St. Mary’s way is the best in the
U. S. A.
Her blue and white I shall always
revere.
I like her standards so high
Reaching up to the sky.
Yes, I like it here!
I am so lucky to be here at St.
Marie
And I am thankful each day of th’
year
For every — thing that I’ve had
Thanks to mom and dad.
Yes, I like it here!
I like to walk through the groves
of the oak trees so high
Raise my head to the sky.
Say how grateful am I
For the life that I’m living.
I’m working and giving
My best to the school I hold dear.
Yes, I like it, I like it, I like it here!

On March 22, the district portion
of the North Carolina Music Edu
cator’s Association contest was held
at the school for the blind. Eight
of Miss Haig’s piano students were
entered in this contest. Jane
W’ooden and Johnsye Massenburg
received Superior ratings in the
Intermediate class. In the Senior
class Martha Martin and Nancy
Wall received Excellent ratings,
and Carol Williams, Julia Ann
Huntt, and Helen Jones received
Superior. Those girls who received
Superior will go to Greensboro on
April 12, to play in the state contest
and finals. The district contest
judges were Mr. Robert Carter, Mr.
Jonathan Sweat, and Mr. Lee
Howard. The judges for the state
contest will be from New York. The
N.C.M.E.A. is a very difficult con
test, and Miss Haig’s students
deserve much credit for working
so hard and doing so well.
Three new operas with a futuris
tic touch are: Benjarmin Britten’s
“The Turn of the Screw,” Dommick
Argento’s “The Boor,” and Douglas
Moore’s “Gallantry”. Mr. Britten is
known by his “Ceremony of
Carols.” His opera, while it i.s a
technical masterpiece, is not very
melodious. However, it will be
better liked in the future as people
begin to understand contemporary
music. The other two operas are
delightful comedies, especially “Gal
lantry.” It is a satire on television
that involves a broadcast of an
operation which is continually in
terrupted by commercials. The
characters in a love triangle are
the doctor, the nurse, and a man
with appendicitis.

studied for many years at Julliard

the league of composers to perform
