¥ wu Poy . lar, well known for his delightful pi- iano concerts in Port Perry, has been granted the prestig- ious Licentiate from the Roy- al School of Music, London, England. The exam consisted of three solo performances of major works on the piano, and Dr. Millar went to the Bahamas last month for the exam. The degree is one of the most difficult granted to pi- ano performers, and Dr. Millar received a mark of 186 out of 200, or 93 per cent, and very good comments from the examiner, Dr. Douglas Hopkins. Dr. Hopkins is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Mus- ic, London, and a former organist at St. Paul's Cathe- dral, Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. Dr. Millar told the Star last week that he has been pre- paring for the examination for about nine months, and he was very pleased to have passed, especially with such high marks. Dr. Millar has given three solo concerts at Town Hall, 1873, in Port Perry, and all have been sell-outs. He has also accompanied for sever- al musical productions by the Scugog Choral Society.

Another year ends at PPHS by Debbie Ireland and Debbie Menzies The countdown is over; no days of school left - and only one week of exams! The last assembly of the school year was one of mixed emotions. Twenty-five stud- ents received their junior and senior school letters. The highlight of the assem- bly was the formal an- nouncement that three of our teachers will be leaving next year. Len Franssen, Deb Ireland, and Scott Wilbur made speeches to thank the teachers and to remind them of some humourous inci- dents. Mr. Millar will be retiring and hopes to do PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, June 13, 1979 -- 9 some travelling.
