3 J . . opranos an Gatos om me owes ln maintaining o well rounded curriculum, ' Saint Basil's offers many various activities. The largest is the glee club, in it the seniors, iuniors, sophomores, and freshmen all parti- cipate. This organization is one positive proof of S. B. A. school spirit. When rehearsing for the activities of the glee club, each and every member is anxious to report for practice, whether it be for Alumnae Day, Christmas concert, Operetta, or Graduation. During these rehearsals classmates become more ac- quainted with one another, teamwork is promoted, and most of all the students take part in a healthy and enioyable pastime, singing. ' - is 'il' When one mentions the glee club, thoughts of all the S. B. A. students automatically turn to the season of spring and that in turn brings f the operetta. Many are the weeks spent in practice but the hard work is rewarded when Mary Miltz, President opening night arrives. At the end all the voices may be tired, and the girls sorry that the operetta is over, but everyone has that special feeling of satisfaction. Z f Url JUNIOR-SENIOR GLEE CLUB TOP ROW: M, Workun, M.

N The most popular and oldest form of entertainment at S. B. A. is the annual operetta. After many long, tedious sessions practising our parts-be it chorus, dancing, or a leading role-we wonder if all this preparation to make this the best yet is really worth it. However, when the audience applauds our presentation, our fears are dismissed. Each day, strains of music resound through the halls of the school as the choruses practice for the big event. Will we ever iron out those sharps and flats? The dancers have similar problems. Will we ever get in step? In l958, we gave our interpretation of Plain and Fancy, and we assumed the Amish way of life of these plain people. As we ioin our alumnae we become part of a large group all of whom look back with fond memories of operetta days. 87
