Awni Bey al-Khalidi, with the Governor's wife on his left and, on his right, the representative of Belgium, then Dr. Khalaf, then Monsignor "Bouteau," and others of those present.

The Lebanese community in Cameroon held an official party in honor of the Honorable Awni Bey al-Khalidi, chairman of the Trusteeship Committee of the United Nations, which was attended by delegations of the community from every quarter.

Dr. Elia Khalaf, His Honor's companion at the National College in Aley and at the American University of Beirut, recited a poem abounding in verses and gracious in its meanings, in which he said:

O envoy of Iraq, welcome and well met — kinsfolk are yours, wherever

you alight, and level ground.

How fares Baghdad? — with the King her young champion,

and the Euphrates of the homeland surging and charging.

And the sky of the martyred sister, felled

in her own blood, points to the victims.

And the struggle of the army that bequeathed valor,

and the struggle of Iraq — right and nobility.

My homeland, return me to you. For my soul

has gone before me to alight in your sanctuary.

Last month the National Greek Orthodox Girls' School presented the play "The Victims" by Mr. Nicolas Bustros. The play met with outstanding success, and the Tripoli public admired it intensely; the students, moreover, performed their parts splendidly, proving in them an understanding of the art of acting and a mastery of the Arabic language, while the direction and the arrangement of the stage were the height of perfection.

This national institute goes on, at every occasion, offering proof that it stands in the vanguard of the national schools of this country.

We publish here some pictures of scenes from this play, in which some of the students appear in their parts.
