Flower-like pastels stemmed the curly locks of happy choristers who wove an enchantment on their appreciative audience who reacted to their various moods. The Ita1ian Street Song glittered and sparkled through the selections of the Victor Herbert Favorites. The advanced choral group triumphed in their rendition of these three favo- rites, Waters of Minnetonka, Spring Song, and Cherubic Hymn. Most unique on the program was the Spring Song that danced like colonial ladies swaying in a Southern ball- room. The Freshman too had their part with the tum-tum-tum of the Wooden So1diers, The Little Dustrnan, and The Orches- tra. Not to be outdone the orchestra performed magnificently with the following repertoire: Connecticut March, Star Dust, Poupee Valsante, King Hose Overture, In a Persian Mar- ket, Because, and the unanimously decided favorite, Ma1aguena.

Turning the tables for a moment of relaxation, it is clearly shown that there's many a slip 'twixt cup and lip, when the Hostess Club don their Sunday best to enjoy a tea test. Serving at banquets held by various clubs in the school, the girls deserve a time out for they are busy as bees. Under the cheerful guidance of Sister Clare Ioseph O.P., the club has risen from its first introduc- tion at Aquinas, to the height ot a well established department. Always pre- pared and rarin' to go, who wouldn't want to be served by these congenial, well-trained Hostesses?--Patty McHugh. 73

is .L Then sing, girlsfand the juniors and seniors raise their voices in the Advanced Choral Group every day during seventh period. During the year the Orchestra and Choral unite in song and music in order to provide a gala evening for participators and listeners. Aquinites will long remember after their graduation the fun and hard Work entailed to make this an enjoyable year for both Sister and the Choristers. The Choral Department offers a golden opportunity for voice development and vocal culture which enables girls of varying de- grees ot vocal attainments to undertake not only the larger Works of dignity and charm but also lighter numbers, bubbling with melody and harmonious gaiety. Thus may An Aquinas Chorister truly boast4 My language is understood by the whole World. Nancy Fisher 75
