Star of the play, "directed by school inspector John Goman,' was Connie Ostland, right, who hopes to take up kittle Theatre work in London next year. Other members of the cast above are John Hendrick and Audrey Bentley. —Jack Doerr SHDHS Student Stars In Club's Connie Ostland, a 19-year-old high school student, proved her­ self one of the brightest proteges of the newly-formed Exeter Drama Club with her outstand­ ing performance last week in “Peg O’ My Heart,” the amateur group’s first three-act comedy. Daughter of Mr. pnd Mrs. Al­ bert Ostland, of town, the pretty blonde actress won acclaim from all quarters for her lively por­ trayal of an upstart Irish girl who played havoc with a family of English aristocrats. She was the star of the play, which attracted good crowds despite stormy weather. “Connie did an excellent job,” praised Director John Goman, the district public school inspec­ tor, who has had considerable experience in little theatre work in Kitchener. “I certainly feel she made the most of her part.” Blow the bugles!

Loans other than call, at $641,037,000, were also up appreciably, reflecting the growing needs of the economy. The rate of increase was slower than last year, and loans taper­ ed off noticeably towards the year-end. Securities at $308,447,- 000- remained at about the same level as the previous year. During the year, shareholders’ investment rose to $68,431;000, an increase of one-third. The in­ crease resulted largely from the response of the bank’s offer on May 31 of 300,000 shares of new stock. Profits, before depreciation and taxes, amounted to $8,909,- 000. Provision of $1,569,000 was made- for depreciation on bank premises, and $3,550,000 for tax­ es, leaving a net profit of $3,790,- 000.

After every male in the cast tries to marry Peg, she finally accepts the proposal of the chief executor of her uncle’s will. Hartley Manners’ comedy pro­ vided many moments of humour for the 500 who attended the two- night production. Director Go- man kept “Peg” moving at a rapid pace which, coupled with its star’s vivacity, held the audi­ence enthralled throughout. Although Mr. Goman has made a hobby of drama for many •years, this was the first three- j act play he has directed. As an ! actor, he took part in a play {which reached the Dominion i Drama Festival finals last year. Mrs. Goman has been active also ; in theatrical work in Kitchener. j Praises All Of Cast j ■ The cast spent a month produc- ‘ ing the play and Director Goman praised the excellent co-operation he received from all members of the cast. “I was certainly pleased' with the development the cast showed from the time it began rehearsals,” Lc said.
