THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ow PAGE ELEVEN Hi-Tide JIM LAVIS y These last few weeks there's been a gray lull hanging over the school. Exams are over and Easter holidays, a bright spot to look forward to, at least, are just another week away. But meanwhile the air around the place is heavy with lethargy. It's that dark interval when you look out the window at the mud puddles and the last patches of snow are running into the sewers. Right now, there's a depressing rain slashing against the windows and the kids are combing the water out of their hair. This is the time, too, when you begin to realize that the school year is gradually waning away. We don't know; spring arrives tomor. row, but where is that blissful feel- ing that Rodgers and Hammerstein immortalized in one of their tunes? Phratry basketball-- the Britons face the Saxons in a final sudden death game next Tuesday at 5:15, with the Saxons meeting the Norm_ ans on the same basis at 7:30 on the same night. Reports were made out last Wed- nesday amid the usual rasping of ink eraser and feverish reaching for blotters. Writing the darn things is hard enough; but a lot of people are almost faced with the problem of getting it signed without your mother and father learning the awful truth. To these .we say better tackle them right after din. ner, when they're still in a comatose state. And plans are going ahead for the Pan-American dance to be held on April 14. The plan seems to be to have all attending wear costumes symbolic of their native lands. The one big hitch is whether it'll be a tea dance or a regular. The govern. ment, with its customary efficiency and despatch, has not yet decided. Last Friday the school's five.man delegation boarded the bus for the East York Collegiate to view their newly-formed Congress. Meanwhile, back at O. C. V. I. a group of fifth and fourth formers wrestled with the first form classes in the vain at- tempt to keep order in the library. Some of the little fiends even tried to incite a revolution, while others sat back and heckled. Seems kind of hard to believe that we were ever like that, doesn't it? And so the curtain comes down to-night on the last performance of "You Can't Take It With You." Most of the school has already seen it by this time, so we're not launch. ing into a detailed description of plot and characters. Instead, in a few paragraphs we'd like to. take you behind the scenes and show you what actually made the play. Fun. ny thing. When yu sée a play, you immediately think of it in terms of the actors' performances. It's their characterizations upon which you base your judgment of the play, whether it's good er bad or merely stinks to a moderat€ degree. But the majority of an audience seldom asks itself what makes the actor good. Part of it is due to an under. standing of the role, to imagination, and to just hard work. Yet by far the most important factor in the actor's work is the direction which he receives. And so often in the case of good play. this direction is forgotten in the audi- ence's enthusiasm for the plot and for the execution of the plot. That's why the entire cast would like to thank Mr. Winter for the wonderful job he did in coaching them. For in spite of the congratulations they've received they realize that the Drama Club and all its productions would néer have come into being, had it not been for Mr. Winter. And 'to those who were impressed by the smoothly regulated ' performances, we say it wasn't always like that. In the dark, hectic weeks before the opening some of the rehearsals were s0 bad that it was generally advis- able for the spectator to take along some alka-seltzer in case indigestion developed. We mean it. And so the members of the Drama Club doft their hats to "Ernie" Winter, who put them through their paces with skill and patfence during all those tortuous weeks, and the swell guy who made it all possible. Next we make a big bow to Miss Kelly and Miss Laird, who scoured the town for printing presses, snakes, and tomatoes and to Miss Ironside who brushed us, whisked us, and pinned us up. To the Art and Woodworking Department for their handsome set, to Mary Carn. with, Joan Shreve, Joan Whattam, Joan Grant, Stirling Morison, and Joyce (we never learned your last name) and all the others who painted our wrinkles and gave us support, both moral' and physical, just before the curtain went up, we say "Thanks!" And from ourself, thanks for all the other members of the cast for such a swell time. When the curtain goes down tonight for the last time, while we'll feel relieved, we'll feel a little melancholy, too, thinking of all the good times that are gone. But we'll still remember Joy Camp. bell sitting absorbed in Huxley while everyone wondered whose cue it was, those foul tomatoes that we had to bite into every evening, Les Reid's aching Wagnerian crescendos on his xylophone, and those cans of salted peanuts which Peter Baluk handed around at those Friday night rehearsals. We'll still remem- ber Clive Aldwinkle and Jim Scam. mel giving the piano a workout, Roy Mozewsky's rich eastly Russian laughter, Joy Bunker's 1920.vintage costume which made her look like Sophie Tucker's double, and those times when there were six of 'us crowded on the stairs, waiting, and wiping. each others' foreheads with kleenex. Yep, we'll remember "You Can't Take It With You" and we'll smile, People: Seems as if the old gang is gradu. ally drifting away and venturing out into the wide world.

The day was a beautiful warm 17th of Irciand day and simply coaxed everyone to come out which they did. The ladies in charge of the St. Patrick's tea did themselves proud on keeping everything atguned to the day. The room looked pretty wi. gay green and white checked gingham curtains and the sham- rock of Ireland bloomed everywhere. Best of all the neighbors and friends turned out en masse to en. Joy the St. Patrick's tea and to help make it a splendid success.

Mrs. Gray read an interesting article from "The United Church Observer" concerning Rev. Dr. Geo. E. Darby of Bela Bela, B.C. This was especi- ally interesting as Miss Gwenyth Schell R.N., is now nurse assistant to him. After hearing the paper as read by Mrs. Gray, describing the doctor who is physician, minister and judge at Bela Bela, all felt that Gwen must be having a most interesting experience at this her first post. Mrs. Schell told how hap- py her daughter is at Bela Bela, and 'all wished for Gwenyth con. tinued happiness and success, Mrs. Smalley then related several current events. The motion was made by Mrs. Schell and seconded by Mrs. Noland that the Missionary funds on hand be made up to $10 to be forwarded to 'the Mission Board.

The viliage weather has been sun. ny and warm for the past couple of days. It rained gently all day on Monday, so the usual blue Monday wash job had to wait over until Tuesday, which certainly was a very windy day. We had only succeeded in getting the sheets firmly, as we thought, pinned on the clothesline, when 4 gust of wind came and blew them over the yard. However, we cheerfully went to work on said sheets once again and got them on the line only to have the whole line of clothes break, so we jus gave up.
