8 THE KENCOLL 1944 . .. —....- . r ‘mTtftrrTmiiimimiiitirtitmTtmtinittiiiii MUSIC FOR MODERNS Mr. R. C. Davit High School students of to-day are showing an intelligent appreciation of all types of music. This is partly due to their more extensive musical education, and to their more active participation in choirs, orchestras and musical groups. How¬ ever, music can exist only when three persons work together for it in sympathy. First, there is the composer, who must make his piece as beau¬ tiful as he can, no matter how many years of study and hard work that may require. Then there is the performer, who must unselfishly try to give the composer’s meaning, resisting the temptation to show himself off or to “interpret ' something that isn ' t there. And thirdly, and just as important as either of the others, there is the listener, who, instead of sitting there lazily and enjoying what is easiest to understand, must be willing to do his share by really attending, and thinking, and trying to appreciate the best. It is true that our “popular” tunes have a definite appeal, for they are a combination of melody and rhythm that can be absorbed readily by any listener. To enjoy such music is entirely natural and an excellent foundation for a fine taste in music. Hut it is only a foundation, and if we would build on it a love of the best, we must keep open minds and attentive ears. It is to he hoped that our course in music will be de¬ veloped to a further extent so that more time may be spent in our schools acquiring a personal knowledge of the world’s finest musical master¬ pieces. In this way we can hope to become more active listeners, and will discover for ourselves the matchless beauty of inspired musical liter¬ ature. THE GLEE CLUB The Kennedy Glee Club commenced the school year with many new and eager members and, also, a new and very capable director, Mr. R. Davis. It has the remarkable membership of sixty voices, with Winnifrcd Newman as president, Elizabeth Piatti as vice-president and June Spence as secretary. The girls added musical enjoyment to the evening Com mencement Exercises when they presented a group of three selections, “O Holy Night”, “Christ Is Born Today”—an original composition by Mr. Davis—and “White Christmas”, arranged in three part harmony. At the Easter Literary Society Assembly the Glee Club again entertained the school wifh “Gypsy Love Song”, “Ma Curly-Headed Babby”, and a beautiful ar¬ rangement of Sir Arthur Sullivan’s, “The Lost Chord”. As a diversion from musical study the girls enjoyed a theatre party and are looking forward to a joint party with the other organizations of the school. The great success of the Glue Club is due to both the untiring work of the girls and the splendid leadership of Mr. Davis. PREFECT CLUB The Prefect Club was continued this year under the supervision of Mr. Fox, and with the co-operation of the students has been able to maintain order during the school term. The members of the Prefect Club deserve a great deal of credit for giving up their own time to supervise the various parts of the school during the noon hour; and Mr. Fox should he complimented on his ex¬ cellent organization anti help throughout the year. Head Prefects: Boh Dcwhirst, Doris Newell. PUBLIC SPEAKERS Ken Smookler, Connie Croll, Lenore Moodrey, Hugh Roberts. ORATORICAL CONTEST Judging from the results of this year ' s Oratorical Con¬ test, Kennedy has produced four fine speakers. Connie Croll won the Junior Girls’ Championship for the second time, with her speech on TRANSPORTATION. Ken Smookler brought the Junior Boys’ Shield back to Ken¬ nedy with his interesting talk on ROCKETS. The Senior Girls representative, Lenore Moodrey, earned third place when she gave a revealing talk on RUSSIA. The Senior Boys’ orator, Hugh Roberts, presented an absorbing speech on RECENT CHEMICAL ADVANCES. Let us hope that in the future, Kennedy will present many more splendid orators besides those who sit in the hack rows of the classrooms. ORCHESTRA Our Orchestra has been very active again this season and besides providing music at numerous assemblies, entertained at the final basketball game. Those who took part have been very enthusiastic about their work and hope that many more students will take advantage of this musical opportunity. As a special feature of the Easter Literary Programme, the orchestra performed Tschaikowsky ' s Piano Concerto. The rendition of this selection established a musical standard never before attained in the school. Under the direction of our new conductor, Mr. Davis, the orchestra hopes to provide even finer entertainment next year. The musicians who comprised this year ' s orchestra are: Conductor—Mr. R. Davis. Piano—Mary MacDonald. Violins—Jim Brown, John Szaz, Bill Lucas, Alex Cserespes, Evelyn Humphries, Jean McAuslan. Clarinets—Bill Knowles, Stan Wlusek, Lyle Warwick. Flute—John Thcil. Drums—Norman Wheeler, Dick Jones. Trombone—Pete Wygant. Trumpets—Bob Foote, Jim Smith. Accordions—Douglas Bromble, Douglas Moorhouse. LITERARY SOCIETY 1 his year s Literary Society has, at the time of writing, presented two meetings for the benefit of the school. At the annual Christmas Party, the usual presents were given out by Santa Claus. Spice was added to the pro¬ gram with the recitation given by the adorable “twins”, Lyle Warwick and Jim Howie, chic in lavender night gowns. At the Easter meeting, a short skit called Serving the Silent Services” was presented with the actors gaining as much enjoyment as the students. The members of the society included: Harriettc David¬ son, Betty Deagle. Boh Krol, Tohn Szasz, John O ' Neil, with Mary MacDonald as Chairman. The advisory committee this year was, Miss Vrooman, Mrs. Hagarty, and Mr. Riggs.
