The fourth item on the annual entertainment programme was the portrayal of the Trial Scene taken from "The Merchant of Venice" being studied this year by the Matrics. The leading part, that of Portia, was admirably portrayed by Clare Adams, while Theodore Adams was outstanding in his part as Shylock. The other characters, Nerissa (Isabel Monteith), Duke of Venice (Bobby Dunbar), Antonio (David Westaway), Bassanio (Dick Griffin), Gratiano (Dick Cahilty), Salario (Lindsay Taylor), filled their respective parts exceedingly well, and, altogether, the scene was excellent—the rich costumes of the actors making the play very realistic.
The Musical Society
The greater interest in music has developed in the school this year under the enthusiastic leadership of Mr. Potter. A Glee Club has been formed with the object of training the students in part-songs. The one appearance of the Glee Club speaks well for its future success when it is more fully organized.
The High School Orchestra has performed creditably at several public functions this year. Its success may be attributed to the work of the individual players, and to the untiring efforts of its able director, Mr. Potter.
