Literary Meeting
On Friday afternoon of December
11, the students pf W. D. H. S. had
the pleasure of witnessing this year's
second literary meeting. President
Roger West was master of ceremonies.
After the opening of the meeting with
"0 Canada," Jean Irwin read the
minutes of the previous meeting and
other intervening business. They were
adopted by the president.
To start the day's programme, the •
student body was favoured with a
piano solo by Margaret Perrie called
"Valle in B flat," Elaine Bolt enter-
tained an appreciative audience with
two accordion solos "Frosty, the
Snowman" and "Rudolph, the Red
Nosed Reindeer." Vaudeville made a
rare appearance when Lavonne 13al-
lagh and Hilary Bruder presented
their version of "Baby It's Cold Out-
slap" and "No Two People" as an en-
core. Next on the programme was a
song by Patricia Rider, "Holy Night"
accompanied by Catherine Keating at
the piano,
The Junior drama club then pre‘
sented a one act play "For Whom the
Telephone Rings." which was much
enjoyed. The participants ;n the play
were a disgruntled father, Bill Cob-
nell, a mother, Grace. Thompson; two
daughters, Joan Armitage and Sheila
Laidlaw; and a young man torn be-
tween two loves, Bey Brooks. The
students were moved to much laugh-
ter by the well, cultivated southern
accent of the pinal, participant, Aud-
rey Mahood,
FollOwing this the students heard
twd solos by Terry MeArdle, "The
World is Waiting for the Sunripe"
and "Silent Night." We were once
again favoured with a piano solo, this
time by Marilyn Weddis called "Even-
ing Chimes." Clifford Coultes drew
load applause With his interpretation
of " The Cremation of Sam McGee"
and a French-Canadian habitant's
story in verse "De Stove Pipe Hole."
The journal was read by George Hall.
A major part of it dealt with the
question of Santa Claus. Mr. Ritter
gave the eritic's mid the
meeting closed with the national ant.

It is the desire of our school to
have each arid eVery etudent cheese
his vocation with great care,
In lower sChool there is a guidance
period each week in which the teach-
er tries to help the student decide
hew be. might Omega his life's work,
Last Thursday afternoon
students were privileged to bear the
ministers, Rev. A, Nimmo, Rev, D,
MacRae, Rev, H, L Parker, and Rev,
W. T, Fulton, of the Presbyterian,
rated. and Anglican churches respect-
ively. •
These ministers presented to us the
greatest vocation of all, "The Chris.:.
tian Vocation."
It is believed that any vocation is a
Christian vocation if it is chosen for
the Glory of God and the furthering
of His Kingdom.
The boys were presented with the
never ending call to the ministry.
On a survey of past years we dis,
covered that most ministers enter the 4.4
1114‘10trY after a tow years' eaPerlenee
in a different OCCuPation. These few
years were Considered wasted as far
as the ministry is concerned and the
ministers believed if they could clear
up some rrdsunderstanding among
young people that more men would go
into the ministry at an earlier age and
thus live a fuller life, It was pointed
out to the boys that there was no full-
er of greater vocation than the min-
istry,
Without young men entering into
the ministry, the charch feels that,
many Of them are missing. the chance
to commune with Gad and to enjoy
the Christian fellewship that is en-
joyed by the ministerial brethMii,
There are fields of the Church for
young women too. For girls who are
interested in various church organiza-
tions, assisting ministers, and cara-
vanning, there is a never ceasing call
for deaconesses.
Today there is a great need for
nurses to help in the missionary hos-
pitals at home and abroad.
We would like to thank these mini-
stem for presenting to us the greatest

THE VOICE OF TEBITERAaTCE
A sort of Kinsey report on campus
drinking has been published recently.
It is an analysis of the survey con-
ducted by the centre of alcohol stud-
ies of Yale University, which has been
working on the problem of alcohol
for twenty years. Questionnairies were
sent to 17,000 men and women stud-
ents in twenty-seven colleges through-
out the country. Here are the conclus-
ions drawn from the answers. Where
both parents use alcohol 92% of the
men students drink also, and 83% of
the women. Where only one parent
drinks, the percentage is 83 of men,
54 of women. Where both abstain, it
is down to-58%a of men 23% of wom-
en. Clearly, parental example is an
important factor in the decision of
college youth about drinking.. What-
ever may be the facts about drinking
in Canadian colleges, that which holds
of parental example across the line
is probably equally true of canadian
youth in general,—ADVT. 16b
Canadians, during 1952, . gobbled
about 1-415 quarts of strawberries
each.
