Calendar
from Feb 1951
by StPetersYork
The choice of Christopher Fry's "The Lady's Not For Burning" as the School Play startled many and was admittedly provocative. But it is generally admitted that the experiment was not unsuccessful and that the cast "pulled it off". Certainly the production evoked more comment and discussion than any School Play of recent years. Elsewhere in this number we print something of the "great argument about it and about". Many, when they have read the pros and cons of argument, will doubtless (to continue the quotation of Old Omar) "come out by that same door wherein they went". For ourselves, we believe that the venture into the more modern realms of the Drama was to be applauded.
The calendar for the coming term contains much of interest, notably the Science Exhibition, to be formally opened on 30th March by E. Wilfred Taylor, Esq., C.B.E., and the rendering of the difficult St. Matthew Passion in Chapel on Good Friday. Rarely does Easter fall within term time, but its unusually early incidence this year means that we shall not yet have dispersed for the holidays. The opportunity to observe these most significant days in the Christian Year as a community will be readily grasped, and the experience will, we believe. be an inspiration to us all.
