Early in the second term, the chess team played St. Pat ' s Junior High. The H.G.S. team won a magnificent victory with a score of 8V2 to IV2. A one-half point means a stalemate. Later in the term, the team played Tower Road School. The score was 8-0 in favour of H.G.S. The captain of the team is Robert Aterman (Upper One). People in the team play almost every day at lunch hour in the lab under the supervision of Dr. Morris. 26

Some ability in part singing has been developed and some finesse achieved. The Kodaly method has been used, in part, to facilitate the growth of musical abilities, and quite a deal of different music has been tackled. Some of the notable events have included singing: i) Creation ' s Praise by Beethoven and Awake, Arise, straitway my good friend by J. C. Phillips for the Halifax Music Festival; ii) The Daniel Jazz by Hubert Chappell for Spring Tonic ; and iii) Bridge Over Troubled Waters and El Conder Pasa by Simon and Garfunkel; Five Sea Songs by Michael Hund for the Closing Ceremony. Mrs. Connie Gillis has been a wonderful source of help and inspiration as our pianist, and we thank her very much for her efforts on our behalf. 25
