OAKWOOD COLLEGIATE CHORALE The year has been a good one for the Senior Choir under the direction of Mr. Davison, and the Senior Girls ' Choir under Mrs. Pepall. In the fall the Senior Choir sang at the Senior Commencement and the Senior Girls performed at the Junior Commencement. Both choirs participated in the Christmas Assembly. Both the Senior Choir and the Senior Girls represented Oakvi ' ood in the Kiwanis Festival in February. The highlight of Music Night, which was held in April this year, was a medley from The Sound of Music . The Senior Girls who placed first in the Kiwanis, enjoyed a trip to another school and a party given by Mrs. Pepall since it was her last year with the choir. Susan Love Junior Choir Standing: George Sanford, Miro Pristupa, Tim Martin. Seated: Eleanor Joudry, Mrs. Pepall, Maria Cavalcante Olena Oleshnia. THE JUNIOR CHOIR This year the Junior Choir again ably represented Oakwood in the Kiwanis Festival placing second. Under the capable direction of Mrs. Pepall, the choir not only worked well together as a group, but also held such a well organized and successful party in the fall that an- other one was held in the spring. A performance at Music Night, strengthened with the excellent accompani- ment of Miro Pristupa, demonstrated the choir ' s musical ability. The members of the executive are Maria Caval- cante, President; George Sanford, Vice-President; Tim Martin and Olena Oleshnia, Librarians; and Eleanor Joudry, Social Convenor.

WELFARE COMMITTEE Throughout 1963-64 the Welfare Committee has received greater support from the students than ever before, per- haps due to the increased enrollment at Oakwood. For this reason we set our objective at the $3000 mark and at present are well on the way towards achieving this goal. As in past years, we are again supporting our adopted boy, Adrian Kitchen of the Dr. Graham ' s Homes, Kalim- pong, India. Our annual United Appeal drive, held in October, went over the top, exceeding last year ' s collec- tion by over $100. This year, we decided to support the newly formed John F. Kennedy Memorial Fund for Retarded Children. The enthusiasm of all made the drive a complete success. Thanks must go to each member of the committee, the class treasurers, and especially the student body for making this year a resounding success.

BLUE AND GOLD COMMITTEE On September 6, 1963 Oakwood Collegiate reopened its doors to thirteen hundred sun-burnt students. Not many of these recruits anticipated how spirited the year to come would be. As Oakwoodites cheered their football heroes, they were refreshed by pop and ice-cream sold by the Blue and Gold Committee. When our Teams reached the finals a huge banner topped the stands at Varsity Stadium. The Blue and Gold Committee publiciz- ed all school events as well as selling tickets for them. A singing, clapping crowd of 700 attended a teriffic Hootenany. This year for School Spirit Week, we had our own Blue and Gold Olympics. A lasting reminder of the committee ' s work was the trophy which was awarded to the class of 1963-64 which showed the most school spirit.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Looking back over the past five years in the Instin- mental Music Department one thinks of many things. One thinks of Music Night and the nervous excitement and anticipation, the orchestra party after the final night, the trips to London and Buffalo, the Kiwanis, the assemblies and getting out of classes, Christmas Festi- val , Massey Hall, the rehearsals twice a week until five o ' clock, the eight o ' clock Sectionals, Scipio , Haydn ' s 104th, Oliver , Camelot , The Sound of Music , and the applause. Certainly this past year has been no exception in pro- viding us with many fond memories. Those in the Junior Orchestra will look back on this year and recall their excellent performance in the Christmas assembly and the first night jitters of Music Night. This year a new group, the Senior Strings, was formed. It consists of thirty string players from grades eleven and twelve. They had a busy year, performing success- fully not only in the Christmas assembly and in Music Night but also combining with our Senior Orchestra strings and the Humberside strings to steal the show at the Music Festival at Massey Hall. The Concert Band also combined very successfully with the Senior Orchestra band members and the Humberside band at Massey Hall. In addition they provided the musical selections at the Grade Twelve Commencement, played at a high school in Niagara Falls, and finished the year with a very enjoyable performance at Music Night. The Chamber Orchestra, this year under the direction of Alan Bernstein, met on Sunday afternoons, played in several assemblies, and climaxed their year with a re- warding performance at Music Night. The Senior Orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Kumagai, had one of their busiest years. In addition to playing at Senior Commencement and at various assemb- lies, the string and band members of the Senior Or- chestra played at Massey Hall. Two exchange programs were arranged with Bloor and Forest Hill Collegiates in which their orchestras played at our assemblies and we played at theirs. Before Music Night, a rehearsal was held at the beautiful Edward Johnson Building with Professor Rosevear of the Faculty of Music. Of course, the highlight of our year was Music Night. Looking back over this year, everyone will realize that none of the memories and the fun would have been possible without two very important people, Mrs. Kuma- gai and Miss Hay. Alan Bernstein 69
