Thanks go out to Mr. Penner and all the students who participated in our chess club. The Edmund Partridge chess club will surely be a greater asset to the school in the future. I h Carol Concert The Christmas spirit came to Edmund Partridge on Wednesday, December 11th when the students presented their annual Christmas Concert. The auditorium was artistically decorated in a festive motif under the qualified supervision of Miss Busch. The aud¬ ience was delightfully entertained by Christmas Carols sung by the Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Kristjanson. The Boys ' Choir directed by the musically minded Mr. Amould sang two lovely selections with an added attraction being Mr. Webster — Zim-boom-bah. Under the qualified hand of Miss Murray the Rooms 2 and 5 choir furnished two more thoroughly enjoyed selections. The band conducted by Mr. White was at its best for the occasion. Vivian Silver, Joel Lazer, Laura Holden and Donald Billinkoff gave recitations and speeches. 530 ) The School Tea The annual Edmund Partridge School Tea held on March 4th was again a great success. The auditorium was decorated in a bright spring air by an art conmittee under the supervision of Miss Busch. The leading ticket salesman this year was Betty Eisenstadt of Room 12. Dale Mills, Room 5, placed second and Douglas Stewart, Room 7 third. The room selling the most tickets was Room 16. Not only the winners but all the students who sold tickets must be highly commended for their efforts. We also express our great appreciation to all the teachers and parents who helped make the tea one of the best ever held.
