Later in second Term, members of the Orches6a presented a lunch-hour concert which i;;ilJ.d Oi.ttesffal suites by Roman and Tomlins' tft. girtr in the Recorder group showed their

-,Mfes ability in the "Anna Magdalene Suite" bv Bach, and severeal girls presented the first movement of a Mozart sonata for piano and strings. The Soloist was Jeanette Howman, and string players were Diana Marshall, Janet Robson, Helen Marshall, Alison Don and Beverley Turner, while Alison Specht provided a firm bass on the recorder.
