Dick Pearce, in the second play, as the "no‘coumt‘" boy did his part well. His harmonica playing was good, and the other players â€" J. Mitchell and O. Heikkila â€" as negro lovers were excellent in their roles. J. Hamel as the old negro woman played well. A reception at the Airport Hotel was held in the afternoon, and many friends of the young couple were preâ€" sent to offer good wishes. Darwin Aitken is a coming pianist. As a young student of music he plays really well. As a composer (he played one of his own compositions "Polanâ€" naise") he deserves more than passing comment. This lad is clever, and should be encouraged to continue this particular path in music. The oneâ€"act plays brought their share of applause. In "Shivering Shocks" â€" a ‘mysteryâ€"bomb‘ play the outstanding characters were Don Suâ€" therland (in whose apartment as disabled veteran he had to submit to the machinations of pseudo. Scotâ€" land Yard officials who. were really holdâ€"up men) and George Fera, who impersonated an inebriated taxiâ€"driver with a great deal of cleverness. George was really the smart detective, who put on an act to save the bomb formula. Others. who helped the act were Don Somerville, A. Abhsdahl, R. Cameron, G. Wallace, E. Tudominen and D. Dunâ€" bar February l4th. â€"‘The ceremony \ performed by Revd. Father LaSa;ne.r The bride, given in marriage by her father, Mr. W. C.

They left later for a honeymoon in Embro, and other points in Southern Ontario;: and will res:de in the Wilâ€" sn block. South Porcupine on their Marilyn Cliff and ~Barbara Raymer in a pianofort duet were well applaudâ€" Robert Murray MacDonaid in the vesâ€" try of St. Joachim‘s Church on Friday fullyâ€"costumed and gracefully danced. Eda Franceschina has a nice soprano voice and was heard to advantage in "Indian Love Call" and "Night and Day." Most outstanding feature of the evâ€" ening (in our opinion) was the tumâ€" bling and gymnastic exhibmop by, aâ€" bout a dozen boys from‘ all #orms. This was really clever, showed excelâ€" lent timing and was a distinct credit to the athletie teacher of the school. We extend best wishes for future happiness to Mr. and Mrs. MacDonald. The ‘orchestral was really good â€" Miss Kautto responsible â€"â€" and the glee club‘s rendition of two partâ€"song numbers tuneful and pleasâ€" ing. Gifts were exchanged as Valentines.
