PIONI III

An indication that there is a tendency for the youth to acquire a. bit more of higher education was pointed out by Right Rev. R.V. MacKenzie, D.D., Rector of St. Dunstan's University as he deliv- ered the Rector's Report at the University's commencement exer- cises yesterday afternoon.

Monsignor Macxenzie was re- ferring to the fact that this year approximately 60 per cent of the institution's enrollment -were in College years and 40 per cent were in high school. "This is a reversal of the condition. he stated. "which obtained here a few years ago. when the majority of the enroll- mcnt was in high school, Total enrollment for the year was 311, he stated, almost the same as that of the previous year.

"The building which last year we referred to as a prospect, is now near completion." he con- tinued. "It will provide a chapel. a. dining room and kitchen. and a residence for Sisters and maids. In addition to that it was deemed essential to erect a new laundry and boiler house to house a central heating plant.

"When this whole project will be completed we shall be at least S100.003. in debt. That is not is pleasant prospect. but it is one that must be met by every institution faced with the need for expansion. We shall always need the support of generous friends.

"Again our graduating class is of record size. 45 in all. 32 in Arts, and 13 in Science. We hope they will be able to meet lifeis prob- lems with competence and assur- ance; we hope they will continue to develop their talents. and that they will make some contribution to the betterment of their envir- onment. Very heartily. we wish them God-speed on life's journey.

"I wish to congratulate the stud- ent body on the interest they show- ed in the welfare of the College. and their initiative in undertaking extra-curricular activities. That in- illative, of course. has to be res- trained at times for their own wel- fare; when such activities seriously interefere with academic work. re- straint is necessary.

"The success. however. of the debating teams in winning the Maritime title, and of getting so very close to the Canadian title, merits our congratulation, The col- lege unit of the lniemational stu- dent services have again provided funds to take another D.P. student from Europe next year. The same body has negotiated with the I. s.s. to send a. student to Europe for summer school again this year."

New membe s welcomed to the staff during the year. he stated, were Mr. Gerald E. Clarke of oi.- tcwa who took over the duties of instructor in the Commerce Course and Rev. Vincent Murnnghan in the High school Department.

Brilliant 3-Act . Comedy Presented Al Baplisl Hall

' A large audience was in attend- ance at the Baptist Church Hall last evening to witness the first performance of the B.Y.P.U.'s pre- sentation of ”Nobody's Home."

A three-act comedy by Marion Short, the play is full of witty lines. and especially appealing to those who like light, almost farcical entertainment.

Under the direction of Mr. Syd Jeffrey, characters were well cast. and climaxes in each act were put over very well. Outstanding among the performances given were those of Windsor Brehaut as Jefferson D. Beiion, and Margaret MacEwen as Sarah Staples. Mr. Brehaut has a 'very easy going stage manner which lent itself ad- mirably to the role ofvthe nine cent store chain king. and Miss .MacEwcn's portrayal of the elder- ly. deaf solitaire player. was ex- tremely well done. Miss Mac- Ewen's costumes were worthy of special mention. being entirely in keeping with the role of the char- acter she played.

Make-ups for the entire cast were very capabiy handled by Miss Lillian Lewis of the Little Theatre Guild.

The well-balanced cast includ- ed Allison MacRae as Frank Har- rington. Gordon MacEachcrn as Budge. Keith Robinson as Mike. Mae Robinson as Vivian Staples. Kenneth Yet) as Nelson Hanby. Ena MacEachern as Anna Larsen, and Jeanette Ladner as the feath- er-braincd June Witmer.

Music between the acts was provided by Misses Barbara Rupert and Nancy MacNevin who sang "What Can the Matter Be?" and "Quicksilver". Mrs. A. MacRac was accompanist. and also play- ed a group of piano selections.

The play will be repeated this evening.

Government Support

Also strongly urged is the amendrment of the present Child- ren's Protection Act. to provide for the entire maintenance costs of childm committed to the care of the society by the court under the terms of the Act. Pending this action by the Legislature. it is proposed that the Government give an undertaitinl. as it does un- der its own Child Welfare Branch. to pay the maintenance costs of all words and appropriate for them out of government funds.

"If the Government is not pre- pared to give such an undertak- ing." the report states. "reorgani- zation of the Society would be doomed to failure before it started."

It is also proposed that the Gov- ernment guarantee a contribution towards the operating expenses of the Society, on the basis of one dollar from Government funds for every dollar raised privately for child welfare. as a. means of en- couraging local initiative.
