My Eighteen Years l was born in Montreal but 1'm not a French-Canadian and I hate pea soup. l received my first violin at the age of six, but never really took lessons until the age of nine. XYe travelled much and that slowed up my musical training. From Mon- treal we went to Cornwall, to Timmins, then to Frankford, Ontario, and finally to Toronto, where I really grew up fin height anywayjj. I took lessons from Professor Chris llafeff at the Royal Conservatory of Music. Many were the times I came out of the studio with the tears rolling down my cheeks from the bawling out I received be- cause my lesson was poor. But I will never forget him for what he has done for me. llc is a great man and a great teacher. I have performed in many places such as Kingston, Toronto, Montreal, Bowmanville, Trenton, Batavia, Oshawa, Bradford, Sud- lmry, and North Bay. ln Toronto I have performed at the Masonic Temple, Massey Hall, Eaton Audi- torium, Maple Leaf Gardens, Hart House, The lfxhibition and in many churches of all religions. l have also entertained at the Mental Hospital in Toronto, The Mercer Reformatory for XYomen tthat was inter- estingj and at the Bowmanville Peniten- tiary for Boys. XYhile in Toronto I belonged to seven different orchestras including The Univer- sity of Toronto Symphony and two dance orchestras. On top of practising seven times a week with these orchestras I had pupils to teach and performances to play, plus my own practising and school work to do., Later l was called to do radio dramatics and was on CFRB for two years as Peter Ilan. I also took parts in mystery stories over CKEY. During the war I entertained at army camps and hospitals and did many performances with a minstrel show. To relax in the summer time I joined the Mer- chant Marine and worked on the lake boats as a deck-hand. Sports have been a part of my life just as long as music. So far during my high- school training I have participated i11 track and field, rugby, basketball, baseball and THE TATLER X hockey. At Tillsonburg I have only gone in for track and field because other activ- ities have kept me from sports. This has been a brief glance at my past. XVhat is in store for me in the future is yet to be seen, I would like to enter the school teaching profession and also violin teach- ing. Then l'll be able to give instead of take. Yours sincerely, Steven Choma. ilu jllilemnriam Almost on the eve of the publica- tion of this issue of the Tatler, the tragic news reached the Tatler staff and the school that Dalton Murr and Bob Laur had lost their lives when Bob's plane crashed on Thursday, june lst, near Ostrander. Dalton, a popular member of Grade XIII this year, was active in the school's orchestra and cadet band. Among his out-of-school activities were painting with oils, and scouting. Last year he had attended the XVorld Scout Jamboree in Norway as a mem- ber of the Canadian Scout contingent. A member of Grade XI last year, Rob had not returned to school this year, having decided to devote as much time as possible to flying his own plane. His enthusiasm for flying re- sulted in his becoming the youngest licensed pilot in Canada. In school he was a valued member of the school's orchestra and band. Speaking for a school saddened by the sudden and untimely loss of two of its members, the Tatler staff extend their deepest sympathy to the sorrow- ing parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Laur and Mrs. D. Murr. Y 77
