Miss Dalgleish 1then conducted them as they sang “Rejoice Emmanuel". “In a Bleak Midwinter“. "The Twel- jve Days of Christmas“ and a ‘jolly round, “Christmas is Coming. the Goose is Getting Fat". Later in the program. the grade 7 choir. also conducted by Miss Dalgleish sang a group of carols of several nations. from the beautiful Huron carol of Canada, a French carol. ar- ranged by Bizet, "March of the Three Kings". and a French- Canadian carol “Whence 0 Shepherd Maiden“ which was sung in French to the lovely Negro spiritual “Go Tell it on the Mountain." The program closed with a group of five Christmas songs sung by the Grade 7 and 8 “Special Choir" directed by Miss Dalgleish. These students. most of them members of the other two choirs. had volunteer- ed to form this “special” choir. which says much for the enthus- iasm for singing which Miss Dalgleish has engendered in the Crestwood Rd.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Mc- was evidence of how a skillful teacher has been able to im- part enthusiasm into a group of very different boys. so that each one was quite obviouslyt doing his utmost. Their respect for Mr. Martin and their rap-‘l port with him shone through everything they did. The grade 3 boys progressed through simple forward rolls. singly and then in pairs. to ldouble rolls and head stands. Their valiant hand stands over IMr. Martin’s broad back were :a treat to see, although many of them owed their success to a little assist from Mr. Martin’s fery. Jeff Neely and Peggy Burridge. The announcer was Roddy Holme-Douglas. lights were handled by Randy Wood and sound effects were produc- ed by Ken Matheson and Garry Hughes. ‘ Another interesting number was given by Miss L. Acheson‘s grade 5 class who exhibited con- siderable skill in choral speak- ing. a type of group recitation. They gave two numbers. “Skat- ing” and an amusing story in verse called "The Enchanted Shirt". . An interesting contribution to the musical side at fhe even- ing was that presented by a group of Grade 7 and 8 stud- ents playing recorders. They were directed by Mr. Hugh Martin and played a varied group of songs including “Santa Lucia", “Oh How Lovely is the Evening”. "Come All Ye Faith- ful" and Silent Night”. The audience also got into the act when they were led. or urged. into singing carols by Mr. Hugh helping hand. ‘ The grade 8 tumblers led off, with an impressive pyramid.‘ They then demonstrated for-§ ‘ward rolls“ head stands. fiips both over Mr. Martin and through a hula hoop. Several. of the older boys then did flips over the backs of five smaller boys kneeling side by side. 31-. though Mr. Martin had demur- red at this, warning the boys that they would probably scare their mothers. Mr. Martin gamer took part in most of this even doing a very creditable head stand and doing a double roll with one of the boys. This ,caused considerable laughter as ‘Mr. Martin obviously had no ‘trouble rolling the boy over. but when it came time for the stud- ent to roll Mr. Martin up and over. this was only accomplished with evident strain and after several false starts. A very spectacular part of this display was when one of the larger boys stood with a smaller one on his shoulders and then they both started hula hoops turning about their hips. Another display that received a good band was when four boys locked shoulders. supporting two Martin. Mr. John Martin made an en- tertaining MC. and introduced to the audience Mr. J.
