THE BLUE AND WHITE Q4-saeaea-as-za-5-1-Laeavaeegeaeeaavae-5 exnangaesaeaavaugeexnae-ga aux-vxnxuae H is without doubt one of the outstanding members of the school and faculty. She is an accomplished pianist and cellist. Her chorus classes acclaim her charming singing, which they hear all too rarely. But above all she is a teacher. Through her splendid work as our music director, she has brought fame to Classical High School. Her tireless efforts to bring untrained voices to a high degree of perfection have won the admiration of people from all walks of life. She directs two choruses, the glee clubs, and orchestra besides teaching music appreciation. The total number of students that come under her care is over seven hundred and fifty, two thirds of all the students in the school. The prodigious effort which one teacher must make to instruct adequately such a large number of pupils is nothing short of miraculous. What means most to her, as Miss Clark herself says, is the effect of the oratorios and glee clubs upon the students' minds. Since she has started her musical work here, her offerings have stimulated both students and others to a deeper interest in, and a more sincere appreciation of, fine music. It is with pride that we name the various major productions which Miss Clark has directed. The dramatic performances given under her direction include Gilbert and Sullivan's light opera L'Patiencey', Wagner's L'Lohengrin , Balfe's opera Wldhe Bohemian Girl , and Elotoufs grand opera HMartha , Four oratorios in the past six years have been produced by her. They are Elijah , by Mendelssohnj Haydn's MCreation ,' Verdi's Requiem , and King Olaf , by Elgar. The HRequiem and Elijah were repeated in response to overwhelming popular requests. In addition to these activities, Miss Clark conducts the Christmas Assembly, which has become an outstanding feature of Classical's annual program. There have been many tributes heaped upon Miss Clark by critics of other musical centers, and her artistry in handling large choral groups has been admired by music leaders throughout the country. Her untiring ejtorts and her keen insight into youthful minds explain in part her present prominence. It is, therefore, with a deep sense of gratitude and homage that we dedicate the Blue and VVhite to her.
