As a result of the large number of participants, Glee Club was this year divided into two sections, the Sharps , and the Flats , Naturally these labels are not intended to reflect on the quality of our performances. The convenience resulting from working with a smaller group has given us many concerts and dances. In November, both choruses felt particularly honored to sing in -Sanders Theater with the Radcliffe Choral Society, and the evening was a tremendous success. The entire school also joined in singing its traditional concert with Middlesex and Concord High School in the Concord Armory at the close of the school year.

cuss ommiffas The alleged purpose of House Committee is to serve as a liaison between the boarders and the House faculty, which puts the House Com- mittee member in the nebulous position of a diplomat without diplomatic immunity. QSurely we all know that by definition, a House Com- mittee Member is someone, who after scrupu- lously scolding some poor unfortunate for not wearing slippers, looks down and spies her own bare feet in guilty horror-in other words, a very human paragon of virtuej The House Committee has accomplished its purpose most successfully this year through House Committee meetings held once a week in Miss McBee's room. In these meetings, sug- gestions and questions from the boarders have been ,passed on to the faculty, and, conversely, the faculty has offered suggestions and given commands to the House Committee member. The House Committee this year consisted of a Head of House, and two permanent members from the Senior class, Ann Ingersoll and Diana Wilson, in addition to the approximately three members from each house who are elected each term. The committee members in each house also hold a meeting once a week, primarily to warn wayward boarders about using profanity on the telephone , or to change the bell list. This year's House Committee, presided over by Didette Van Slyck, has done a fine job-no one has caught cold from not wearing slippers, and we can safely assume that the boarders and the House faculty exist in happy peace, a peace interrupted only by the telephone and the rising bell.

Another facet of the Music Department is the Choir, a small group of girls particularly interested in music who meet faithfully once a Week with Miss Loring. The Choir has worked on a repertoire of 16th Century songs. The Ensemble meets with Mr. Brown once a week. A special vote of thanks should go to Miss Loring, for her inspiring leadership, and to Connie, for her amazing efficiency. Separately, both choruses had a full schedule of entertainment. The Flats sang with Groton in November, Andover in February and closed their choral season by entertaining Brooks in April. The Sharps performed with the Bel- mont Hill Glee Club in january, and were hostesses to Exeter in March. In addition, each chorus gave a separate Christmas Concert in the Middlesex Chapel, singing the Bach B Minor Mass, our major accomplishment of the year. J ABBERWO-CKS V. White, C. Adams, C. Wells, A.
