The Carnival of Animals by Saint-Saens. Soloists: Lola Lane Cuddy — Bill Cuddy. Largo from Xerxes. Dance of the Comedians by Smetana. The Comedians by Kabalevsky.

We sang Dance to Your Daddy, but to our dismay it was not a folk song. There were thirteen other choirs. They all sang Folk Songs. We got 80 and the winners got 83. We wish to thank Miss Creighton for her directing and Nancy Slokerr who accompanied the choir. IRENE CHABLO ROOM 24 GRADE 6 WILLIAM H. ANDERSON Earl Grey School wishes to express its deepest sym¬ pathy to Mrs. Anderson in the death of her beloved husband, William H. Anderson, who passed away on April 12. Mr. Anderson was always ready to help anyone seeking his advice. Only this year, despite grave illness, he wrote a letter giving advice and help to one of our classes which sang one of his many com¬ positions in the festival. Needless to say, Mr. Anderson is also the composer of our school song. Winnipeg and Earl Grey have truly lost a great musician and composer. 51

THE GIRLS’SPORT COUNCIL This year in Earl Grey the Junior High girls have incorporated a new idea. This idea was one of a Girls’ Sports Council. The council consists of the President and Sports Captain (girls only) of each room in the Junior High. When the council was assembled the officers were elected. They were: President - Lottie Schubert, Vice President - Audrey Saunders and Secretary - Brenda Stevenson. The council meets on Mondays at 4:00 and discusses any problems that the girls in the school have. With Miss McVeigh’s advice they try to find a solution for each problem. The Sports Council has sponsored Posture Week and square dancing lessons for the Junior High boys and girls, this term. We have found that a Girls’ Sports Council is very successful.
