The Senior, Intermediate and Junior Choirs, under the expert direction of Mrs. Coutts, interpreted such songs as ' ' Kitty My Love , The Jolly Miller and The Violet . Their programme continued with the group of twelve singing three madrigals. The entertainment also included a piano solo by Lowell Pelton, Danish gymnastics, Jackie Burroughs ' prize-winning United Nations ' speech, and a Fashion Show presented by the Arts forms. Miss Portia White added a professional touch to the evening by singing compositions by Schubert and two negro spirituals. Her accom- panist was Miss Lee who also accompanied the choirs. A highhght of the evening was the thrilling sound of bagpipes and the brilliant Scottish dancing by Sandra Blaine and Janet MacArthur.
