FROM THE HEADlVlASTER'S STUDY My fellow Georgians, As I review the events of the year just completed, I cannot help but conclude that it has been one of the most active and rewarding in our nineteen-year history. Early in the fall term the Choir launched the sale of its new recording of the Festival of Lessons and Carols, and within the brief span of a few weeks had sold two thousand copies. Shortly thereafter came an invitation from the CBC to televise our annual carol service at St. James' Cathedral. It was broad- cast coast to coast on Christmas Eve, and again on Christmas Day - an event, I am sure, which was immensely gratifying to us all. During Advent the Choir sang at a number of special events in the city, in February at the funeral of the former Primate, the Most Reverend Howard Clark, while in the Spring Term the boys of the choir polished up their repertoire for their June trip to Venice, Florence, Rome, and Paris. I am deeply grateful for the honour our chapel choir has brought to the school over these many years. This year St. George's College inaugurated and sponsored an Independent Schools' Music Festival. The brain-child of Dr. Barlow, our Junior School Prin- cipal, it was organized and directed by Mr. Derek Demierre, of our Instrumental Music Department. On April 7th some 570 boys and girls from fifteen schools across the province gathered at Massey Hall, and before a full house, performed a concert of choral and instrumental tnusic which delighted everyone who heard it. Such enthusiasm was expressed by the participants that it has been decided that this event is to become an annual one - a pleasant change, I think, from the usual rivalries of thc playing fields, the hockey rinks, and the basketball courts. The latter are, of course, good and welcome parts of the life of any school, for they sharpen wits and add another dimension to self- realization. In our team sports this year we have accomplished a good deal: What was probably the best basketball team the School so far has produced came within ten points of winning the ISAA championship and our Senior track team put in champion performances at the Quaker Relays this spring. Our under-fourteen soccer team won all ten games they played, and our under-thirteen hockey team won the independent schools Cross-Canada championship, while our under- sixteen soccer lost only two games in a twelve-game schedule, and the under-thirteen basketball missed the ISAA championship by only two points. A fine record indeed. Anyone who attended any of the total of ten dramatic productions put on by the School during the course of the year knows that dramatic art is on the upswing at St. George's. They involved directly more than a quarter of the student body! Much of the credit for this must go to our untiring and ever- enthusiastic chaplain, Fr. Michael Burgess, whose theatrical pro- fessionalism inspired the finest productions I have seen in the school. Especially memorable, I think, were The Lion in Winter and the dual production in the final term of Fr. Pegler's The Summit , directed by Jeff Latimer, and Trial By Jury , but on with the girls from I-Iavergal, with the dramatic aspects coached by Father Michael, and the musical end of things coached and accompanied by Mr. Demierre. As the director of the first play our school ever staged - a little one-actor called The Reluctant Dragon tlt seemed appropriate at the time.l - I ... x l 'Ir t fx am deeply grateful for this new interest and enthusiasm. But all this is just part of the extra-curricular life of the School, albeit a very important and educative one - one that nourishes and enriches. The curricular part, I rather think, we take for granted, what with its nearly six hours of class work per day, hours of home- work lfor some, at leastlj at night, and what might seem an endless number of term papers to be researched, written, and handed in at their appointed time. All of it, however, is a most necessary part of laying the foundations of our lives, and those who have given them- selves over to the work at hand know that it has its own satis- factions and rewards. To all of you who have entered enthusiastically and without stint into the widely varied life that the School has to offer, both inside the classroom and out, my con- gratulations and thanks, for it is you who make St. George's great! In closing let me say, on your behalf a word of farewell to those who are leaving us - Fr. Arthur Pegler, Mr. Victor Clayton, and as fine a body of graduates as I have known. To all of them I say, Thank you for a job well done. Sincerely yours, J.D. Allen
