The coed choir con- isted of mostly non-music majors who wanted to participate in an organized musi- al organization. Throughout the year, this singing group performed three concerts at Hill Au- ditorium, plus an additional program that was presented at the UClub. The troupe, however, did not limit their singing talents to the Ann Arbor area alone; in the spring, the Arts Chorale traveled abroad, singing at a plethora of different places. + Kristin Long Net kept their audi- ences guessing as to their next joke. Enter- taining themselves as well as patrons, the improvisational comedy group played games, sang, danced, and did skits based upon the whims and ideas suggested by the audience. These shows also included other genres of entertainment, such as stand-up comedy, movies, contests, and special tricks, all which the audience enjoyed. Once a week, the group held improvisa- tional comedy workshops for all who wanted to attend, and they often incorpo- rated the results into the shows. With work and dedication, each of the players contrib- uted energy, ideas, personality and fun to every performance. + Jaime Feder The Women ' s Glee Cfiib carried on a tradition of excellence. Whether it was through formal perfor- mances or at football tailgates, this group of women made it a point to offer singing performances that all individuals of the University could enjoy. In addition to dual performances at Hill Auditorium, the Women ' s Glee Club sang during special University events. Members also pro- vided musical entertainment for alumni and football tailgaters. In addition to their shows, they also joined forces with the Men ' s Glee Club in the fall for a hayride, as well as a semi-formal in the winter. Kristin Long

Kathy Silverstein and Boh Oilliam practice a singing skit used toenter- tain theiruudiences, as they prepare for their act in a show. The duo ' s act was only a small facet of the troupe ' s weekly show. Members of Without a Net gather for a comical group pose. The co- medians avoided the seriousness of daily life, with their jovial interac- tions. Their Wednesday evening performances attracted many stu- dents to the Union for a good laugh. Members of the Women ' s Glee Club practice for their fall show. The practices were not simply part of a routine, for many, it was their favorite part. The smiles accompa- nied the tunes, as the women bonded in sweet harmony. layout by Kristin Long Mark Wolly Virginia Hiltz Organizations
