 Simsbury, April 17.-Raymond Richards McOrmond, after thirteen years as headmaster of Westminster school, has rendered his resignation to take effect June 30. This an- nouncement was made by MT. Mo- Ormond in school assembly this morning.
 MT. McOrmond, who became headmaster in 1923, was born in Clinton, Mass, was graduated from Yale in 1907, and for fourteen years before coming to Westminster was a master at Choate schol, Walling- ford, where he served as head of the mathematics department, direc- tor of music and head coach of fotball. At Westminster MT. Mo- Ormond has taught mathematics and music and assisted in the coaching as well as directed the schools administration. With Father Sill of Kent school he originated Fathers Day" which has been widely adopted among preparatory schools. He has been 8 member of the Headmasters' Association of Connecticut.
 Westminster school was founded nearly half century ago by Will liam Lee Gushing at Dobbs Ferry, New York, and moved to its present hilltop location at the beginning of the century.
 Blue Ribbon Paper

paratory schools of the east and has maintained a -than-average record for winning important con- tests. The Westminster News, the school paper, has of recent years rated high among the preparatory school-boy publications. For the last two years it has won blue rib- bon ranking in the scholastic press competition of Columbia university.
 Although many of the graduates of Westminster have entered Yale quite naturally, since it has always had Yale graduate as headmaster graduates are found in the lead- ing colleges of the east. Both the Alumni Association and the Vest minister Associates, which includes fathers, guardians, and uncles of boys in the school, are active and influential organizations.
 Board of Trustees
 In 1894 Westminster was reorgan- ized as non-proflt corporation un- der board of trustees composed of prominent alumni and citizens of Sinmsbury. They include Walter c. Burbank, Larchmont, N. Y, Eversley Childs, .Jr., New York city; Walter s. Crandell, Bronxville, N. Y.; Rob- ert Darling, Simsbury; Robert E.. Darling, Simsbury; Cass Gilbert, Jr, Greenwich, Conn; Richard K. Hawes, Fall River, Mass; Geirge E.. Pattison, Simsbury, and Moreau L.. Stoddard, Fairfield, Conn. Charles Bradford Beach of West Hartford is president of the Alumni Associa- tion.
 It is. expected that the Vest minister trustees will this spring an- nounce the appointment of head master to succeed MT. McOrmond.

Youths SScOre
In Fete Of
Piano Music
Everett Stevens and
Ann Sugar Heard
at Festival.

"HE thirteenth annual festival
of piano music by the WASH
ington Pianist's Club. Katha-
L rine McReynolds Morrison, di-
rector, was inaugurated last night at
the Calvary Methodist Episcopal
Church by two young pianists, Ann
Sugar and Everett Stevens.
1t is gratifying to those who have
the cause of music at heart to have
tangible proofs of the strides made
toward technical and artistic perfec-
ton in the young generation. The
Washington Pianist's Club furnishes
a splendid opportunity for appear
ances under most favorable aspects in
programs where high standards of
music are being maintained. 1t Is
not without pride that one may re-
cord the performances Of two young
artists who year by year grew and
developed under the very eyes of the
community.
Program Of Masters.
Always accurate as to detail and
shading, Ann Sugar gave program
consisting of Bach-Samaroff's Little
Organ Fugue" in four voices. G
minor; Bach Bauers chorale. "Jesu.
Joy of Mans Desiring" and the
Presto" from the Sonata, in D
Major, opus 10, No. g." by Beethoven.
Her second group consisted OF three
Chopin numbers: "Valse, z minor"
opus posthumus. "Berceuse" and
"Ballade, G minor" opus 23. The
high light of her performance was the
first part of the Grieg "A Minor
Concerto" played to the accompani-
ment of her teacher. Felian Garzia.
at the second piano. In this her mas
terry of the technical difficulties and
roundness of tone gave full justice to
the execution of the masterpiece. If
her own personality has not as yet
fully come to the fore, her youth gives
promise which may be fulfilled in
time.
Miss Sugar received small ova-
tion after each of her groups and
bowed acknowledgement several times.
Excellent Bach Player.
Everett Stevens, whose program in
cluded more pretentious compositions,
such as the Organ Prelude and Fugue
in A Minor" by Bach-Liszt; two
etudes, Fl Major" and &C Minor"
opus Is, by Chopin. and Sonata Ap-
passionate" opus 5, in three move
ments, revealed himself as an excel
lert Bach player, free and singularly
mature in his manner of presentation.
The two etudes by Chopin which fol-
lowed. recently heard on several pro-
grams by visiting artists. confirmed
the good impression he made in Bach,
although both lacked somewhat the
ultimate finish. The same may be said
of the Sonata Appassionata," which
lacked the necessary depth. Never
theless, whatever Everett Stevens has
to offer seems to come from a natural
impulse. He Is inclined toward bril-
liant music and has verve in execu-
ton.
His own concerto, "F Sharp Major"
with Leah Effenbach at the second
piano, is of this type and affords
many opportunities for display OF
agility. On the whole the work Is
immature. The fashioning of the
opening phrases reminded of the ia
miliar concerto which preceded his. 1t
lacks objective and repose. However,
Stevens possesses unquestionable tai
ent for composition and gives much
promise.
The large audience filled the audi
torium to capacity and was generous
in its appreciation. E. de s.
