THE GRADUATION SASH THIS YEAR, for the first time in Trafalgar ' s history, the members of the Sixth Form were presented with navy blue sashes with navy and white tassels. The purpose of these sashes is to make a distinction between the gra- duating class and the rest of the school, so that the Sixth Form may gain the respect of the junior girls. It is also to make the Sixth Form realize that they are the senior girls in the school, and they, along with the prefects, must set an example for the rest of the school. If, by means of a bad mark, detention, or conduct mark, one of the girls loses this respect, she must also lose her sash for a week. She must stand up for her bad mark in Prayers minus her sash, and is not allowed to wear it again until the Tuesday after her bad mark has been read out. So far this year, these sashes have been fairly successful, and we hope that an even greater success will be gained in future years. Jean Mason, Arts VI, Gumming House. THE YOUNG PEOPLE ' S SYMPHONY CONCERTS MANY PEOPLE, when they think of classical music, think, That stuff! That is only for fogies and long-hairs! People with that outlook on music are missing a tremendous experience. One of the most enjoyable and economical ways to have this experience is to go to the Young People ' s Sym- phony Concerts. It is very important, especially at the teenage stage, to cultivate pastimes that will broaden your interests. If you can overcome the mental barrier that many have towards classical music, life will be fuller and more interesting for you. The Young People ' s Concerts give you the opportunity of seeing boys and girls your own age perform. This gives music a deeper meaning for you. The concerts also have the advantage of a wonderful conductor, Dr. Wilfrid Pelletier, and a fine orchestra. This year there has been music for everyone ' s taste. Once we had a puppet show, Petrouchka , and there were many instructive lectures on all different types of musical instruments which helped us appreciate all kinds of music. The past year ' s concerts were excellent, and I am positive that everyone who went to one will go again next year. Jessie MacLean, Form IIIa, Ross House.
