aret Henry, at home, and- '•Wm, R.

Holmes and Russell Holmes, a niece
and nephew who have made their

Three Christmas carols, Adeste Ff-
deles, Good Ring Wencelas, and The
First Noel, were splendidly sung by
the whole school. The singing and
the orderly way in which almost two
hundred pupils took their places an
the platform and, returned to •. their
seats showed conclusively that the
general behavior and discipline of the
school o01 t

Tu a briefw address of welcome, the
principal, Mr. Farmer, paid tribute to
the .splen'd•id work of the ech•olol in; the
past aind especially to the good work
of the previous principal, Mr. Spencer,
in administration and of Mr. Bisson-
nette in the work of physical training
with the boys. He discussed the pres-
ent attendance of the Collegiate, and
calling attentiin to the present dispro-
portion between the attend'an'ce of
girls and' boys in all but the first form,
suggested that there must be at least
another fifty boys, in. the district serv-
ed by the Collegiate who. are entitled
to secondary school education, who
might attendlfco'
unses wereprovided

as agriculture, ltur

would be more directly interested
than in the present academic course,
while it was quite possible that it such
Bourses ,were appreciated by the
people and provided
by the
Collegiate
the
e
the attendance might be raised' to
three hundred or more pupils.
An Old English _Folk dance,' by
girls under the direction of Miss Hell-
yen, dressed in Old English costumes
of blue and white, with white wigs,
was performed with remarkable grace
and finish.
The Athletic Chann2ions'hip shield,.
with the names of the field day chain -
pions en'gsa' -ed on the ,Maple Leaf for
1929, was presented by the Principal;;
and' .Championship Medals, gold for
the senior champions, silver for inter-
mediate, and bronze for the junior
champions, pons, were presented to the
winnters. The boys' championship
medal's were presented to Clarence
Trott, senior chgrapioan; Neil Tyndall,.
intermediate champion, and Earl
Gillespie, junior champion. Because
there had been some misunderstand-
ing whether all events or Duly those
counting in. the WOSSIA sports should'
count for the girls championship, two
senior mn
edals were a
warded - on.

met the requirements of twelve De-
partmental Examinations, including

Board of High School trustees, At
the request of the principal Dr. Ross
followed the presentation by a brief
address in which he spoke of the
splendid record of the Collegiate and
he real nature and value of education.
A very beautiful dance by girls un-
der the direction of Miss Gillespie was
the Butterfly Dance. The butterfly
costumes, with their brilliant colors
and transparent butterfly wings were
perhaps the most dainty and beautiful
of any ever seen in .Seaforth, while the
dance itself and the song accompani-
ment by two of the girls produced an
effect not soon to be forgotten..
"A 'Teen Age Comedy," under the
direction of Miss Rena Fennell, an
amusing comedy presenting the dawn-
ing of susceptibility to feminine
charms in the 'teen-age boy, was pre-
sented with a finish not common in
anta'tesr performance's, The cast in-
cluded Jack Hapkirk, Iiele'n Anaent,
Edith Wol'sh, George Crich and Mary

Asa •relief between the two plays a
group of clowns with bazoos end a

the atidience with their antics,
"A Case of Mistaken Identity," was
he second comedy of the evening and',
was given' by a group of pupils tinder'i
he 'direction .of Miss Sinclair. Those
aking ,pant were Ian MacLean, Elinor
urrows1 ,Henry McLeod and Jeann-
ette Pinnagass.
"The Midnight Conspiracy" with
darkened lights and; ' much mystery,
resented by Earl Gillespie, Eugene
uncan, Lorne Pinkney and Harry
McLeod, gave a final laugh before the
program was brought to a conclusion
with the chorus "Canadian Born" by
the whole ,school. .

Paramount's Super Spectacle
THE WORLD'S GREATEST CHARACTER ACTOR
EMIL MANNINGS
WITH LEWIS STONE, FLORENCE VIDOR, NEIL HAMILTON
Directed by ERNEST LUBITSCH from the stage play
Napoleon overshadowed nearly all the .men of his dray but there'
were other mighty soldiers and statesmen who have never received
their due because of the great Frenchman.
"T'H'E PATRIOT" brings to the screen and ,modern times a figure.
of history—,Mad Czar Paul I of Russia, son of Catherine the Great—a
son who inherited .the. fire of leis mother and the mentality of his father;
a character with the heart of a child and the. brain' of a tiger who pro-
ceeded at his mother's death to tear down all that had been built up,;;;
during Catherine's regime but whose friend was a Patriot.
"THE PAITIRiIIOT' is one of the screen's most tensely dramatic
pictures. Produced by Paramount on a tre'nnen•dously magnificent
scale, that assures it a ;place with their "Aibie's Irish Rose andd"Wings"
