Tempus Youth Choir On Sunday, April 16, the Tempus Youth Choir treated Appleby students to an evening of singing. This well-known choir is from the Oakville-Burlington area, and consists of 60 members including Appleby ' s Al Halliday and Nick Jackson. The concert was highly entertaining as the choir displayed their beautiful voices and clever arrangements. Mixing contemporary songs such as Song Sung Blue and Yesterday with Broadway hits Hello Dolly and Caberet , the choir was met with warm en- thusiasm. Particularly memorable were the selections from the musical Ekklesia Radix . We were also the recipients of an unprecedented Tempus Bar- bershoppers recital. The singers were directed by Brian Turnbull. The pianist was Mrs. Eleanor Crisell. Ian Giroday : wi ' Ji fe« K?»i ♦ • ,i ' ; . ' r JL- ' » s ♦- ' • S. flabb

A Tribute to Miss Wethey When I came to Appleby ten years ago, I found that Dr. Bell had left me a number of in- comparable legacies: there was a group of Schoolmasters, there was the magnificent Chapel which surely must be the finest in any School in the country, there was Hilda- the finest Cook in the world, and there was Drina, surely the most even-tempered, the most capable and the most gracious lady anyone could hope to share an office with. For me the key words which came to mind when I think of Drina are loyalty, humour and grace. In spite of my many mistakes over the years she has always fiercely protected me and often, in fact, by shifting the emphasis slightly, has made the mistakes look as though it were hers. I can remember, too, a particular Grub Day when she got great delight in digging her Great Grandfather ' s army xmiform out of moth balls and in urging me with fim in her eye to wear it. And finally with reference to our increasing enrolment over the last ten years, I knew that couintless people chose Appleby over other schools because of the gracious way they were dealt with when they called the office and got Drina. We shall never forget her right-mindedness, her sense of humour, or her graciousness; indeed, we shall never forget this great lady. Mr. Larsen
