THE CHOIR Even the best-regulated families have their crises; and at the beginning of term the Choir was faced with an acute shortage of trebles; somehow, however, Mr. Waine overcame this difficulty and the Summer Term, reaping the fruit of the previous two terms' work, proved to be one of successful effort : in addition to two choral communions the following music was sung :Anthems: This joyful Eastertide—Old Dutch.

Three dates were outstanding in the Choir's diary. The Ripon Festival is reported in full elsewhere; but for half the Choir probably the most memorable event is their visit, on 2nd June, to the village of Thorganby, where, at the invitation of Sir John DunningtonJefferson, we sang a selection of our favourite music, whilst Mr. Waine amply showed his ability and ingenuity on the simple village organ. We would especially like to thank all those who were responsible for the absolutely magnificent tea which followed; we only hope we earned it. Owing to our various commitments the anuual outing to Scarborough had to be shortened, and many people wondered in advance whether it was worth going if we did not set off until 12-30 p.m.; but all fears were proved unfounded and the perfect weather, careful arrangements and excellent tea combined to make this one of the most successful Choir Outings ever. 34
