry professors—at the conclusion of our final lecture: "The fog moves in on little cat feet about the time of the April examinations and hovers over every desk, then moves on—only sometimes it doesn't." Good luck to you and may we welcome you to the University of Alberta next term. A feature of attending university in the East is the amount of western music you are forced to hsar. Everyone naturally thinks a guitar and horse are part of your essential equipment and cheerfully tunes in every western proqram on both French and English stations. That's just one of the delights of attending Canada's most cosmopolitan university in her largest city, seventy per cent French and one hundred per cent topsy turvy. The university and residences are in the heart of Montreal, surrounded by all the campus fixtures . . . the Students' Union, centre of all activities; Royal Victoria College, home of three hundred women students and butt of every campus joke; the fraternity houses, which once rated an article in "Flash"; the Shrine, favorite drinking spot; — thG young Med. student who, returning in September, ordered the cab driver to deliver him to the Shrine, and was taken to the Shrine of Brother Andre, a magnificent Roman Catholic basilica. It's an experience to live on one floor with people from Nova Scotia to Brazil to New Jersey, and hear a girl from India declare she's making all her saris out of plastic now. It's an experience to live in Montreal, a city where women can't wear shorts, but which runs wide open even on Sunday; to walk on Mount Royal and stand on the spot where Jacques Cartier planted his cross; to head "up north" to the Laurentians or down to Vermont to take in a week-end's skiing; to attend the football games where the University of Toronto Blues al­ways seem to wallop our Redmen. It's an experience to take classes in the old graystono buildings on the lovely campus, when a certain economics professor would come to class slightly tipsy, and a philosophy professor, staunch­ly anti-American, would arouso the ire of a class three quarter American: "A United States Em­pire? Blackmail all round"; the sly grins from science students when you admit you're in Arts, the loud singing when someone begins "James McGill, James McGill, Peacefully he slumbers there . . . ." and the great thrill when you say. "I go to McGill." Page Nineiltt iflimtnrutm Maurice Cohon was born in Calgary on the third oi January, 1936. A student at Central School and Hamilton Junior High until 1951. when he entered the L. C. I., Mo was one of the most popular boys in his class. Ho was a sound student, highly regarded in the Lethbridge community. A born leader, he served as president of the Students' Council during the 1953-54 term. Maurice was editor of the 1954 Spotlight and, at one time, of the L. C. I. Gazette. He was also a familiar figure in the school orchestra, on the drama stage, the football field and in the Teen Club, as a member of its council. Of a religious nature and possessed of outstanding oratorical ability, he was widely re­spected in his church. An enthusiastic member of the B'nai BTith Youth Organization, he was twice elected president of the North-West Region. (Alberta and Saskatchewan) and became its first member over to serve on the National Executive. Mo was noted for his sense of humour, his friendly smile and his simple sincerity. His death on the twenty-first of February, 1955, came as a great shock to his many friends. UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA Mary Acki Caihto Ch::stcu Gran!

ELECTIONS During the last week of September, i954. a pre­cedent was set when Jon Tollestrup became the first to attain the L.C.I. presidency by acclamation. It was a good choice, for Jon, with the help of an energetic council, has done an exceptionally fine job this past year. The rest of the council, follow­ing a vigorous campaign, was chosen as follows: Vice-President . Vaughan Hembroff Secretary . Carole Ponech Treasurer Betty Beimler Treasurer .Gras me Chester Thanks for an exciting year. kids. CAREER GUIDANCE On Friday, January 21, the grade eleven and twelve students had the opportunity of catching a glimpse into possible futures. To give advice to the students, iive men gave their lime to the L. C. I. in an effort to help settle many yet-unsettled minds. Dr. A. J. Cook, head of the student Advisory Ser­vice of the University of Alberta, showed slides of the campus and answered students' questions about university requirements and courses. L. A. Jveson, of Imperial Oil, spoke of the opportunities in the fields of engineering. Other information was given by E. C. Henderson of the Henderson Secretarial School in Calgary: A. A. Aldridge of the Alberta Department of Education, and W. A. B.

Warren Elliott Secretary Carol Stovonson Treasurer . 3ill Lincjard Advisor . Herb Shector The Booster Club consisted of a group of active students willing to give their time and effort to their school. These members worked hard because of the approaching football season. For oach and every game they sold tickets, distributed advertis­ing and programs, limed the field, and in general made themselves extremely useful. This year wo had the use of the finest, most up- to-date facilities, namely, the Civic Centro Grounds This added convenience brought forth some of the largest crowds ever to witness high school football in Lethbridge. The Booster Club also managed to put over a very successful football parade, using convertibles to carry our victorious football players, accompan­ied by the L. C. I. Cheer Girls, through the down­town section. The Student Body was very pleased with the splendid job done by the club. Some of the pro­ceeds went to purchase football equipment and to provide the footbali banquet, which will bo remem­bered by everyone concerned. Although the club was disbanded following the football season, it is hopsd that next year it may be made a year-round organization, with one or two teachers as super- visors. The executives would like to thank all the mem­bers who helped in any way to put this year's activities over with such a BANG! ! ! !

Attending both football and baskotball games, they endeavourod to boost school spirit and :n so doing, help the teams climb to greater heights. The 1954-1955 squad was composed of eight girls—three veterans. Libs Cameron, Eleanor For­ward and Bev Brunelle, and five newcomers, Carol Watson, Joan Rushford, Bov Umber. Dixie Wilmot and Norma jean Kew. It is to be hoped that next year will bo even more successful. With more cooperation from the students this could certainly be possible. GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Cousins, the Glee Club completed a full season of singing. During the Christmas season the chorus presented a half- hour carol programme over CJOC, while at the an­nual Variety Show, they presented a variety of numbers, including a scone from the "Mikado." To add to their activities, the Glee Club entered a Christmas tree in the Student Council tree-decorating contest. The chorus hold a wind-up party on June 1.Page Thirty-ono ROMEO AND JULIET On Monday, November 29, the L. C. I. Students' Council sponsored British Columbia's Lancaster Theatre Company, with their presentation oi "Romeo ana Juliet." A large crowd of both students and adults turned out to see the excellent performances of Derek Ralston and Rosemarie Meyerhoff in the leading roles. This drama, the first Shakospearean stage production seen by many of the audience, added greatly to the students' appreciation of "the Bard.' COLLEGIANS B. R. Jonoj, R. Smith, H. Ritchio. B. Strcr.q. R. Whoolor COLLEGIANS Faithfully, every Wednesday noon, rain or shine, eight musically-minded men (?) trudged to the stage of the L. C. I. auditorium and emitted those notes which were heard so often at student dances. The Collegians have worked hard this year, and wa thank them for the music they gave us. The orch­estra this year consisted of: Ray Wheeler, Piano Ron Jones, Drums Howard Ritchie, Trumpet Bruce Haig. Trombone Ross Harvey. Trombone Brian Strong, Tenor Sax Mo Cohen. Alto Sax Ron Smith. Alto Sax SKATING PARTIES The L. C. I. hold two skating parties at the Leth­bridge Arena, ana large crowds attended both. Even the teachers lot down their hair, donned skates, and joined students for pleasant evenings of fun in skating. Page Thirty-two JUNIOR UNITED NATIONS CLUB Back Row: Mr. Rudd. B. C'ark.

N. under the direc­tion oi Mr. Rudd, contributed hard work and co-op- eraiion and came out with an enjoyable year of service. At the first mooting, Doreen Gelfond and Lillian Bobinec, last year’s delegates to the United Nations Summer School in Banff, spoke on their trip, giving the highlights of the program. When Dr. Ernes! Watkins, famous B.B.C. com­mentator, addrossod a public meeting in the city, momhers of the Junior U. N. assisted the Senior Club by selling tickets and ushering. In December, twenty New Canadian children wore ontertained at a Christmas party in the Y.M.C.A. Tho young guests enjoyed the games and refreshments and each received a small gift. Other programs included a film on the U. N. and a recorded talk on India by Miss Pat Vos. To advertise the work of the club, display win­dows wore set up in both the L. C. I. and St. Joseph's. The largest fund-raising project was tho sale of home-made candy at the Lethbridge and District Drama Festival. The proceeds, which amounted to thirty dollars, were sent to Korean Relief. A very fine letter of appreciation was received from Dr. Lottie Hitchmanova, executive director, recognizing this donation. Again this year, the club is helping to sponsor two delegates to tho Jr. U. N. Summer School which will be held in 3anff in August. One delegate will be a student from the L. C. I. and one from St. Joseph's. To conclude a busy year the group held a thea­tre party as a social event.SHALL VVE DANCE? True to form, the L. C. I. student body com­menced their activities with lightly-tripping feet. On October first we held a Get-Acquainted Dance to introduce the Grade 10's and the new students to our social life. A large crowd attended to hear the school orchestra give its first performance for the season. Graeme Chester and his partner, Barbara Metcalfe, won the spot dance. On October 22, Jack Patey's orchestra provided music for a general dance. This again showed that our school spirit was percolating. School spirit abruptly changed to "Dogpatch Spirit" on November 12th, when we dressed as the Yokums for our annual Sadie Hawkins' race and dance. After placing tags reading "This is My Man" on their victims in the afternoon, the girls es­corted their men, vegetable corsages and all, to the evening dance, where Eleanor Podborski and Bob Holland were awarded prizes for the most or­iginal costumes. The costumes for our next dance were semi- formals for girls and suits for boys, for it was our Christmas Prom, on December 22. After passing along the receiving line, we danced to the music of Jack Patoy's orchestra, surrounded by beautiful decorations put up by Bev Brunelle, Joyce Fairbairn, and their committee. The "Gazette" rccoivcd a prize ior having the best decorated tree in the Stud­ents' Council-sponsored contest. Though wo had no decorations for them, our Basketball Dances received their beauty from our usual victories which preceded them. These dances were all well attended by not only L. C. I. students, but also by those from out-of-town schools. The music for all of these dances was supplied by the Collegians. After several cancellations wo held a Hat Dance on April 1st. Obviously attic trunks had been ransacked, for some of the creations which appeared seem to bo centuries old. The dance was most enjoyable, with the Collegians again holding up tho musical end. Nicky Kucheran's orchestra played tho music for that memorable evening of June 9lh, the Grad­uation Prom. This dance was formal for graduat­ing students and "heels and hose" for all other girls attending. This was really the highlight of the sea­son, and an evening which all the graduates will be able to reflect back upon with pleasure and pride. Truly it provided a fitting end to the L. C. I.’s 1954 - 55 season of "tripping lightly their merry way." VARIETY SHOW Following a vigorous ticket-selling campaign headed by Mr. Neville, a record attendance of over one thousand attended the annual L. C. I. Variety Show on Monday, March 21. Mr. Cousins directed and emceed tho very enjoyable two and one-half hour show. Mr. Rea's, drama class presented the play, "The Courting of Marie Jonvrin," v/ith Joyce Fairbairn and Ken Mayne in the leading roles. Under the direction of CYirol Stevenson and Ann Leggett, a good supporting cast aided in one of the better per­formances pul on by L. C. I. students. Besides tho several numbers presented by the L. C. I. chorus, under Mr. Cousins' direction, the program included: piano solo—Pamela Russell; vocal duet—Doreen Riedel and Bernice Lancaster.- violin solo—Gary Ellison; scene from the "Mikado" — Glee Club; pantomimes — Howard Ritchie; tumbling and box-horse display—Miss Clark's class; vocal solo—Madge Bruce; instrumental numbers— Collegians; vocal group -L.
