DRAMA Twelve boys from the Middle School became enthusiastically involved in the Drama Activity Group at the beginning of the year. Al-ter some weeks of initial preparation in liorin ol- theatre, games and exercises to improve skills and deve- lop raport, they began rehearsals for MUSHROOM, a one-act play written by Mr. Skinner especially for this age group. Their efforts culminated in a fine performance at the Greater Victoria Schools Drama Festival and the Adjudicator, Colin Gorrie, named the play one of the best entries in the junior Division. To justin Stephenson Q 9 J, who played the lead, went a Best Actor award. Other members ol. the cast. who all worked well asa team, were: Peter Chan, Alan Chiu, Eric Cunningham. Irwin Cunningham. Kurt Fellner. Richard lrving. Michael King. Tony Matheson. Patrick Wilson and David Wingrove. MUSIC The past year at SMU has seen music holding its own in a small but formative way within the life of the student bo- dy. Our aim as always has been to be both constructive and creative along paths new to most boys. the while deriving a good measure of enjoyment and satisfaction from the pursuit of a valid art-form. Naturally, the month of December sees a maximum of activity. and this year was no exception - the school providing a full program of entertainment for the Women's Canadian Club at their Christmas meeting in the Crystal Ballroom of the Empress Hotel. Music both secular and sacred, instrumental and vocal. humourous and serious was provided by a very enthusiastic group. This program was previewed for the residents of International House and Mr. Blake the night before in Brown Hall to considerable acclaim. The first term concluded with our customary Carol Service in Chapel with boys reading lessons as well as providing the music. In February of the second term the choir sang at a Confirmation Service conducted by Bishop Pearce when five of our boys were confirmed - two from the choir. The anthem for this service was Thomas Morley's Through the Day Thy Love Has Spared Us . Also in February, the choir took part in a Festival Service at the Cathedral to commemor- ate the Queen's Accession when Mr. Hurrle conducted the large choir recruited from around the city for the occasion. Music included the Vaughan Williams setting of the Old Hundredth. Two important annual events occurred in May: the Victoria Music Festival, and Boy's Sunday in Chapel Q Whitsun- day J. David Hamilton entered the Organ Playing Class. aquitting himselfwith distinction. and the choir entered the Small Ensemble Class as the largest entrant and gave a hearty and amusing account of the test piece Q Dr. Foster. They also sang the Welsh Air All Through the Night arranged for four-part male voices. The adjudicator, Mrs. Thompson from Winnipeg, told us that our school hadjust stolen their Headmaster in the person of Mr. john Schafl-ter! David Hamilton again was organist for the Boys' Sunday Service which was ably taken by our Head Boy David Cousins Q arrayed in cope! J and prayers were taken by another choir member. Marcus Endean. We look forward to our activities ofthe ensuing year, hoping always for more of the enjoyment and satisfaction which participation in the art of music calls forth.
