The Ensemble In previous years an octette of eight singers was chosen from the choir to represent it in places where it was inconvenient for the whole choir to be presented. This year, Mr. Braun added four more to the original eight to make up the Collegiate Ensemble. The ensemble was organized primarily in re¬ sponse to an invitation from the Good Roads Association of Manitoba to provide entertainment at a banquet held in November at the Fort Garry Hotel. We arrived at the elaborate hotel at the specified time and had the “privilege” of viewing the convention and hearing the Honorable Eric Willis from behind the stage curtains! When the tension which was caused by a number of well¬ intending long-winded speakers had mounted to a peak, we were called upon to perform to a very appreciative audience. The numbers we sang were: “The Keel Row,” “The Surrey With The Fringe On Top,” and “A Rovin’ ” to contrast with “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and “Scarlet Ribbons.” These same numbers were sung at the Variety Concert given by our collegiate during Education Week. The ensemble also sang a number of German and English carols at our collegiate Candlelight Service in December. Due to the lack of solo voices in our choir, some solo parts in the cantata were taken by the various parts of the ensemble. The collegiate ensemble has functioned mainly as a “crystallized’ form of the choir, it is only one of the many activities which help to make our school a more fit place of survival. —Elizabeth Falk. The Collegiate Choir Should a stranger unexpectedly enter the halls of our collegiate sometime during the course of Friday morning, he would hear mingled sounds coming from the auditorium at the south end of the hall. After making sure that the dramatic shouts were only the exhausted efforts of our enthusiastic choir director, Mr. Braun, either to get the basses to sing or else to get the attention of some singer who was already “sticking out like a sore thumb,” the stranger would recognize the “noise” as being that of the collegiate choir at work. At Christmas the choir worked hard to make the annual candlelight carol service a success. The carol service is fast becoming a tradition to Altona residents. This year the choir performed a cantata, “The Miracle of Bethlehem” as well as a number of well known German carols. In February, the choir rehearsed a number of Negro spirituals which formed a part of the Variety Concert rendered by the collegiate one evening during Education Week. A few spirituals that were especially enjoyed were “Lonesome Valley,” “Were You There?” and “Go Down, Moses.” The same evening, the collegiate en¬ semble rendered a number of musical selections which they had used previously in the year in providing entertainment at the Good Roads Con¬ vention in Winnipeg. To climax our school year as far as music is concerned, the choir entered the festival pieces: “O Head So Sorely Wounded,” and “Neighbour’s Chorus,” and tied with Winkler for the Dr. S. S. Toni trophy. And—just by way of explanation: the choir periods do not only mean a chance to get away from routine; a student may enter the auditorium looking “so low,” but he is sure to come out singing! —Elizabeth Falk. 21

%e zt It was the end of another hot day in mid-July. The city streets were crowded and smelly and most of the people looked hot and tired. They were going home to eat and rest. As I crossed the street and entered the street car, the driver was just telling some rowdy boys to settle down. I put my fare into the box as the street car slowly started to move. I found an empty seat and sat down. The girl beside me was smoking and she began to cough. She could have been in her late twenties, but she still had a girlish figure. Al¬ though the heat had done something to the make-up on her face, she still hung onto her air of elegance. The street car stopped at the corner and a young couple got on. The boy was talking in a quiet, subdued manner. The driver asked for the fare and the girl paid for both of them. They both sat down. The old man across from me wiped his perspiring face with his dirty sleeve. Everything was quiet except for the roar of the street car. Even the two rowdy boys had settled down and were looking out of the window. I looked at the young couple again. The girl, who could have been in her late teens, was holding books. She wore expensive clothes, had a pretty face and spoke English well. The boy, who looked The masculine sky holds up Its masculine composure, Taking advice from his bright leader sure. Shunning the earth, forcing on her. All that he possesses, with wrath. The leading lady takes this with wider vision. Italian, was younger than the girl. He had a leather jacket slung over his shoulder and he had rough hands. He lit a smoke and wiped his face with his hand and ran it through his curly black hair. The girl did not speak or look at him, she just sat and gazed out the window. The boy spoke first, “Gee, it’s hot.” The girl asked, “Toni, did you get the job?” She looked at him and waited. “You didn’t even go to the office, did you?” The boy spoke again, “Gee it’s hot.” The girl, as if to keep from crying, messed around among her books. The boy squirmed in his seat, and kept his head bowed. He muttered something that could have been “sorry.” The girl turned sharply to face him and said, “Look, I’m not asking for much, all I want you to do is try.” The boy wiped his brow and said, “Man, it is hot,” and threw his smoke out of the window. The girl just sat and looked at him for a long time. The boy sighed and wiped his face with his hand. He got off at the next stop, and as the street car moved along slowly, I saw him light a smoke, and walk into the nearest bar. Then it started to rain. ]ean Loeppky Grade XIa — Mark 80 Knowing well a lover’s path Of cruel active outward hate. Confident she waits till nightfall. When nature hides all man’s construction. The sky must yield to modest beauty, Take her hand and onward move through space. Marianne Penner XII 22
