REMEMBRANCE DAY. THE SYMPHONY CONCERT The Women’s Committee of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra presented a Concert on November 21st for the High School Students of Greater Winnipeg. Our school was represented by 150 students who enjoyed the change from school routine as well as the de¬ lightful concert. Mr. Kaufman is very much at home with young people and says that these are the concerts he most enjoys conducting. Although we did not know, it was Mr. Kaufman’s last concert of this kind. Shortly after he left to take a posi¬ tion as Professor of Music in Indiana University. The program was interesting and varied. ' A Night on Bold Mountain’ and ' The Trumpeter’s Holiday’ were the most popular selections. We hope to have a chance to at¬ tend a similar concert next year. A special service was held on November 9th at St. Lukes United Church for the Junior High Classes. The pass¬ age, the ' Good Samaritan’ was read by Sigrun Olafson and Margaret Meneer. The choir sang the Dutch Hymn of Thanksgiving and Mr. Guy sang a solo. The School Honour Roll was read by Mr. Dack which was followed by the two minute silence. We wish to express our deepest thanks to Rev. J.C. Clough and to the people of St. Lukes. Diane Atkin - Room 13. ft— ARBOR DAY The Arbor Day services were held May 6th at 10 o’clock in Dudley Park.

Pina¬ fore - Don Seel, who did a fine job with his singing and acting., Josephine, his daughter - Jackie Jonsson and Jamie Nairne. They carried out the part well with their pleasing voices. Ralph Rock- straw - a sailor in love with Josephine. Wayne DeBolt and Dennis Longley - played this character with enthusiasm. Sir Joseph Porter, Admiral of the Navy - Gary Okopski who played the sophistic¬ ated Admiral well. Buttercup - a peddler Margaret Marr and Eleanor Steiler. They contributed much to the Operetta. Dick Deadeye - an unpopular sailor - was played by David Farrell. He put a lot into his acting. Hebe - Sir Joseph’s finest cousin - Margaret Marr and Eleanor Stieler. Boatswain - Stewart Bowman. He had a small part, but played it well. There were three choruses and they sang with much enthusiasm. In the Operetta there were eight sailors danc¬ ing the hornpipe. There were some difficulties at the practices, but under the wonderful direction of Miss M. Owens and Mr. R.D. Guy, they were soon overcome. One of our school’s biggest pro¬ jects this year was ' The Variety Pro¬ gramme’. There was a display of boys’ and girls’ Physical Education work, in¬ cluding tumbling. The main feature consisted of extracts from the Nautical Operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore, by Gilbert and Sullivan. The program was given on March 28th and 29th. We wish to thank Miss Crook- shanks for her fine directing of the music. We could not have gotten along without her. The Operetta was accompanied by Miss Helen Martens and Maureen Sloker on two pianos. Maureen Sloker -- Room 18. 58
