Training School Boys Enthusiczstic Over Visiting Musicians The boys at the Ontario Train- ing School were a very enthusi- astic audience for the Dept. of Education Concert Series Group on Jan. 17. Before their appear- ance in town in connection with the Lions Club Concert Series, the group visited the School and presented a very well roundecl program of one hour's duration. Mr. J. J. Brown, Assistant Su- perintendent, introduced t il e guests following which Mr. Chas. Brown, one of the cornetists in the Brass Quartet, took over tle position of Master of Cere- monies. His pungent. remarks kept the whole hour flowing smoothly .and informally. This group, hailing from Kitchener and Waterloo, had the distinction of balancing their program so that no one soloist predominated over the others. Mn. Jim Underwood, after a few informative remarks re bis instrument, the euphonium, play- ed "Variations on the Old Home Down on the Farm." This was thoroughly enjoyed. Stanley Bowman's group of selections was highlighted by a 'Polish Dance" by Severn. Miss A-'ý- Eby, introduced as the tiny lady behind the piano, was prevailaci upon iby the boys to play the "Tennessee Waltz" in which the boys sang in the second chorus. 0f the ten selections that the group presented, a word must be said o! the final quartet rendition o! "Orpheus in the Underworld," popularily called the "French Car. Can Polka" which drew the con- cert to a close. 0F THE NEWEST 0F ALL NEW CARS FOR 1951 SLONGER, LOWER, WIDER BIG.
