.la I BASKETBALL 1948 - 49 A TMS Year has been a good year for basket- ball, under our coach, Miss Gursz, the teams have made a go-od showing. Because the season was extremely late we played each school only once. The seniors won two out of three games. On February 25th Kenora came up and played us. Their senior and junior teams played our intermediate and seniors. Riverbend won both games. The girls on all the teams have shown a real interest and have come to practice faithfully throughout the season each girl had a wonder- ful idea of good sportsmanship and stuck to it very well.

'A' 'A' THE HALLOWE'EN PARTY On Friday afternoon, Oct. 30th, all the girls from grade -one to six came in costume to a Hallowe'en party in the school gym. First there was a grand parade and all the girls, and the boy, marched down the hall into all the class- rooms so that everyone might see these wonder- ful pirates, fairies, witches, gypsies, goblins and a host of others, Carold Hayman Cgypsyb and Roberta Robertson Qblind many won prizes Ior their costumes. Then several games were played. Finally ice cream, cakes, cookies and candies were served. Balloons, had been hoisted to the rafters and, with a pull of the string, 'these cascaded down-unfortunately one bunch of balloons stuck and caused some excitement. The party-goers left shortly after four o'c1ock. LILAC TEA The lilac tea of 1949 was held on May 218, 1948. Tea was served in the dining-room. Each house had a corner of the room. There was one long table at the end -of the room at which a former member of each house poured tea. Flowers were beautifully arranged on the table and it looked truly beautiful. Th-e proceeds .of a sale of work done by the girls went towards the United Church Fresh Air Camp. A picture made of shells was railed. Outside there was the fish-pond run by Grade Nine, and an ice cream stand. The younger ones got a thrill from these. The weather was very bright and warm all day. The girls, stafif, and weather all contribut-ed to make the lilac tea a great success. DAPHNE WHITE. Page Thirty ' A J 1 s I 5 4.5 . ...T

THE WINNIPEG SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The final establishment of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra has made the season of 1948-49 a highly momentous one for Winnipeg's music lovers. In July 1948, after nearly two years of con- tinual effort by the Provincial Committee, many of the preliminary difficulties were overcome and a Board of Directors was appointed to organize the orchestra and obtain a suitable conductor. Out of thirty applicants for the position of conductor, Mr. Walter Kaufmann was chosen. He has quickly proven his immense worth, not only to the orchestra, but to Winnipeg's musical life in general. Mr. Kaufmann is a British citizen of Czecho- slovakian origin. He graduated from Prague University, and also attended the Berlin State College of Music. He has held important posi- tions in Czechoslovakia, India, England and fprior to coming to Winnipegh, Halifax, N.S. The orchestra consists of about seventy players, with the following instruments being used: violins, violas, violincelos, basses, flutes. PhOt0 by Harold White Studio oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets. trombones tympani and percussion, a harp and a tuba. Under Mr. Kaufmann's capable leader- ship, they have given five concerts of a high standard during their first season. They also collaborated with the Winnipeg Ballet in their annual winter performances. Winnipeg's citizens are understandably proud of their new symphony orchestra. Winnipegls students realize that they are in- deed fortunate. For now, they have an oppor- tunity of attending regular performances of an orchestra, and thus becoming familiar with the appearance and tone of the various instruments. as well as hearing many of the best orchestral compositions. EILEEN ARNOLD 'k TALLY-HO During the winter months the girls from Grade VII to Grade XII held one tally-ho. They met at the school a little before -eight to discover that only one tally-ho had arrived. Although most of the girls had to walk, this did not dampen their spirits. They went back to school for refreshments and a game of basketball. Page Thirty-two
