 PROGRAMS ENTERTAINING Poised and ready, organist Russell Patterson practices his selection for the Concert Choir's assembly. Upper Left: Lithe limbs of the Gymnastic Club balance gracefully during the talent show. Increased interest for all grade levels of students was generated by many of the new, innovative antrim programs. Although the themes of the assemblies remained basically in music and natural sciences, improved presentations kept the students more attentive. One such program, the Dominicus Five, was an excellent performance by part of the Philadelphia Naval District Band. Another musical program enjoyed by the students was a piano concert by Arnold Bodner. A European pianist of national renown, Mr. Bodner entertained all four classes with his performance entitled From Bach to Rock. Also winning the approval of the student body was a Student Government presentation of three short films featuring The Three Stooges, W. C. Fields, and The Little Rascals. Standing out, however, as perhaps the best program was the talent show. Featuring students from every grade, the program allowed artistically accomplished pupils to display their special talents. Everyone enjoys seeing and hearing their peers perform, said Sue Wuchter, and it was a great program. I Honestly Love You, sings talented junior Tamara McCartt.
