LOESJE MENDEL gives thoughtful counsel to Ensemble members. SHARON BARLOW, Nancy Bottoms, Carla Abell, Susan Beeson, and Linda Chapman achieve nice work as they coordinate rehearsal efforts. v of J 36 2 r l Each year, the Girls Ensemble appears in new outfits. This year, due to various delivery troubles, the girls went on a crash shopping spree, and found several yards of hunter green velveteen, and a skeen of lace. While hands and needles flew, the shoe store, delayed at first, came through with dyed green shoes and matching purses. So outfitted, the girls stepped out ready for a successful season. The group was increased to twelve voices this season, and had the direction ofa new instructor, Mrs. J. Loesje Mendel. ' Al Stepping out in green Edwardian jackets and plaid pants with gold shirts and ties to match, the Boys Octette went swinging with their singing. Although coordination is not a requirement for the Octette, it surely helped this year. The nine members used flinging arms, flying legs, and all the tricks of staging to get their messages to the audience. Mr. Earl Shay directed the boys the first semester, and Mr. Moon led them the second semester giving the group excellent opportunity to adopt their new style. Audience response was encouraging.
