Sunday Musicale
Sunday night our program was a
varied one with regards composers,
but consisted mostly of piano work.
Many of the compositions were quite
modern, the work of some of our
greatest contemporary artists.
Claude Debussy-noted for the
brightness of his music. It is light,
but this quality does not deprive
it of any beauty as all of his works
are very melodious. We heard
".Tardins sous la Pluie” played
Walter 'Gieseking.

most famous modern composers.

Emergency
Monday night when the scheduled
movie did not arrive a sing-song
and quiz programme was quickly
organized in the Recreation Hall.
'Led by Ev. Inch, with the talented
Freddie Godwin at the piano, the
old familiar songs were sung and
an impromptu duet was given by
two of our aspiring stars.
The Quiz was fun because every-
was such a good sport. Smattered
with Inch’s Wit the programme roll
ed merrily along with candy for
prizes and the losses ibuilt into a
jackpot. Aside from an embarrass
ing answer concerning the differ
ence between husbandry and mater
nity the quiz was carried out
smoothly,
•An informal dance to records
completed the evening. ,Do you want
to do it again?
The regular All Ranks dance in
the Drill Hall Tuesday night was a
quite dignified affair. A lot of care
was taken with the lighting system
resulting in a pleasing soft effect.
A jitterubg contest was introduced
(we think it should be continued)
and the judges, after a lot of heavy
thinking, finally uncrossed their
eyes and awarded the prize to,Elain
Dixon, Toronto and iBarney Barnett,
London, a smooth team. We parti
cularly enjoyed the "waltz inter
mission.” There was room to per
form mand see some outstanding
dancing.
■ Handicrafts
Handicrafts too have received a
lot of attention this week. Quite a
few are dropping in at odd hours
to get material with which to work.
We reneat that we are happy to go
over to the Craft Shop any time
convenient for you. Regular meet
ings are held every Thursday night.
