Christmas Wishes (1968)
Another Year gone by;
Another Year
Slides from the unseen future
To the past.
A little have we gained;
A little lost.
The balance tips a little more to Age
And less to Youth.
A part of what we gained
We owe to you.
Our thanks we give you, and we
wish you joy
This Christmas and throughout the
year to come.

Anniversary (1968)
A year ago two of us came
Our clarinets a-blowing,
Now there are three instead of two –
Your student band is growing!
If by next year the number should
Increase by half again
Why, then you’ld have four and a half
And that might be a strain!
Slowly we learn, as weeks slip by,
For skills are slowly won.
It’s difficult, but thanks to you
It certainly is fun!
