girls' chorus were '"Little Lamb
Who Made Thee" and "The Lord's
prayer". Several students garite
individual performances on musi-
cal instruments, one of which was
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," play-
ed by Bill Connell on the organ. A
large group of boys put on a gym-
nastic display with skill and speed,
An interesting variation in this
was a wrestling match between
Jim Lockridge and Bob Peel.
The Israelian dance was pre-
sented by a group of girls in color-
ful costumes. Sheila Porter, Agnes
Lane and Dorothy Sullivan then
sang "Ezekiel Saw De Wheel." A
short comedy play brought chuck-

English humour. Joan Armitage
played the leading role as a
haughty, but supposedly (tempera-

ing actors were Lois Walker,
George Procter, George Webster
and Gordon Smith, The concert
was finished by several selections

by the Glee Club,

students and original planning by

The Shouting Sea
How, many of us have been to
the. sea shore and watched the sea
in its many different moods and
listened to its voices? Or did you
look upon it as merely an inani-
mate of water now knowing that
it has moods and voices? Oh yes!
Its. voices are many for those who
know how to look and listen.
' Have you never stood on a rocky
crag and seen the sea pounding
everything about you mercilessly,
seen the fingers of foam clawing
the rocks, heard the breakers
thudding on the beach? Had you
no cars, even your eyes could tell
you that the sea is shouting and
shrieking its challenge to you?
Those who have the daring and
enough love of adventure to accept
the challenge can tell you about
the voices of aea, about her cruelty
and .her treachery; for one can
never trust the sea. Even those
who listen can never understand
her, for like a whimsical woman,
she is fickle and demanding. At
any moment, her mood may change
and she may demand the adven-
turer's life.
But the sea has yet another
voice. It speaks to us on a warm,
sunny, summer day when there is
no cloud in the sky and the sea
stretches endlessly before us like
a shimmering coverlet of silver and
blue. There is neither challenge
nor cruelty here, It is a promise
of peace and tranquillity. This is
the sea poets. have sung about for
decades. Here is a sea luring, call-
ing, beckoning 'us from our petty
problems of men.
- The murmur of the sea may be
just as compelling as the shout.
We may not even hear it but only
feel the driving urge or compulsion
drawing us to it. Men like Colum-
bus have heard this voice, What
else do you suppose prompted him
to see if he would sail off the edge
of the world or find the east by
sailing west? He felt this urge and
could no snore resist it than a
speck of iron could a magnet. Not
all can hear this voice but it is
there, and if we are deaf to it we
have only ourselves to blame.
How can anyone really look at
the sea and then call it inanimate?
One would have to be deaf and
dumb not to hear the sea shouting
to us whether offering .a challenge
or peace, adventure or respite.
