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.

Subject matter ranged from the prize-winning topic, Adenauer and Erhard, to Peace Corps. Participants of the two contests were aided by Mr. Goodrich. Bonnie Buchinger, interpreting The Girl Who Made Herself Over, won the humorous declama- tion contest. Other contestants, advised by Mrs. Kenney, included Doris Gresl, who narrated The Strap-Hangers, and Sue Hawley and Cheryl St. John who recited June Night and Dogs that have known me.
