Actually, these mind -blowers are amateurs, and are only acting out the part as a skit for a "lit" program held recently at F. E. Madill Secondary School. It's good training for the . Drama Club members. (Staff Photo) Student participation big thing in dramatics Student participation is the big thing in 'dramatics as studied at F. E. Madill Secondary School. Somewhere between 150 and 200 students are involved in varying degrees through the school drama club or in more formal classes in which possibly 45 are taught by staff member Paul El- gi e . The Advance -Times reporter - photographer attended dress re- hearsals for a recent series of skits being prepared for a "lit" meeting and found Mr. Elgie.di- reeling the session from lighting effects to getting the right ex- pressions on the faces of pseudo "pot" smokers. Paul was in a number of high school plays himself and hasn't forgotten what it's like on that end of things. It encouraged him to study drama at Pasadena Playhouse and he has been in- volved with Little Theatre groups in Ontario, notably at London where he directed and also took part in one of the. Northern On- -tariO ,drama festivals. He also was involved in the "Purple Patches" activities at University of Western Ontario and has maintained his interest in theatre since high school days. Enthusiasm of the participants has got to be the big .thing, and here the students themselves are given as much scope as possible, and encouraged to write their own creative ideas as they ger- minate. On top of formal studies, club activities and seminars, a major dramatic production, possibly a musical involving the maximum number of students, taking in all the on and off-stage jobs will materialize. Children told giving rodentandsi- self sacrifice BELGRAVE — White Gift, Sun- day was observed in Knox United Church on Sunday. George Proc- ter, superintendent, gave the call to worship. - The members of the intermedi- ate. bpys' and girls' class read the Psalm in unison. Three of their members, Doreen Taylor, Clif- ford Branton and Marjorie Nixon read scripture passage related to the Christmas story and gifts. The envelope 'contributiens, which this year are being sent through the United Church for a • needy cause, were collected in two small decorated baskets by Howard Roberts and Gary Hop- per. Rev. John Roberts spoke main- ly to the members of the school who were seated in the front pews. He chose "Gifts" 'as his subject, comparing those given by prospectors of the Klondike Gold Rush, when gold was so plentiful that its true value was lost, to gifts which demand true sacrifice. He chose three men of the gold rush as examples of real sacrifice: a surveyor, a police- man, Sam Steele, and a Roman Catholic clergyman, William Judge who were outstanding in honest and sacrificial giving. He stated that to have real meaning a gift must make demandson oneself. The large choir, with Miss Brenda Johnston as organist, contributed a fine Christmas number "Ring, Bells of Christ- mas". 1 The service was much appreci- ated by the congregation. A reformer is someone who wants his conscience to be your guide.
