Creation, co-ordination, expression -Orchesis Harem girls Julie Bassett and Carol Marten entertain Haii in Kismet with a typical Arabian dance. Delicate leaps and graceful slides were com- mon techniques of dance interpretation this year as members of Orchesis rehearsed for a variety of programs. First on the agenda was the Christ- mas play, Boy With a Cart, which fittingly began and ended with the antics of bright, jingly punchinellos. Following this was the all-school musical, Kismet, where members became dancing princesses and veiled slave girls. Mr. Burroughs and Miss Raarup aided Orchesis members with choreography, interpretation, and costume de- sign for West Side Story. Staged for the Teach- ers' Convention, this well-known presentation ranged from violent gang fights to the slow, mel- ancholy moments ofthe tinal scene. Girls interested in interpretative dance were encouraged to attend four successive workshops acquainting them with the fundamentals of dance. Prospective members utilized their co-ordination and dance skills by presenting individual dance interpretations for their try-outs, which were iudged by a panel of officers, Katie McMahon, president, Alice French, vice-president, Sue Ben- nett, secretary, and Nancy Dafoe, treasurer.
