Vol. 15 No. 33 August 16, 1972 15¢ Per Copy SUMMERSOUNDS '72 SUCCESS IN TERRACE BAY Terrace Bay was certainly fortunate in having the opportunity to hear Summersounds '72 last Thursday evening. The auditorium was filled to capacity with people from age 5 to 75 as thirty-three students who were chosen from auditions held throughout the province put on a performance which could be called "highly professional "'. Numerous musical arrangements including country, folk, pop and even some original compositions by the students certainly illustrated the excellence with which these young musicians entertained. Under the direction of Walter Cavalieri, high school students between the ages of 13 and 21 have travelled approximately 3000 of a 45000 mile tour sponsored by the Provincial Government under the Opportunities for Youth Programme. "Fantastic", "Great", "Outstanding Performance" "Unbelievable", Truly Professional", Most Enjoy- able" were just some of the comments heard during intermission. Terrace Bay's own Lesli Thompson was among the thirty-three and should certainly be congratulated on her excellent performance. Lesli's performance included playing the organ and accompanying in vocal arrangements. We are more than proud of her talented abilities and fine representation of Terrace Bay. No pay is received, but the experience these students gather must be most rewarding. Everyone of these young students certainly des- erves congratulations and recognition of a job well NEW POLICE CHIEF FOR TERRACE BAY David Barnett, was recently appointed Police Chief of the Terrace Bay force, taking up his duties on August 1, 1972.
