Original Toronto Star caption: Spring music festival of Toronto schools is conducted at Massey Hall last night by Harvey Perrin, who was making his 43rd appearance as choir director. Pianist Alice Wilson made her first appearance with Perrin back in 1927. You never lose the edgy feeling, though, Perrin says.
