1 9 4 8 V l N E DEAR FELLOW CO-'WORKERS IN TRINIDAD: September l. 1948 Your recent letter received and found me vacationing at Lake Louise. We will soon be leaving for home as school starts in two more weeks. Now, as to your questions as to the progress of the music department of Columbia Academy. the past year. I am sure Esther. the young student of whom you spoke. would enjoy her work here and also would be a help to us in the music department. Mrs. H. Henderson and I taught private lessons in piano, voice. and organ. Our en- rollment for the year was one hundred thirty-five pupils. Our mixed chorus of one hundred forty voices gave a wonderful concert on May 1, varied with numbers by the brass quartet, trumpet trio. male quartets, girls' sextets, and girls' trio. These smaller organizations, just mentioned, gained valuable experience in singing and playing for church services and efforts in nearby towns. Music week was celebrated by musical programs each day during chapel. Our church choir of forty voices added greatly to the Sabbath services. I must not forget to mention the three piano and voice recitals given. These per- 'ormances are definitely 1- part of the students' training and each one is urged to perform when asked. Hoping to see Esther at Columbia soon and that your own work in Trinidad may prosper, I remain MRS. FRANKIE M. REIS. THE CHORUS M A P L E
