Music Club Leslie Coxall lSecreluryT, Jill Pert lPresidentt, Ken Zeller lTreasurerJ. This year, Three choirs, the mixed choir, The girls' choir, and The mens' choir, formed The basis of our music club at The College. We would have liked to have formed smaller interest groups, such as instrumental and listening groups, as well, however, This was almost impossible, due to lack of rehearsal Time during our weeks at The College. Therefore, This being our Centennial year, it was decided thatwe should put on a show early in The year and call iT T.T.C. '67. Since The Theme of our show was concerned with the whole College, January 26th and 27th were not purely choral evenings. Mr. McKay and his art students gave us an amusing glimpse into The lives of Canadian Teachers from l867 to The present day. There were slides of college life, and ethnic dances under The direction of Miss Ruddell. Some of The numbers performed by The choirs were religious, and some were folksongs la number of These folk songs were performed by Bram Morrison and Friendsj, but all were either written or ar- ranged by Canadian composers for Canadian choirs. ln spite of bad weather, both nights were well attended and were a tremendous success. After this it was found thatwe had relatively little time left as far as weeks in at the College were concerned, and so it was decided that we should continue with only the mixed choir to sing for enjoyment and interest, as well as rehearsing for the closing assembly. ln closing, l should like to thank our staff advisor, Miss Bennett, and the members of my executive, Suzanne Smith, Leslie Coxall, and Ken Zeller for their assistance inthe organization ofthe club.

T. T. C. '67 On January 26 and 27, Toronto Teachers' College celebrated Canada's lOOth birthday with an evening of music, drama, and dance. From the puppet history of teaching practices and mores of the past century to the dying strains of God Save the Queen, we were delighted and stirred. Graphic descriptions of college life and gracefully executed folk dances told of dedicated preparation..ln the professional performances of the Ladies', Men's andvMixed choruses,we experiencedthe ioy of Creation. Special mention should be made of Lisa Ference's solo and of the student conductors. Bram Morrison and his many friends sailed, roared, and caroused through Canadian 'folk songs with infectious verve. For an evening well-spentwe thankthe students, and particularly the many staff members who guided, coaxed, and encouraged such fine performances. Page 52
