Scottish music and dancing are a fine heritage from our ain folk in that grey rugged Homeland of ours.

A heritage which, I believe, will still be cherished when the syncopated rhythm of the African jungle which has rocked the world for the past. few years has shuffled into oblivion.

We all regret the absence to-day of our President. As first President of the Club, Mr. Stevenson has very ably filled the position, and we owe a great deal to his hard work in an advisory capacity and to his enthusiasm in taking part in the dances.
