Dedication Ceremony This Sunday

In memory of those men who lost their lives in World War II, a plaque bearing their names will be placed in a prominent place in the new building. The dedication and official opening of the building, and the unveiling of this roll of honour, will take place next Sunday, September 22, at 2.30 p.m. in a ceremony at the entrance of the building. Repeat performances of the play "Seagulls Over Sorrento" are to be given on Monday and Tuesday nights, and the inaugural ball will be held on Thursday night.

The work of installing seating and furniture was undertaken by R.S.A. members. They were hard at work last weekend when "Photo News" took these pictures to give the general public an idea of the interior of the new edifice. A full coverage of the opening functions and of the building in completed form will be given in the next issue of "Photo News".
