MUSIC IN THE SCHOOL 1952-53 CAlan Reesorl Ever since the world began, music has been associated with human life in religion, amusement, and recreation. Music is a universal language as it is rendered by every race in every country of the universe. These are two of the reasons why music is taught in schools. Although the music classes at P.P.H.S. are limited, a great deal has been accomplished in the way of music this year. At the annual Commencement in November, many choral numbers were well rendered by the various grades in the school. Among these musical numbers were HNow Thank We All Our Godn, a familiar Bach Chorale, HThe Heavens Are Declaringu by Beethoven, nLet Us Break Bread Togethern and HGoodbye My Lover Goodbyew. The evening was brought to a climax with Leslie Bell's HGlorius is the Landn, performed by the senior choir. The music of the evening was under the direction of Mr. G. B. Brooks. n' During the school year, in Monday and Wednesday assemblies popular songs past and present were under the direction of Mr. . Brooks. l W After Christmas holidays, work on the operetta began, and with the addition of another piano in room ten, the noon-hour activity periods were used for operetta practice. Then on April 30 and May l, the operetta The Condoliers by Gilbert and Sullivan was presented. This performance was indeed a credit to the school as it is one of the hardest of all operettas written by Gilbert and Sullivan. The production proved a great success musically if not financially, For a school of this size the operetta was rendered well, Although, a great deal of credit should be given to the students for this performance, more credit is deserved by Mr. Brooks, who taught and conducted the music, and by Miss Neale and Mr. Heaver who assisted in the production. A , ' c Another last event of the year involving music ii the annual Open House, when the different grades sing musical numbers by various composers. Among the numbers to be sung on Open Night are HAll Hail the Queenw by the great Canadian complser, Healey Willan, HO Lord We Worship Theen, by J. S. Bach, and the very popular nYou'll Never Walk Alonen. ' The bugle and drum band, in charge of Lieutenant Beesor this year, has been practising hard all winter, preparing for Cadet Inspection on May 28. This music plays an important part in the education of P.P.H.S. students,
