we GNN Gus 'ffumlile eayee... Melody without music sings throughout CC corridors as the revived A Cappella Choir puts forth their best. The choir composed of 66 girls from the iunior and senior class study under the direction of Sister Mary Sheila. Much time has been devoted to this group who were selected individually from the third and fourth year Glee Clubs. Songs of famous composers are brought to life when the choir shows their ability to sing in a three-part harmony. The fine musical qualities of the chorus were first heard publicly at the St. Cecelia Winter Concert, February 22, when they made their debut singing Give Thanks, Peter Piper, Panis Angelicus, and Wonderful Copenhagen. Music! Music! Music! echoes through the halls of Central each Monday after school, and at noon on Friday as the orchestra members have their assembly in the gymnasium. The 'favorite melodies range from a Sousa march and a waltz medley to a square dance piece and a Polo- vetsian Dance. First Row: E. West, J. Dettenwanger, S. Pulaski. Sec- ond Row: N. Meyer, M.
