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.

ii POETRY THE WOLF HUNT tFi1'St Prizej A half-moon slants down through the trees As we on horseback gallop past To down that wolf who's killed our sheep. Uett bring him to his doom at last! ll'e'refoltowed him since afternoon. When we .first saw him on the hill, A nd loosed the hounds. They spread around To catch the scent and make the kill. ,elnd now my legs are stiff and sore,' Tt1e poor horse too is tuckered out. The chase we're almost given up. Hhen up ahead there comes a shout. The dogs have found the wolf at last. There on a ridge high up he runs,' The dogs, tongues out, are close behind, And we below unstrap our guns. They corner him on a ledge of rock Where. snarling. slashing, he .fights them, og, 'Tilljinally the dogs' retreat To hear the deadly carhine cough. That shot was quickg the end was quick. Ute count our wounded: one-just two. 'Twas but a paltry price in dogs, For our dead sheep were not a few. -TOM ABEL, 12A. WINTER CSG-Cond Prizej ltailt blujf King Winter, hold andfreet Hail! Monarch of .lest and .loltityl No weakling thou! No languidfriendt Strength to llS thy bujfets lend. Strong binder at the brook and lake, Great painter of hoarifrosted brake, Transforming all the sullen earth, To sparkling scenes of winter's birth. Let poets sing of 'verdant spring, Or praise of summer's glories ring: Winter, the jierce, the bold, the free, The prize, blufffriend, I give to thee. -MARY ROLLO, 12B. 32 THE STORM A distant roll of thunder shook the sky, The black and heavy clouds obscured the light, The cliffs along the shore echoed the cry Of a lone gall wheeling in seaward flight. A jagged streak of lightning pierced the gloom, A nd showed the labourers fleeing from the field, The air held now the stillness of a tomb Uith all the feel of murky hell revealed. The first wild drops of rain fell on the earth, Then steady torrents flattened leares and grass, Rirulets to great cataracts gare birth, White all were waitingfor the storm to pass. Then suddenly the world was calm. and stilled, A nd all the hearts of men with peace were filled. -LANDON MACKENUE. 12B. MODERN ART Twenty-three blades of grass, All in a row. Twenty-three more of them Following slow, With a wisp Qfpink smoke A nd a lock of blue hair, lt's named so correctly, A Day at the Fair . -MAY SMITH, 5B. THE SEAMSTRESS April is stitching with needles of rain, Her silrer thread flashes again and again. She's making a garment that cannot be seen But soon it will cover the whole earth with green. Soon in the grass her embroidery will show, Where daisies shine brightly like jtakes of white snow, A nd where the shy violet lifts her wee face, To add to the Springtime herfragrance and grace. Yes, April is stitching with jine liquid thread, She's stitching the pattern of each jtower bed, She's stitching the bark and the leaves of the trees And every green blade that will sway in the breeze April's a seamstress unmatched in her skill. She's always brought Springtime and she always wilt. She's a kind little lady who uses her art. To make earth. a garment that gladdens the heart. -J OSEPHINE BARRETT, 12B
