The prize for the best number on the program was awarded to Miss Grace Tite's class of girls who gave the Shepherd scene at Bethlehem, with vocal accompaniment.

CHORAL SOCIETY START SECOND HALF OF SEASON The West Vancouver Choral Society entered on the second half of the season on Monday evening last when the members commenced practising the work for the next concert which will be held towards the end of March. The program promises to be a particularly attractive one and includes items for male voices only, and the ladies also will ren- _ der separate numbers. Chief amongst the work to undertaken by the full choir is Elgar's "Banner of St. George" which portrays the age-old his­ tory of and the battle between St. George and the dragon. Amongst the miscellaneous items are Bishop's " Now Tramp O'er Moss and Fell," a Scotch martial chorus smacking of the heather, the bag-pipes and the clans, Fanning's " Song of the Vikings," an inspiring chorus of the old Norse sea warriors, and Macfarren's " Break, Break, Break, on Thy Cold Grey Stones" being a beautiful musical setting of Tennyson's lament on the drowning of his brother. There is also a Scotch foron- ach or lament from Macfarren's " Lady of the Lake" by the mixed choir and the men will no doubt enjoy rendering the Pirate's Song by Baas, being a musical arrangement of the well-known words "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum" The ladies section of the choir will have under study Ger­ man's "Beauteous Morn" and the two test items for the B. C. Fest­ ival of 1930. These latter pieces are Parry's " Hymn to Night" and Fletcher's arrangement of ar. old Irish folk tune "Follow Me Down to Carlow." Miss Margaret McIntyre, the choir's gifted accompanist, is at present working on the orchestr­ ation for the " Banner of St. George," and her orchestra ex­ pects to make an early start on their practices. Miss McIntyre also hopes to arrange an orchestration for some of the miscellaneous items under study, and her outstand­ ing work with the choir's rend­ ering of "A Tale of Old Japan" will doubtless be remembered by the public of West Vancouver. Altogether the choir have a- head of them an ambitious pro­ gram, and one which will pro­ vide Mr. J. Haydn Young, the conductor, with the opportunity to bring out their best effort, a result which he has already demonstrated his ability to pro­ duce. A number of new members were welcomed on Monday last and all sections of the choir view with enthusiasm the work in prospect for the balance of the season. The Society is at present ap­ proaching full strength and pros­ pective members are requested to make their application with­ out further delay. Two or three more tenors would be particular­ ly welcome. The next rehearsal will be held at 8.15 sharp on Monday even­ ing, the 13th instant.
