SENIOR GIRIS' CHOIR This year, a new choir has been organized. It is called the Senior Girls' Choir. The group is not very large in size, but as Mr. Nix says, They are potent! The girls have sung at many programmes, including Commencement and Variety Night. The choir is very ambitious, and has improved greatly since the beginning of the year. The girls are intensely interested in their work, and achieve very creditable results . SENIOR MIXED CHOIR The Senior Mixed Choir, under the leadership of Mr. Nix, enioyed a varied and interesting programme during the year. The officers of the choir were Murray Allison, Presi- dent, Eric Brown, Vice President, and Ann Horton, pianist. Early in the FaIl,the choir sang for the Ontario Music Educators' Association . Later on, combined with the other school choirs and the orchestra, it helped to make Variety Night a success . JUNIOR GIRIS' CHOIR Officers: President, Diane Prather, Secretary, Susan Pope, Librarians, Wendy Miller and Lorraine Wole. Etobicoke's Junior Girls' Choir under the direction of Mr. Strathdee, is an enthusiastic group interested in good singing. Their debut at the January meeting of the Home and School was a smashing success . From there, they went on to compete in the Kiwanis Festival, and to add to everyone's enioyment of Variety Night. 24

ftp I1, E! ' Ki THE BAND This year we made our first appearance at Commence- ment. In January, we were asked to play at the Town- ship Inauguration Ceremonies, held in Royal York Secondary School. It marked a milestone in the band's progress-the first time we had performed outside E.C. I. At the Kiwanis Festival in February, we played the American Folk Rhapsody, and in Variety Night, the band added to its reputation by giving an outstanding performance. The credit, however, is due to our con- ductor, Mr. Nix, under whose direction the band has made such great progress . 1 C, f fl . ir' ' J ' Q ,lm ,. THE ORCHESTRA E.C . l. 's minature orchestra is one of the newest organizations in the collegiate. lt was brought into existence through the combined efforts of Mr. Nix and its conductor, Mr. Strathdee. At the present time, it is composed of violins, violas, 'cellos, a bass, a trombone, and a tuba, twenty-five instruments in all. It is certainly not a very large group, but remember, it is much less than a year old . In spite of the orchestra's small size, arrangements were made for its participation in this year's Variety Night. if .V 4 'ff Jar' j itil- zfyfi. HY 13. - 25
