We completed our Christmas exams, preparations for the concert were in their final stages, and tickets were made and sold on a turkey. Our Christmas concert was post- poned from Thursday night to Sun- day night due to the weather. On Sunday night the Dublin Con- tinuation School and the Dublin Separate School put on their concert in the parish hall. A large crowd was in attendance. After a splendid performance on behalf of the Sep- arate School, the High School stu- dents displayed their talents. Alice Ryan, our student president, acted as chairman. Following her introduc- tory address was the opening chorus consisting of the entire student body. A play "Mr, Cox and Mr. Box" followed the chorus. A dance per- formed by a group of girls and a violin selection by Bob Kelly consti- tuted the next number. The sixth number was a play. entitled "What will we give Dad?" A tableau entit- led "A Christmas Crib on Main Street" followed. Rev. Dr. Ffoulkes gave a very brief but enjoyable talk which concluded the programme. We wonder! What students neg- lected to remember the date of eui Christmas concert? Is smoking a pipe the new fad among one of our senior boys?
