There were five main instrumental groups in Churchill this year, the Senior Orchestra and Senior Strings in Senior High, and the Junior Orchestra, Junior Strings, and Junior String Ensemble in Junior High. The first musical event was the Memorial Day services, in which the Senior and Junior Orchestras participated. At the Christmas Concert, the Senior Orchestra ably pro¬ vided the musical accompaniment. All groups competed in the festival, the Senior Orchestra doing especially well, earning its record marks of 86 and 88 for the Lucile Overture and Waltz Triste respectively. All groups rounded out the year in the final concert on May 25th at Churchill. We would like to extend a special thanks to our two musical directors Miss Frances Port and Miss Beth Cruik- shank. Through their unselfishness and hard work Churchill has gained recognition in the field of music, both for its choirs and its instrumental groups. If it were not for their efforts there would be no choirs, orchestras, string classes, concerts or Christmas pageant. Once again we would like to say Thank you and tell ydu how much we, the students, appreciate your work . A second vote of thanks goes to Lori Moffat and Linda Fowler, who accompanied the choirs on the piano. We realize the time and practice this work involves and we vish to express our appreciation.
