REPORT FROM THE PRINCIPAL OF THE JUNIOR SCHOOL Last year in this space I wrote about an event being received with great acclamation - the event never took place. I also described our approach to the games programme - the programme was subsequently considerably revamped. Con- sequently this year, I begin by pointing out that l am writing this in February and that some of the events I describe may, in fact, never take place. The year 1981 was marked by the move of the grade eights to the Junior School and by the con- struction of three new classrooms under Ketchum Hall. I have suggested that next year the grade nines be moved to the Junior School and that a grade be added each year until grades 4 to 13 are in the Junior School. This has not been well received! The Junior School raised money for the Leukemia Research Fund again this year and earned S7 000.00 through a Walk-a-thon in November. The boys are to be commended for their fine effort. The choir as usual had a full and active year. As well as singing at each Friday evensong, the Christmas Carol Service, and the Concert in March, members of the choir journeyed to Ashbury College in Ottawa to perform, sang for the Granite Club, and performed several weddings. After 17 years, the choir has now sung from coast to coast in Canada. Instrumental music, too, has proceeded with great strength. They have per- formed for the Lieutenant- Governor, at the Open House in February, and at the concert in March. About eight per cent of our boys in the instrumental programme also receive private music lessons in their instrument throughout the week. Next year, Royal Conser- vatory exams will be added to the programme. The Junior School and members of the Senior School also did an abbreviated performance of the Mikado in November. Once again, the entire Junior School attended a Ballet per- formance in November, and the grade sevens attended several theatre productions throughout the year. The drama programme also was active, doing a production in October, another at the Open House in February, and a third in April. This year saw the under-13 soccer team playing at a tour- nament at Appleby College, and the under-I3 basketball team competing in a similar tournament at St. George's Vancouver. l 3 I Junior School boys have also been active in several clubs within the school: Camera Club, French club and Dungeons and Dragons club. As usual each year there is a competition for the chess trophy with participants from grades 4 to 8. We welcomed this year the arrival of Father Michael Burgess, our Chaplain, who not only conducted religious knowledge classes from grades 4 to 8, planned and conducted many services, and provided a ready ear for any who needed itg but also was a source of much wise counsel to the Prin- cipal. Andrew Barlow Principal The Junior School
