c tacit ui a f C ClllcltiC C Lot aleet Miss Mae Lindsay deserves a great deal of credit for being able to get twenty-seven boys to stand up, let alone sing, during activity period, which is so early in the morning! But their golden voices echoing through the corridors woke the whole school to another day. The club conclud- ed a highly successful year under the very able direction of Miss Lindsay. The mem- bers participated in radio broadcasts over Station WJDA and entertained at various clubs and churches. The highlight of the year was the Spring Music Festival. Dick Tilton and Paul Ellis represented the Glee Club at the Eastern State Festival. Some chore to create harmony between the sopranos and the altos! Each voice chirped on Wednesday and Friday morn- ings to the pleasure of Miss Mae Lindsay and anyone who was standing at the door of the auditorium. The rhythm was so real that it was hard to listen to with- out dancing. The Girls ' Glee Club was made up of some work and some fun. The annual jaunt to New Bedford for the State Music Festival proved to be an ex- citing adventure. Any girl was invited to yoedel back and join the Glee Club which provided an opportunity to forget work for awhile and to relax by singing with this group. te A a tm on ettes The eighteen girls in blue and gold robes were a real credit to Braintree High School. They rehearsed earnestly, with Miss Lindsay, many different arrange- ments and songs, and prepared a beauti- ful Christmas Cantata. The music pro- grams over the Brockton radio station, at the dedication of the new Thayer Public Library, and over radio station WJDA were outstanding. These girls from the sophomore, junior, and senior classes were really interested in music and the melodies they produced were a treat for their audiences. The choir also had a special knack of singing popular music. And credit must be given to their accom- panist Roberta Millen. jpqr jr — umi

A memorable event! The annual operet- ta, The Bells of Capistrano, was presented on March 20, 1953 to the delight of every- one who saw it. The theme of the operetta had a gay touch and the voices of all the principals and the chorus members were right in tune! Sometimes rehearsals got a little tiresome but everyone survived to realize that the finished product was worth all their efforts. Miss Lindsay and Miss Thrasher ' s hard work and patience were rewarded when the curtain fell on a very successful production. Mr. Kane, the other class sponsor, certainly worked hard to make the business ends of the operetta meet. On the evening of the performance, everything went smoothly to assure the Class of ' 54 a worthwhile operetta in every way.
