Art ART is a think-for-yourself subject. The theories of such things as colour and perspective and the tech- niques of handling certain media and materials are taught but these are merely tools like the pencils and brushes. It is when the student uses these tools to ex- press himself that Art comes into being. The main measure of success is original creative thought not technical quality alone. Carman Harrison Art and Music Music The Delta Music program is designed to provide effective training for music students whether their aims are to become professional musicians, teachers of music, orchestral players, composers and arrangers, or educated listeners of music for per- sonal enjoyment. Instruction is provided on woodwind, brass, percussion, and string bass beginning at Grade 9 and continuing to the end of Grade 12. Instruments are provided by the Board of Education for the City of Hamilton. Although our music students in Grade 9 have never played their chosen instruments before, most of them qualify for the school band by the end of their first year. The Delta Concert Band, one of the most active groups in the school, is formed from proficient music students and is open, by audition, to oth er students in the school. Its repertoire ranges widely and includes major works for concert band. The band has travelled extensively having visited Edmonton in 1967 and plans a tour of Nova Scotia this spring. The music presented by Delta over the years has been of high standard. We have been fortunate to have men of out- standing ability - Mr. Howard LeRoy, Mr. Joseph Ward - directing the program. Our present music director Mr. Murray Black and his assistant, Mrs. Marie Jacobs, are dedicated to maintaining Delta ' s fine reputation in this field. Murray Black
