SOUTHGATE COUNTY OLD SCHOLARS-
DRAMATIC SOCIETY.
Secretary: Vera Elston, 5, Boundary Crest, Firs Lane, N.21.
It is debatable whether the Society were wise making " Three
Cornered Moon " their fifth production,, ;although it must be
admitted it gave the members great opportunities to act; the
subtleties of the play were not fully appreciated and the general
feeling- was that the Rimplegar family, around which the play
centred, were just a little too impossible.
Outstanding in the excellent cast was Dorothy Thorn, who
played throughout with charm and sincerity, and another newcomer
to the Society, R. A. Ewin, did splendidly in a very difficult
part despite the handicap of 'flu . The humour in the play
was admirably introduced by Marjorie Pearce, whilst Denis Panwas
very impressive in the only really sensible role in the play.
However, much of the credit must fall to the producer, May
Cawkwell, who evolved order out of seeming chaos, and the
Society need never fear a " flop " when benefiting by her invaluable
help. The assistance rendered in various ways by our
President, Mr. Everard, and members of the Staff, notably Miss
Jeans, Miss Rogers and Mr. Paul, was very much appreciated.
The Society has several new members for its next production
and hope as many Old Boys and Old Girls as can will come
along on Friday or Saturday, February 25th and 26th, to " The
Middle Watch," by Ian Hay.

SOUTHGATE COUNTY OLD GIRLS' HOCKEY CLUB.
The Old Girls' Hockey Club is now in its third season, and
is at last beginning to flourish—we are running two XIs. The
first XI. is so far proving to be quite strong and is improving
every week—this is no doubt due to Ethel McLeans' (Mrs.
Samuels) coaching at the beginning of October. The second XL
is much stronger and they are beginning to play as a team. We
have twenty-six members and there is still room for a few more
members, but if the influx is greater we could consider running
three XIs.
So anyone who is keen on Hockey and is likely to be leaving
school soon, just call and see me and I'll give you full details.
We have a good fixture list, matches against the Banks and
