Mary Lou Eden and Cheryl Wheeler STUDENT SYMPHONY CONCERT In the afternoon of November 20th, 1957, about 150 students from our school attended the Winnipeg Symphony Concert. It was presented under the direction of a young, guest conductor from Toronto, Mr. Victor Feldbrill. The program presented was varied from Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony to music of a higher type. It is always an enjoyable event when we spend an afternoon in the Civic Auditorium list¬ ening to these concerts. Charlene Craig - Room 10 REMEMBRANCE DAY On November 11th, a Remembrance Day Service was held at St. Luke’s Church for the Junior High students. Our principal, Mr. R.M Cross, made the opening remarks and Mr. C.A.E. Hensley read the honour roll. WINNIPEG’S NEW SYMPHONY CONCERT CONDUCTOR The Winnipeg Symphony has been for¬ tunate in securing the services of Victor Feld¬ brill as a permanent conductor. Mr. Feldbrill conducted the Junior Symphony Concerts which were made possible by the Women’s Auxiliary of the Orchestra. Born in Toronto 34 years ago, Mr. Feld¬ brill is the first native-born Canadian to direct one of Canada’s leading orchestras. He received his early education in Toronto and furthered his musical studies in the United States, England, Holland and Austria. He was a member of the Toronto Symphony for eight years and assistant conductor for three. His most famous teacher was the French conductor, Pierre Monteaux. We believe that under Mr. Feldbrill our orchestra will mean even more to our city than it has in the past. Allan Mattes — Room 13 51
