BAIRD CUP The form which the music competitions have taken in the last year or two gives the School a chance of having a concert of excellent music, with no break in the programme, with players and audience keyed-up by the competitive element, and the whole rounded off by the comments of an experienced musician and adjudicator.

This year's Baird Cup Competition on 23rd March made an admirable programme with plenty of variety and yet consisting of thoroughly good music. Special point was given by the invitation to Mr. David Swale, an Old Peterite, to come to adjudicate. We are most grateful to him for doing so. 24
