The panel of judges had a difficult time in selecting the winners in each of the two categories â€"â€" Best Displayâ€" (3 winners) and Most Unique Display (2 winners). Nothing is perfect. This fact has helped Dominion Textile become a leader in the Canadian textile industry. Because it means there must be ways to improve almost every fabric. Dominion Textile is constantly searching for these ways. Who thinks up new wrinkles for getting rid of old ones, in slacks and sheets and fabrics of all kinds? 12 Yonge Street South Best Disp) H.

This week, I hope you will bear with me if I turn once again to the local musical scene. The theme is the same â€" people making music. The context. how- ever, is quite different. Where the members of the symphony are all trained musicians, though with varying degrees of proficiency, the same is not true of high school students who attempt to satisfy adequately the requirements of a school musical. This week, on Friday and Saturday evenings, with a repeat next week, also on Friday and Sat- urday evenings, Bayview Secondary School will present Gilbert and Sullivan’s THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. The persevering efforts of Miss Elizabeth Mathews, the school’s musical director, and of 125 dedicated students make this presentation possible. I assume that most of my readers know Gilbert and Sullivan’s works, and some of you know the music even better than I do. I will not try here, then, to act as a kind of critic-before- the-fact in order, perhaps, to persuade you to at- tend our school production! Instead, I prefer to attempt giving you some insight into the problems faced in producing such a show, and into the reactions of some of the student participants to this particular kind of constructive activity. To this end, I interviewed a few of the people concerned. I’ll begin with Miss Mathews as she explains needs, problems and objectives. “We began work the second week of Septem- ber. Prerequisites, of course. are a capable pian- ist and some good vocal leads â€" without these, there could not be a show. Next is the score. Few people know that the score available to us is written for an orchestra and must. therefore, be re-written for the school band and for the special ensemble that will accompany the singing. I have to do this myself, and it takes ALL my spare time for quite a. few weeks. “Objectives? What I really want all the people involved in the musical to learn is a sense of responsibility. When they say they’ll do some- thing, they must stick with it. If they learn this, then, in addition to the other benefits, their involvement with the musical will be as valuable to them as any other part of their education.” Brenda Haddock, grade 13, is singing the role of Ruth, a pira’tical maid of all work (and no play?). This is Brenda’s third musical, and she says all the leads have been practising an hour after school every day since early October. Here are her comments: “I just love it. You make so many friends. And with everyone working towards a common goal, we generate a_spiri§ oi: a lfind I don’t find in other parts of the school. Some nights, we rehearse till 7:30, and those are the times I don’t do much studying, unless I have a test the next day. Otherwise, the musical doesn’t interfere too much With my regular school wor .” Singers need musicians. and Ingrid Zijp's role in the musical is to play flute in the ensemble. This is Ingrid’s third major production. too, but despite a full grade 13 study load, she leaves no doubt about her reactions: “I have the feeling that I am helping to create something musical. I love music, and I love playâ€" ing the flute, listening to the voices singing, and singing myself, and I really enjoy being a part of it. I find great self-expression through and in the music. Every show demands a lot of behind-the- scenes work, such as costumes, sets, lighting. This is the area represented by Steve Gentles, grade 13. This is the fifth year Steve has been working on sets. He enjoys adapting set designs to the stage at hand. constructing the backdrop and building any additional pieces required. For the past two months, he has been working at least two hours each day after school, and for the past two weeks, he’s been on the job till eight o‘clock in the evening. He tells us what “I also find that if I really make an effort, the musical does not have to interfere with my studies.” .“I get a great deal of satisfaction hearing people’s comments on the set and the whole pro- duction. The work is hard, but it’s challenging and it’s fun. I do it each year because I enjoy it. keeps him at it “I find, too, that I get to know some of the teachers who are involved in the production much better than I would in a normal classroom rela- tionship. I also find that working for the musical doesn’t really interfere with my studying. If you find yourself occasionally stretched a little thin, most of your teachers know why and are pretty good about it.” r-v-_ Dev” _.V. All told, then, I think that our annual mus- ical contributes many values to Bayview Second- ary’s school year. I’d like to think that all these efforts might contribute something to you, my readers. Won’t you make a resolve to come one of the four nights and discover that “. . . the night shall be filled with music. And the cares that infest the day. Shall fold their tents, like the Arabs. And as silently steal away.” See you there â€" in spirit. I’ll still be in hospital January 12, 13. 19 and 20. But. I hope YOU enjoy the show! York Commercial College at 15 Yo‘I'Ige Street North.
