The Choir
from Oct 1954
by StPetersYork
Anthem—"Give us the wings of faith". (Bullock.) Motet—"Cantate Domino". (Pitani.) Anthem—"Lord for thy tender mercies' sake". (Farrant.) Commemoration Anthem—"How lovely are thy dwellings". (Brahms.)
and, with the School, C. S. Lang's arrangements of :- Evening Service—Stanford in B flat. Walmisley in D minor. Te Deum—Stanford in C. Stanford in B flat.
The balance of tone between the voices has greatly improved during the term and the Commemoration Anthem revealed some splendid singing.
From the point of view of the younger members of the Choir, no doubt the most important event of the term was the outing to Scarborough on 14th June. This was held later this year than last, when it was put forward by the Coronation. We were pleased to find the Scarborough amusements in full swing and they were patronised to the full before we drove to Hackness for a first-class tea at the Grange. We are most grateful to the Head Master for making the outing possible. A few Seniors, embroiled with "A" level revision, missed the organised outing on 14th June and went on their own later in the term.
This term we are saying goodbye to some of our most senior members. We thank them for the keenness and musicianship they have shown during the many terms they have been with us and we wish them well for the future.
A chant by W. B. Hawkins was added to the repertory during the term.

P. G. TAYLOR, J. H. BAINES, J. CROSSLEY, R. DUNWELL, D. C. HOLMES, A. M. MARSH, R. D. WELCH, J. M. WELSH.
The Library stocktaking is over. For once everything is tidy; and the poor unfortunates who volunteered for the job are convalescing. In other words, thanks to Timms, Welsh, Welch, Baines, Crowe, and Hepworth, the Library is now ready for use again.
