30 RUPERT,S LAND GIRLS' SCHOOL Miss jackson very kindly consented to be our pianist throughout the year. We had a very successful Birthday Party in October to which we invited all the graduates of the Glee Club. On March 13th we held an open meeting. The program was composed of Negro Spirituals. A short paper on Negro Music was prepared by Pat Love and several spirituals were sung by the Club. Miss Armitage gave two solos. YV e had many visitors at this meeting. PAT Lovis. MUSIC, DANCING AND CHORAL SPEECH Great interest has been shown in many branches of music this year. The piano students have worked hard and have made very good progress. Under Miss jackson's leadership the Studio Club held several enjoyable meetings at the School, when all the pupils per- formed. The Senior Choir, directed by Mr. Gibson, has done very good work this season. Miss Lloyd's Dancing classes have also made great progress both in technique and interpretation, and the girls have found real enjoyment in their work. The Choral speaking classes have been encouraged by Miss Taylor to write poems themselves which they could speak. One of these original poems was spoken at the Recitals in April. At the end of the Christmas term a Carol Programme Was given in the Assembly Hall. which included carols sung in groups by all the grades from III to XII. and also by the Glee Club, and some charming Nativity Tableaux presented by Grades I and II. Solos by Miss Armitage and Miss jackson added much to everybody's enjoy- ment. Un the evenings of April 22nd and 23rd. the School was At Home to the parents. and Recitals of music, dancing and choral speaking were given. Those who had done the best work during the year were chosen to take part, and the performances were artistic.

Included amongst the instruments are three violins, a flute, a Spanish guitar, a mandolin and piccolo. Anne Cunningham and jean Sellers have been playing this year with the High School Orchestra. THE YEAR'S ART The Art, this year, has made great strides under the able super- vision of Mrs. Edwards.

The intricate process and growing object keep them intrigued for hours, no matter how expert for inexpertj they are, and the finished product, polished and glazed, always brings delight. A very new addition to studio activities is basket weaving, which is done mostly by the lower grades. All the patterns, both complicated and simple, are evenly and well executed. Many of the middle school girls volunteered to help Mrs. Edwards with the scenery for Prunella. They worked day and
