The Grey choir defeated the only other group entered in the Grade 8 class, winning first prize with a mark of 85. The test piece for the Grade 8 Choir was "Sing Your Way Home". It was performed unaccompanied under the direction of Mr. Colquhoun.

The test piece for the double trio was "Somewhere a Child". The double trio, conducted by Mr. Colquhoun, sang the piece unaccompanied. According to Mr. Colquhoun, the "most in- spiring and best liked test piece" sung by Grey was the selection of the triple trio, "I Believe". Nine girls from Grades 7 and 8 performed the piece, conducted by Mr. Colquhoun and accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Whitmore. They placed first with a mark of ;a per cent. The music teachers at Grey report students worked hard in practice sessions for a month preparing for the festival. "We are very pleased with their efforts," Mr. Colqu- houn said.
