Uffealibe TO BE CONTINUED. CHORUS fa-st The choral experience is more than just learning notes and singing songs. Much as in a wilderness trip, we learn to cooperate, work as a group, listen to each other, and discover the excitement of meeting chal- lenges and accomplishing something difficult together. We learn discipline in diction, vitality in vowels, clarity in consonants, precision in pitch, but also the spiritual joy of creating balanced harmonious music. This is the philosophy of chorus according to Mrs. Holland. Full agendas marked the year for both the Middle and Upper school choruses. They performed in the car- oling assembly on December 16 and on January 6 in the Winter Holiday Program. Their talents were also seen in the Cabaret on March 17. The Upper school chorus attended the Pasadena Poly Choral Festival on December 4 and an adjudicated Fes- tival at San Gabriel High School on May 3. Both chor- uses gave outstanding performances on Grandparents' Day. 186 UIS ChorusfM!S Chorus ref 2 Q 5 s e n L 5 L MIDDLE SCHOOL TALENT.

,-3 Tl-IE WOMEN The Women , performed on February 25, 26, and 27, was a satire of the lives of high society women in the l930's, and was directed by Mary Ellen Agnew-Place and senior Anthony Pearl . The plot centered around Mary Haines, portrayed by Allison Achauer , who learnes of her husband's affair with Crystal Allen I Hannelore Daniel J through her high-society friends. The comical gossip was Anita Morris as Sylvia Fowler. Christine Brockway was quite popular as Countess de Lage. Mary's true and humorous friend, Nancy Blake, was portrayed by Eleanor Hughes . Yvonne Russell played Edith Potter, a pregnant and disillusioned house- wife. These women meddled with a new addition to their gossiping group, Peggy Day C Alexandra Ross J. Michelle Mitchell portrayed Mary's sophisti- cated mother, while Wendy Metzger played Mary's ally, Miriam Aarons. Two hairdressers, portrayed by Krista Danielson and Laura Heinecke , and Olga C Stephanie Gold J were hysterical. Through bridge parties and Michael's hair salon, these women learned of the affairs, divorces, arguments, and schemes in which they were all a part. THE NEXT MARILYN MONROE poses for the cameras.

-eww. N..- IEY, YOU! PAY ATTENTION when Pm gesticulating. Mr. Babcock directs the Drchestra. LACK AND FORTH LIKE THIS. Mr. Babcock and three Village students. THE WINDY SECTION OF CAMPUS. Chris Willoughby and Jeremiah Bruner . MUSIC Mr. Babcock, new to the music department, instructed students in grades 4 through 12, teaching Village students in the morning and Middle and Upper school students during 7th and 8th periods. He also taught music apprecia- tion to freshmen taking the 9th Grade Art Sur- vey. Villagers learned how to play wind and string instruments, while Middle and Upper school students built up their group repertoire and worked as an ensemble. The Upper school string ensemble debuted at the Art Show in November and also performed at the April 13 Art Show. Village, Middle, and Upper school students combined into an orchestra comprised of over 80 students, which played at the Winter Holi- day Program on January 6. On March 17, the Upper school orchestra performed in the Caba- ret, and the Village and Middle school orches- tras played on Grandparents' Day. Mr. Babcock's goal for the younger students is for them to possess the technical skill in order to perform and express with their instruments what they emotionally are feeling inside. The Middle school students learn different styles of playing and gain more control over their instru- ments. However, he has much higher expecta- tions of the Upper school students, believing that they should get a feeling of what it is like to work as professional musicians. 'W M. fn. Instrumental Music 187
