Music—While You Shirk

In spite of solid opposition provided by Tramping. Football and other club meetings on the evening of Thursday the 19th, there was a good attendance at the AGM of the Club. Last year's activities were outlined briefly, the aims and purpose of the Club expounded in detail, and a committee of sixteen elected. For the benefit of those who want to contact them in connection with recitals, requests, etc., they are: Secretary, Pauline de Schryver: Committee: Jean Sims, Pauline Michael, Anne Lomas, Ginny Lawrence, Marie Louise Nihotte, Nell Casey, Gordon Orr, Derek Bale. Neil Mountier, John McDonald. Vincent Holcroft, Phil Alve, David Denniston, Graham Weston, Bernard O'Brien.

After some polite wrangling it was decided to hold regular evening recitals every Thursday at 8 p.m., and lunch-hour request sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays, 1-2 p.m. A notebook for requests has, with the kind permission of Mr. Miller, been placed on the window-ledge (first on the left as you enter) in the Library, A bitter note from last year's Sec.—"Nutcracker Suite" will NOT be played at request sessions more than twice during the year.

For the first evening on Thursday, April 3. Mr. Page has consented to give his views of "The Misuse of the Gramophone" (the capitals, are ours) and will expatiate on Contemporary Music, with illustrations from piano, and possibly gramophone. Freshers are assured that Mr. Page's comments are as well worth hearing and as delightful as his playing.

As mentioned in the handbook, the gramophone is for you and the committee is (within reason) at your service.
