The Sweetest Music this Side of Cherry Lane Mr. Timpano and the Dance Band Mum ln the field of music, our school has many, varied activities. Carle Place has been well-entertained by its band, orchestra, and choral groups. During the football season, we stand proudly by as the marching band performs difficult formations with precision, playing all the while. Led by three strutting maiorettes, and resplendent in their green and white uniforms, the band adds spirit and color to these fall games. Throughout the year, the band provides a musical back- ground as we enter and leave assembly each week. Also at times during the year, we rock to the rhythm of our dance band, another section of our music department. They give a beat to some of our dances and to the Ensemble Night where assorted musical groups also perform. This year, for the first time, we had an operetta, The Golden Butterfly. Our orchestra, using the professional score, provided the accompaniment for a number of talented principals as well as a gay chorus. The concerts we have, provide a chance to lean back and listen to the melodic entertainment that our school can provide. The concert band, the orchestra, the combined choruses and the junior high glee club perform appropriate music each year at the Christmas Concert. These some groups also are featured at the Spring Concert, another big event in the music world at Carle Place. The band has had joint con- certs with other bands and guest appearances at other schools. This entire organization is kept green and growing by our junior band. Its members are the future's top musical talent in training. Due recognition should be given to the fine iob of musical entertainment done by this department this past year. ik Musical Comedy Mr. Eugene Timpano

ln November, 1957, the budding thespians of Carle Place High School came into their own, and in the best Carle Place tradition gave an unfor- gettable performance of the Broadway hit, My Sister Eileen . As the story goes, the innocent Eileen and her wiser, older sister, Ruth, were com- pletely unprepared by their small town upbringing to cope with the big city ways and the village characters that surrounded them. Their bewilder- ment added to the overall hilarity that prevailed. The show must go on, and so it did, in spite of a broken toe of one of the stars, Judy Grabel, portray- ing Eileen. We were extremely happy when Judy recovered and performed as well as if nothing had happened. Merrily Mossman, as Ruth, did an excellent iob in both performances. Although slightly wiser than her naive, younger sister, Ruth was easily persuaded by Eileen's piquant charm. Confidence and understanding were both needed in the portrayal of a Greenwich Village landlord. Steve Schlaks filled the bill. For four weeks pre- ceding the first performance, Steve sat in Dr. Xupolos' Greek class trying to observe the Greek characteristics and accent. This he accomplished per- fectly. Richard Winokur was most convincing as a young athlete, better known as Wreck. The strange part with which Richard was confronted was that of male housewife. Due to the many activities of Wreck's wife, he was left to do the woman's work at home. Responsible for the professional polish of the finished product was Miss Elizabeth McDonald. Through her care and guidance our actors traveled the hard road to production with a minimum of dif- ficulty. How dare you?
