From 8:00 to 8:30 every morning in room 104 the MELODY MAK- ERS practiced for various engage- ments, These eighteen students chosen from the A Cappella Choir were directed by Mr. Zehnder. Singing at several churches in the area, the MELODY MAKERS gained experience in harmonizing before they took part in the an- nual Christmas Concert. Between Christmas and the Spring Concert the group took many sentimental journeys to outlying areas to sing for social groups and advertise the name of Lutheran High. Jingle Bells , In that Great Gettin' up Mornin , and Sentimental Jour- ney were three off their favorite numbers. With harmony as their specialty, these musically-minded MELODY MAKERS closed their year by singing at the annual Lutheran High spring concert. Mmic - Zo awww A CAPPELLA CHOIR was well-prepared to perform in 1958-59 due to three impor- tant committees. Bob Goldsworthy as choir president, together with Lyle Becher, vice president, conducted short meetings in which the eighty members decided on cer- tain productions. Marlis Uffelman kept daily attendance and Gayle Stelter handled all money received from audiences and the sale of concert tickets. As Amanda Zeisler, A CAPPELLA CHOIR business manager, arranged various performances, the robe committee, under the supervision of Pat Maier, made sure that everyone was as- signed a blue robe and each girl had a spotless white collar. Music was a very important part of the daily rehearsals in room 104 and who were the girls who passed out the right music? The Librarians, under the direction of Pat Killingsworth.
