26 SAMARA You-oo - ou YOO -oo Oco oo -oo o MUSIC NOTES This year the music has progressed very favourably, but still we have not been able to start the long wished-for school orchestra, although we have in our midst one violin pupil, and with Miss Tipple ' s ' cello we were hoping to make a small start in the shape of a trio. We hope that next year it may be possible to do so. As the numbers of music pupils have increased considerably, it has been necessary to add Miss Frances Claudet to the music- teaching staff, and she has been very successful in instilling a love of this art among the very junior pupils of the school. Last year Mr. Puddicombe ' s gold medal was won by Diana Clark as being the best interpretative player of that year. The silver medal for the girl who had made the most improve- ment during the year was won by Nini Keefer. This year nine girls have been entered for the Associate Board music exams and we wish them every success. We were very fortunate in again having season tickets for Mr. Tremblay ' s series of concerts: October 16th. — Heifetz, the world-renowned violinist; we all came away wishing we could play the violin.

SAMARA 27 November 18th. — Clara Dux, a very charming soprano, who kept her audience spell-bound. December 5th.— Iturbi, the pianist who made us all feel that we should never be able to play the paino. We enjoyed him more than Rachmaninoff. December 17th. — We enjoyed a delightful lecture-recital at school by Miss Maud Bell, who played the ' cello. On January 22nd Irene Miller, an old pupil of Mr. Puddicombe, gave a very charming recital. On February 5th Chamlee, a great tenor, and Gruppe, a ' cellist gave a joint recital; the former, in our opinion, almost reached the standard of Edward Johnson. On February 10th we attended a two-piano recital at the Little Theatre. We were very much interested in this rather unusual type of performance. We missed the fifth concert of the series, given by the Barrere Symphony, on account of our mid-term week-end; but we under- stand from all who heard it that we lost a very great treat. Mrs. McCurry ' s recital at the Little Theatre on March 5th was absolutely delightful. We came away very proud of the fact that she teaches us singing, and thinking how lucky we are that a distinguished singer like herself should take such an interest in us. We were all disappointed that Horowitz, the well-known pianist, had to cancel his performance, owing to immigration difficulties; but we hear that he will fulfil this engagement next autumn. During the year we were fortunate in having a visit from Miss Margaret Deneke, choirmaster of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, who gave us a delightful lecture-recital on programme music. We have also attended two concerts given by the Ottawa Little Symphony Orchestra, an assembly of local talent whose rapid rise to popularity since its organisacion a few years ago, is remark- able. In conclusion we should like to thank Miss Tipple for all she does towards arranging these musical treats, giving so generously her time and energy to our music.
