SEAFORTH HOCKEY CLUB._ The annual meeting of the Seaforth Hockey Club held in the town hall on Tuesday evening, Dec. 1st, was very enthusiastic. About 200 hockey fans and prominent people were pres- ent. Last year was very successful financially and being well equipped with a surplus, they expect' to have a banner year. It was unanimously decided to enter an intermediate team in the O.H.A.' and N.H.L. They have many fast players with speed to burn and it is thought they will go high up on the hockey ladder. The people have heartily consented to give their support to this year's team, which is looking forward to a strenu- ous season. The players have begun practising outdoors and will be in excellent condition when they get on the ice. Many of the old players are available, and along with some new recruits, promise to furnish one of the best aggregations ever seen, al- though Seaforth has had many good teams in the past. Because of the interest shown in the intermediates, a Junior team was not decided on, but left for the consideration of the committee. Many junior players are available, but it is difficult to get the ice for practice. The Collegiate Institute have entered a strong team in the junior-wwossa and have been practising at the Stratford arena and will continue to do so eache we k until ice' is matte in the home rink. The following active committee who are especially interested in the welfare of the club was appointed:. President, R. N. 'Bissonnette; sec; treas,, A. W. Dick; coni nittee, W. J. Duncan, H. Johnston, J. E. Willis, R. Kerslake, • EXCELLENT CONCERT BY COLLEGIATE TEACHERS AND PUPILS. nt e ie ll p es a e e Et e The second annual comnienceme of the: Seaforth Collegiate Institut was held in Cat+ino's hall on Fr day evening last before ann audienc of over 700 parents and friends o the; students. The programme wa of a varied nature, -,and everybody' very evident pleasure carne •froe there not being 'a chill moment .a evening, and the entire entertainmen was carried through with the sna and vim of professionals. Th principal, -'Mr, W. G. Spencer, wa clrtairman. The programme bega with "0 Canada" by the school an audience, the Collegiate orchestra ae eumpanying. The orchestra wa indeed a treat and surprise and Mis Annan,. 'the leader, who is an accomp lished violinist, could -well he pleaser with its performance. "Tie othe members were Dorothy Kerslake Jack and Ed. Daly, Robert •Daymen Alvin Sillery and Robert 'Willis. Th presentation of diplomas was mad by Dr. F. J, Burrows, who made short address on the excellent work the school is accomplishing. Th Daisy Dance by the senior girls and the Butterfly 'Dance by Misses Sills ,and Wheatley, both of which dances were under the direction of -Miss Grieve, were very pretty. The Sword Dance by the junior girls and the Highland Fling by the senior girls, whioh were prepared by Miss Brown, drew much applause. Miss Greta Merner was accompanist. The boys' work was in charge of Mr. R. N. Blssomtette. The calisthenics by the junior boys was a revelation in what excellent results can be ac- complished with -training in this line. Rifle exercises by the rifle team and a camp fire scene were both interest- ing. .A solo and encore by Miss Lillian Wankel, accompanied by Miss Dorothy Robinson, were very much appi'eciated• An instrumental by Miss Gladys Way, "Evening Chines" was of a high order and a costume song "There Were Three Crows," by Messrs, Willis, Barber and Sillery was good; while the chorus "The Carnival" by the school, under the direction of Mr. Howey, was most impressive. The feature of the evening was the comedy in two acts, "The But- lers," under the direction of Miss /licks and. Miss Foreman, and to say that 'the audience thoroughly en- joyed every .minute of it is putting it mildly. The taste was as follows: Mrs. Hiram Baxter (Dorothy Kers- lake); Mr. Hiram Baxter (Karl Aunent); Sally Baxter (Hazel Haugh); Jennie Baxter (Ruth jar- rott); Lord Arthur Butler (Carl Aberhart) Arthur Boggs (Lawrence Webster)' ,Eliza Cope (Mary Jack- son); MarcAnn Baxter (Margaret McMillan); Sammy Baxter (Donald Aberhart). The evening closed by singing God Save the King. TheAproeeeds will be used for class room decoration, the library and equipment for athletics. CHOIR ENTERTAINED.
