MARTIN SCHOOL The forty-two St. Martin students who participated in the extra-curricular recorder programme this school year under the direction of Alina Syposz and Betty Hanley presented a Recorder Recital for their parents on Wednesday, June 14.

The programme aims to increase general mus- icianship by developing such skills as ear training, sight read- ing, playing by ear, improvisation and composition as well as playing pieces. Miss Syposz and Mrs. Hanley and the students are to be congratulated for their performances and a very suc- cessful year's work.
