THE VARIETY CONCERT The Variety Concert was a huge success. The stage was effectively dis¬ guised as a deck complete with ship lying ahoy. The sailor lads sang their sea shanties with gusto, and looked colourfully magnificant in their amusing costumes. The, an group of beauteous girls appeared in enchanting pastel gowns with large matching bonnets. Sweetly and merrily they sang their Spring Songs, not omitting their favour¬ ite, Mariannina”. Sincere thanks to Miss Crookshanks, who as always, spared no effort in preparing us for it. Many compliments were received on this performance, and nothing - but nothing would please us more than to be asked to do it again! Avon Holland -- Room 13.

THE GRADE EIGHT CHOIR In Musical Festivals, the ob¬ ject is not to gain a prize, nor defeat a rival, but to pace one another on the road to excellence.” - Sir Walford Davies The Grade Eight Classroom Choir was composed of Rooms 20 and 22. Our test piece was an Irish song by Charles Wood, The Fairy Queen of the May.” For our own selection we chose Oram-a-chree.” We sang on the 18th of April in the Civic Auditorium. The ad¬ judicator for our session was Havlock Nelson. Although we did not gain first place, we achieved the satisfaction of participating in the Manitoba Musical Festival. Anita Rudko — Room 22.
