DANCING CLASS In preparation for the Graduation Party, Miss T. Hodgson and Miss C. Dunn¬ ing, with the help of the Grade IX girls, attempted to teach the Grade IX boys to jive. Their efforts were most successful and we wish to thank Miss Hodgson and Miss Dunning for their patience. We also express our gratitude to the girls, many of whom still have rather sore feet. THE JUNIOR RED CROSS During the year donations of art, made by the students of Earl Grey Junior High School to Room 27, have been given to the Junior Red Cross. At Christmas, at Easter and on Valentine’s Day we collected tray favours, stuffed toys, place cards, etc., that the Red Cross was very pleased to re¬ ceive. Samples of this art were on display at the Royal Alexandra Hotel, during the Teachers’ Convention at Easter. On behalf of Room 27 I would like to thank the students of Earl Grey School for their support. Mary Lythgoe — Room 27. EARL GREY CONCERT On March 28th and 29th, Earl Grey School held a concert in the auditorium which was considered most successful. First on the program were Mr. Lab- ovitch Grade 7 and 8 boys who gave an excellent display of tumbling and calis¬ thenic s. A group of Grade 7 and 8 girls, un¬ der the supervision of Miss C. Dunning pre¬ sented tumbling, featuring pyramid building. Folk dancing by Grade 7 and 8 girls was much enjoyed. The ' hit’ of the first part of the show was Med o-ball work by Grade 9 girls. In exact time appropriate music, what looked like miniature basketballs were passed from one hand to the other in perfect rhythm. The main attraction was the operetta H.M.S. Pinafore” written by the two famous composers of the late nineteenth century, Gilbert and Sullivan. The cast for the operet¬ ta was divided into three groups, A,B, and Cj two of these groups performing at one time. There were four performances; A and C per¬ forming on Wednesday morning for the ele¬ mentary grades. B and C on Wednesday after¬ noon for the Junior High grades, A and B on Thursday night and B and C on Friday night, for the benefit of the public. May the cast take this opportunity to thank Miss Crookshanks for her help and con¬ tinued inspiration; Mr. Guy as well as Miss Hodgson, who was in charge of sets and makeup. 22
