On Saturday evening the pupils of the training department will present two interesting cantatas at the College Chapel. The first to be given is entitled "Peggy's Dream," The pupils of the third and fourth grades will sing the solo and chorus parts. The music is catchy and the action is full of life. The pupils of the 5th, Cth, 7th and eighth grades will present "A Merry Company" at the close of the first cantata. A jolly company of cadets and a number of girls out on a holiday picnic have a good time and the fun centres around the pranks of a girl and cadet who impersonate two peddlers.
