'f el. FT .4'f - . 1 -0 ..,. 1-. The choir of St. George's College was formed shortly after the school's opening in September 1964. There were then 27 members, compared to 45 at the present time, The choir is affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music, England, of which Dr. Gerald Knight, a patron of the College, is Director. lt was with great pride that we welcomed Dr. Knight when he visited our school in 1965. Any boy feels it quite an honour to be accepted into the choir. Boys with untrained voices go through a probationary period and once admitted as a member he is known as a singing boy. He then has the opport- unity to work up to Chorister and then to Chorister Prefect. A Head Boy is chosen by the Choir Prefects each year. Just like all worthwhile things every member has to work as one of a team with dedication, but for every minute of hard work delivered, he is rewarded with many hours of fun, excitement and camaraderie. It is only due to the unfailing leadership of Nlr. J. Bradley and lVlr. Nl. White, that our school choir has been able to present the best music of the church according to the highest standard. Perfection is our goal. The activities of the choir to date have included a three week tour of Western Canada in 1965, a visit during the Easter vacation of 1966 to Washington, D.C. and in that year, as well, a second trip West. A third tour to the West coast, this past year 1968, was enjoyed by many members. Major tours in the future will include the United Kingdom, the Canadian and American East coasts and the American West coast. The success of our choir could not have been realized without the great support it has received from so many people and a sincere thank-you goes to each and everyone from all members of the choir. We feel a special roll has been filled in a very special way by lVlrs. J. B. Whaley and Mrs. A. C. Lauglmrne, our choir mothers during all these years. 21
