Symes. The leading man’s part was taken by W. H. Cameron. Other
members making up a thoroughly satisfactory cast were Alfred Evans,
Ann Ferguson, Chris Taylor, Betty Buckland, Ruth Bostock, and K. I.
Knight. At the time of going to press, two of the major parts and
several of the minor ones have not yet been assigned. St. John Madeley
and H. Tull are still competing for Claud, while Archie Dick and Jack
Ruttan try for Hiram Walker. The places of a butler and a maid have
not yet been filled.
The Executive in charge during the year was made up of President,
Winston A. Shilvock; Vice-President, Eileen Griffin; Secretary, Alice
Morrow; Treasurer, James A. Gibson; Committee, St. John Madeley,

ist; Ian Douglas, baritone; Jean Black, pianiste; George Holland, accor
dionist; and Kay Reid, soprano.
The Music Committee, composed of Dr. McDonald, Mr. Williams,
Nelson Allen and Jean Fisher, were responsible for the choice of the
opera and the arrangements of recitals.
We cannot conclude this write-up without the tribute to Mr.
Williams, conductor, and the moving force behind the Society. It is
difficult to convey with so mundane a vehicle as language the apprecia
tion we hold for him and the place he occupies in the hearts of everyone
of its members. Suffice it to say that were it not for his genius as a
conductor and his effervescent personality the ‘Pirates of Penzance”
would have been a sorry performance. We sincerely hope that when
next spring comes around the baton of C. Hadyn Williams will be waving
to the accompaniment of “We Sail the Ocean Blue,” or “We Are Gentle
men of Japan” or some other of the stirring choruses from the immortal
Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
Members of the Executive are as follows: Honorary President, Dr.
McDonald; President, Nelson Allen; Vice-President, Betty Smith; Sec
retaries, Dora Bush and Maysie Graham; Treasurer, Bob Brooks; Men’s
Representative, Bert Poole; Women’s Representative, Tsyko Legero.
Members of the Opera Committee are as follows: Dramatic Depart
ment, Robert Brooks and Victoria Rendell; House Management, Bert
Webber; Advertising, Jack Pearson and Ron Russell; Costuming, Ruth
McDonald; Property, Ev. Hurt; Stage, St. John Madeley.
