monies were held in the school hall

held his young hearers spellbound by
his eloquent portrayal of the life and
the achievement of the great Catholic
discoverer. The musical program
rendered by the De La Sale orches-
ira, under the direction of Brother
Henry, was an agreeable surprise to
the student body as well as to the
Reverend Clergy in attendance The
harmony and technique with which
difficult selections, principally patri-
otto, were played, would have done
credit to musicians of much wider
experience. Master Malcolm Josie re-
cited Love of Country"

partment, while the boys of C-3 soar
high above their opponents in must
