CHORAL CLASS OFFICERS Manager LOUISE BOYD LICHTENSTEIN Secretary Trea.rurer ELEANOR Gourn HELEN HANFORD Libmriau.r C lair Offrefzr MARY ESTHIER STILWELL RUTH MAGOR VH PEGGY VANDER VEER NANCY ZINSSER V1 JANE WITHERSPOON V After the ambitious and successful production last year of Mozart's Magic Flute, this was supposed to be Choral Class' year of rest, but it has turned out handsomely! We are giving Dido and Aeneas by Purcell, which the composer originally wrote for a girls' school. Dido is being sung by Marilee Becker and Aeneas by Nancy Zinsser. The production, although small and not so elaborate as the .Magic Flute, promises to equal it in charm. Interest in our Christmas celebration increases as time goes on. This year for the lirst time the A's and Sub-A's assisted us. With the aid of some twenty noble fathers, Choral Class was able to sing a Bach Chorale in its original parts. Twelve Days of Christmas and Down in Yon Forest were sung by Choral Class alone. It is with regret that I give up my heavy duties as manager of Choral Class. I only hope that my successor will enjoy as much as I did, trying to find Miss Elly. She was usually preparing for Assembly, conferring with Miss Carey, teaching the Primaries or Choral V, or at home for lunch. No doubt, teaching music is merry sport! LOUISE LICHTENSTEIN. U91
