The chorus sang many old and new carols and especially delighted the audience with the heart-warming old favourite, “ ’Twcs The Night Before Christmas”. The Drama Class also entertained with a com- m endable preseBtation of The major undertaking of the Glee Club this year was, of course, “The Mika¬ do”.

The Royal Blue and Gold reports a very successful year with the publication of eight issues. The editor of the first term papers was BerniceHagel while the papers of the second term were produced by Sondra Schloss. The editors must be congratulated on the regular edit¬ ions, the greater size and the added variety of their issues. The papers kept us informed on the latest social and sports activities, who’s who ’round the school, the editor’s viewpoint and even some points on how to study! Early in the year, a contest to select the attributes of the ideal male and female aroused great interest. The Grade Twelves once more had the pleasure of editing the January 11, 1950 issue of the Camrose Canadian. Many thanks go to Mr. King and his staff. Bob Robinson as editor was capably assisted by Sondra Schloss and Johnny Kopak while Bill Milner held the position of office manager. Members of the two staffs wish to thank Miss Guild, Staff representative, for her patience, advice and constant help. 44

In the early part of this term, the Camrose School Band was divided into two sections, the Senior and the Junior, with practices on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The playing style and quality of the Senior Band has improved steadily throughout the year, under the capable direction of Mr. W. Wilson, Mr. M. W. McDonnell with the assistance of Mr. F. Harris, Mr. J. Findlater, Mr. W. Leisen and Mr. C. Pearson. Our first attempt at marching and playing was made in the rsovember 11 parade. Since then we have played at the Ice Carnival, Rotary and Board of Trade meetings, the “It’s a Date” show and other functions. The Drum Majorettes, under the direction of Miss M. Jones, have also displayed their twirling talent on these occasions. The band has received invitations to play at the Hardisty Stampede, the Camrose Fair and Elk Island Park this summer. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Wilson, Mr. McDonnell and Miss Jones for their help and direction this season. The newly-formed High School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. McDonnell, and Mr. D. A. Rose, has been one of the most popular dance orchestras in town, especially with the teen-agers. They have been in attendance at several Cam-Teen dances and school parties throughout the year.
