THE ORCHESTRA UR many friends of former years will be glad to learn that the South Orchestra of 1945-1946 is setting a standard which has seldom been equalled and possibly never surpassed. 1Yith prestige regained by the creditable win at the Stratford Festival in May, 1945, the Orches- tra is striving to achieve even finer results this season, and an enlarged and hard working string section is giving a splendid lead. The Orchestra started off its year by playing several numbers at the usual performance on Prize Night in November. Since then it has played three times before the school in morning auditoriumsg at the lst of December, on the 31st of january and the 28th of February. On Variety Night, March 7th and Sth, the Orchestra played four numbers during the evening and filled in between other numbers to round out the programme. About March 22nd the Orchestra is again going to Stratford to play at the annual Festival and compete for the cup for the third time in order to retain it permanently. The two test pieces for Stratford, the March from Scipio by Haydn, and the Finale from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, have been played before the school on two occasions and were two of the numbers played at Variety Night. Other pieces that have been played include such well-liked selections as the Tales from Vienna Woods and Moonlight lVIadonna as well as a couple of stirring marches, and of course, the perennial favourite Old South . It is to be hoped that the Orchestra can con- tinue for some time to play in such good form as it has shown this year. -ToM ABEL. X u O 6 2 CQCOOQQ-'l' X D 'L . X . ly., . , ,B if .

' I 30 LATE FLASH The whole school rejoices with the Orchestra on their brilliant success at the Stratford Festival on March 21. Their excellent mark of 85 is an outstanding achievement and means their win- ning the trophy for the third year in succession. As a result they have brought it back to South for good. Heartiest congratulations to Mr. Byles and all the members of the Orchestra! bk 23 ek After listening to a piano solo by J. McLean-e MRS. NCLEAN: XVhat do you think of her execution? NEIGPIBCJURZ I'm in favour of it. GLEE CLUB F you should happen to pass the closed doors of the auditorium some noon hour and hear a strange mixture of sounds eminating from within, don't inform Mr. Burns that the Romans have finally arrived, because, on cautiously opening the vibrating door, Qfrequency 213 V. P. SJ, you will be greeted OD by none other than Red Allin and the 1945s-16 edition of the Glee Club. This year our ranks have swelled to sixty-five members including more than twenty boys. This is a far cry from the dayswhen R, H. and his press gang had to waylay those basso-not- so-profundos in the halls. XVith the increase in numbers has come a varied series of performances. In addition to our usual presentations in the auditorium, we have had the pleasure of singing over C.F.P.L. and at several local churches, thus increasing our fame , The trip to the Stratford Musical Festival was something of an innovation and it is hoped that this will become an annual affair. In the Variety Show we sang six numbers. One of these, VVanting You , was performed by a four-part male chorus, the first of its kind in South. During the year we have had several pleasant social gatherings. After singing at a church one evening, we visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allin, where everyone was delighted to meet their infant son. CYes! you guessed it!! He's another redheadlj VVith the coming of snow, Cat lastj, a sleighride party was held, after which we returned to school for refreshments. In the spring, those in the Glee Club who have been members for at least two years and who have been in attendance at 80'Z, of the practices, will be presented with a Glee Club pin. This event will round out one of the best years in our history. -RON SPRANG, 5A.
