Gaudre- MEMORIE Linda Larson, Meredith Roblee, Margie Gaudreault, Shirley Olson, Mar- ilyn Nelson, and Leora Rippen represented Gothenburg at the All-State Music Clinic held in Scottsbluff November l6, l7, and 18, 1950. Under the direction of Noble Cain, eminent choral director, the first annual Gothenburg Choral Clinic was conducted December 7, l95O. Over 300 students from eleven different schools in the surrounding vicinity took part in the clinic. Rehearsals during the day prepared the group for the public concert which they presented that evening. A capacity crowd filled the auditorium, and the proceeds from the concert went to the piano fund. A hush fell over the audience. Out of the darkness floated voices blended in Christmas Carols. The curtains parted, revealing a simulated stained glass window bearing a picture of the Virgin Mary and Christ Child. This church-like atmosphere furnished the background for the Christmas Concert, December l9, l95O. The mixed chorus, girls' glee, boys' quartet, and triple trio participated in the program. Featured soloists were Miss Ruth Owen, grade school music instructor, and Mr. Jim Craven, a student at Doane College.

Stevens, February 28, 1951, the vocal music department presented a dude ranch operetta. ln the opening scene, two cowhands, portrayed by Allyn Chambers and Jearold Nickerson, were trying to hit upon a scheme that would enable them to make a living more easily. They decided to convert their ranch into a vacation spot for dudes. They fell asleep, and the re- mainder of the operetta was their dream about the troubles they encountered on the ranch, and the vacationers who stayed there. Miss Mary, the leading lady, was characterized by Ema Jayne Norsworthv. Marcia Zorn played op- posite Allyn. Other members of the cast were Marian Sall, Margie Gaud- reault, Delores Bailey, Linda Larson, Meredith Roblee. and Raymond Fox, Worthy of note is the tact that Mr. Cogqins composed seven songs tor the operetta, and transcribed all the dialociue.
