tyeliivGl ISAAC NEWTON MIXED CHOIR 1950 - 51 FESTIVAL Newton went all out for the festival this year, entering a Girls’ Glee Club, Boys’ Choir, Mixed Choir, and three classroom choirs. This has meant many hours of work for Miss Knapp and the students in the various choirs. Special interest was centered on the classroom competition with the Grade XII’s defending the Daniel MacIntyre Trophy. The Grade X’s were represent¬ ed by Rooms 5 and 15, Grade XI’s by Room 17 and 9 and the Grade XII’s by Rooms 14 and 16. Despite the girls best efforts, the trophy did not return to Congratulations to the Class of ' 51 and a cordial invitation to visit Winnipeg ' s Largest Men ' s Store 568-70 Main St. Since 1899 Newton for another year. For their selections, the Boy’s Choir sang “Linden Lea” and “The Sailor’s Letter.” Later in the evening they joined the girls to sing “O Come You From Newcastle” and “Trade Winds”. Adjudicator Gor¬ don Thorne praised the Girls’ Choir for “unity” and “lovely interweaving of parts.” All participants and Miss Knapp deserve congratulations for their fine performan ces. MELODY Her name was Melody, How it suited her oh! From her laughing blue eyes To the tips of her toes. With her yellow hair flying, In the breeze, as she ran O’er hills and fields And green meadow-lands. And as she scurried about Without thought or care, T’is no wonder a Song-Writer thought She was the answer to his prayer. — Dawne Krywonis (1) 70 Isaac Newton High School
