KELL.ER Trigon '76 , was staged at GDCI last weekend on Friday and Saturday evenings and audiences• had another op- portunity to view some fine dramatic efforts by the local high school students. Five prays were presented • in .this year's offering, one written and directed by student Rob. Bundy, and one. written and directed by • teachers Eleanor and Warren, Robinson: . Bundy's. play - The Balcony was short and punchy and. ended by the lovely "Ken" Reynolds as Max stepping out onto a `balcony that really wasn't there ' and .suitably ending the problem en- countered by the -other two spies on stage -'Dan Donnelly as Denninger and David Saint -John as • Richards. Author .Bundy made° a brief appearance on stage as the waiter. Max, supposedly the master . of disguise, really wasn't much of a .master at all. "Ken". Reynolds was• really Kathy .Reynolds who appeared later in the evening ' as Princess Alexandra in. Not Far. From The .-'Giaconda Tree. The Robinson play - Troll Out Of Tune - was a delightful offering with lots of color, lots of . spirit and some very pleasant music. It was a particular favorite .with the many children who attended on both evenings. The two other playa were Babel Rap and•Two Sides Of Darkness-. The best play of the evening was Babel . Rap by • John Lazarus, directed by Eleanor S Tecichersi Tdimpute with 'board •.•. (continuedfrom, page 1A) percent apart in their position (a dif- ference'of approximately $38,000) I do not believe this matter will constitute an insuperable obstacle to a settlement." • .The teachers propose that C.O.L.A. be calculated on the basis of salary -x percentage increase in consumer price index from August, 1976 to the end of July', 1977. The teacher's also propose- a "triggering" mechanism to take effect • after a 3.5 percent increase in consumer price index. The teachers propose that the C.O.L.A. be paid in August, 1977. The Board , proposes - one-third of teacher's annual salary.• Percentage increase in consumer price index from ' November, 1976 to March, 1977 (payable in April, 1977) and from April, 1977 to ` July, 1977 (payable in August, 1977). The Board isprepared to guarantee that the C.O.L.A. payable shall not be le,ss than that paid for the 1975-76 school year (i.e. 1,7 percent). The teacher's wish tohave the following claust; inserted in.. then. collective agreement: "The cost of living allowance will be .. folded intothe grid figures for future calculations". BOARD RESISTING : - Thp Board resists the inclusion of this phrase for two reasons: no one knows at this stage precisely what will happen to the cost of living; and they wish to avoid fettering future Board negotiating committees. - "I do not wish to comment -on the varying .methods of calculation, beyond stating that I am satisfied that it is not the method of calculation but the an- ticipated amount of the payment which underlies this dispute. On .the rnetusion of the clause, the Board recognizes, as do I, that it is difficult in .practice to prevent a C.O.L.A: clause from being folded into future calculations. But the Board's objections, to inclusion of the clause in the collective agreement seem to me valid, and I recommend that this clause not be included in the collective agreement," Mr. Hunter says in the report. • . • The matter in dispute is thenear- perennial question of whether' or not incremental increases in salary should be included in calculating the base cost to: which the . percentage increase is applied. This argument predates the advent of the Act and the fact-finding process, and it will, no doubt,outlast it as well. "i have heard and understood the, arguments on both ' sides, from the ' teachers for excluution, and from the Board for incjusion," he says. "In my opinion, incremental increases are indisputably a cost itefn to the Board; also, they increase the total compensation package received by a teacher. -'Accordingly, I believe that the - Board's method of"calculating the cost base, including increments,._ .I is reasonable." (6) Section 22 Considerations "I invited submissions from both parties ;:on the -•four enumerated con- siderations specified in section 22 .of the - Act. To some extent; the parties'. written and oral submissions addressed themselves to subsections (a) and (c). These submissions were considered in preparing this report, but ,I decline to comment specifically on any of these subsections; Hunter concluded. CU F� wed someexc lient falent Robinson, Phil Main and Rob Bundy. Main and Bundy also played the parts in the production, Bundy as the smoker, Main as the worker. The subject of the play was. the Biblicalc account of the Tower of Babel whish the people in . those days , at- tempted, to build to heaven. The play was set' high' up in clouds at the 2,000,000th level and•featured Bundy and Main in an argument about all aspects of the work on the tower. . - ' The simple • set was . scaf- folding and ladders, but it didn't take the audience long to get the feel of the play and forget that it was taking place in the GDCI auditorium. Bundy and Main are •two skillful r actors with much natural ability to boot. Bundy, usually entertaining onstage, was at his best as the thoughtful • skeptic who would rather smoke and consider than work and•hope. ,Plain ';portrayed .the willing worker with much gusto, and moved about on:the sparse set with agility and assurance hammering and sawing, measuring and sanding with purpose: As the two mo ed along in the dialogue into the babbling; when understood the other, the switch was so cleverly executed that the audience ' was properly. mystified for the proper amount of time to allow the real meaning of play to make a profound impression. To choose between Bundy and Main for the best actor award ,would be more than thiswriter could do, so that top honor must be shared by 1876 1.976 -McKILLOP MUTUAL.

Coming up for honorable mention as best actor was ,another Rob, Rob McEwen who portrayed Troll Tygge in Troll Out Of Tune. Special mention should also be made for Darrell Kloeze who played the piano so well for Troll Out Of Tune. Best actress was Kathy Reynolds, for her portrayal of • Princess Alexandra ,in Not Far From The Giaconda Tree. Miss Reynolds played the part of a. ' woman of talent was Anne Marie Murphy as Trakk in Troll Out Of Tune. Miss Murphy was so vivacious and interested, she ivthe entire captivated audience with her antics and her, super facial expressions.

She carried it off beautifully, moving about the stage with haughtiness and speaking clearly, 'forcefully, always in command.
