ARTS FESTIVAL A New Undertaking New ideas never cease to appear at T.C.S., and this year was no exception. On Foun- der ' s Day Weekend, the students added a new display for the benefit of the school and parents. The Arts Festival provided an ideal time for the students to present their various talents. Displays included artwork, photography, essays, history and classics projects, and stamp collections. There was even a pianoman in one corner, which highlighted the detail that went into this production. One of the most popular displays was a mural presented by the grade ten art class. The subject was Leonardo ' s Anunciation. Each class member was given a small section of the painting to work on, and no one knew what he was creating until it was all sewn together. Taking this into consideration, the result was most spectacular. The sixth form also had a little display of its own. Several sixth formers were given the task of painting portraits of the masters. This was an ideal chance for them to display all the skills they had accumulated over the years. Styles ranged from Fraser ' s realism to Fallon ' s fauvism. This was a very successful project indeed. The mobile birds were also a new and original undertaking. The fourth form was in charge of this, and the flock that hovered above our heads in the gym was not often overlooked. Species varied from a flaming phoenix to a sleek dragon to a mammoth Canada goose. And the list goes on: an all metal sculpture of a band, Grant Wilson ' s colour and black and white prints, the Roman weapons that looked like they could work, the top quality english essays, and the history slide-shows. Congratulations go to Mr. Gregg, Mrs. Papp, Mr. McCord, Mr. Burns, and, of course, to Peter Ridout and Karl Narinesingh, who engineered the spectacle. We all hope this festival continues to establish itself in the future and perhaps turn into a school tradition.

MUSIC I.S.A. A. Music Festival 1983 was a good year for the music program, but unfortunately the school only heard the band play once. The real highlight and focal point of the year was the newly created I.S.A. A. music festival. One of the biggest highlights in any music program is participation in a music festival whether com- petitive or noncompetitive. The purpose of the In- dependent Schools Music Festival was to draw boys and girls together in an evening of choral and in- strumental music for sheer enjoyment. Such was the case on the evening of April 7th in Massey Hall, Toronto. There were six hundred and fifty three participants from eleven Independent Schools present with T.C.S. providing 18 band members, the largest representation of all the schools. Under the supervision of St. George ' s College, the program consisted of Junior, In- termediate, Senior choirs as well as virtuosi choirs in Above: Flutist McPhail at the Founder ' s Day Weekend per- formance. Left, Top to Bottom: The band at the Remembrance Day service; Lawson at his clarinet. the Intermediate and Senior levels; a string orchestra as well as a sixty piece concert band. A special fanfare was composed for the occasion which opened the program played by the brass of Crescent School, St. George ' s College, and T.C.S. as well as a grand finale consisting of a massed choir and concert band which Mr. Prower had the pleasure of conducting (with audience participation). Skeptics amongst some of the schools said it could not be done, but they were proved wrong. The packed audience in Massey Hall gave a standing ovation at the end of the evening (richly deserved), to participants, accompanists, conductors, and organizers. Arrangements have already been made for next year - April 12th, 1984 in Massey Hall - and it is hoped that all Independent Schools in Ontario will participate. 22
