Choral Club Susanna Tennant. Scrirflu3-'l'nc.1-Inu: Ann Kleinecht. BIIFINLJT Aliwl1g1r.' Ann Brooke Kirkland, Pierfdenl. 9 1 HE Choral Club, which this year was comprised of sixty-five members, had Mr. Erwin as its director and Mrs. Harvey as its accompanist. Our schedule began early in October when we gave a musical assembly of three or four songs. Our next performance was not until December, when, in collaboration with the Dramatic Club, we provided a musical background, in the form of Gregorian chants and sexeral har- monized Christmas carols, for the tableaux of the annual Christmas Pageant. Our main performance of the year was the joint concert of the Yale Freshman Glee Club with Olll' Choral Club, given this year on March fifth in the auditorium of the Roosevelt School. Following this concert there was a dance in our gym for all the mem- bers of both Glee Clubs. An informal concert and dance with the Pingry School of Elizabeth, New jersey has recently become an annual event. This year the concert and dance were held successfully here at Dwight. Our final performance was given in May, when the Choral Club presented five or six songs at the annual Father-Daughter Dinner. -18

Dramatic Club HIS year, as in the past years, The Dramatic Club worked on three main projetts. The Club was under the able guidance of Mrs. Edwards. The first project was an assembly performance which was pleasantly received. The second and main project was the spring production of Gir- eaudoux's The Madwoman of Chaillotf' The co-operation of The Englewood School for Boys helped us make this play a great'success. In May, members of the club performed at the annual Father-Daughter dinner. The actual production of each of these projects depended upon a committee. Each committee was in charge of a par- ticular aspect of the theater, such as make-up or props. In addition to working on its projects, the Club sent two members to the Englewood School for Boys to play the parts of Calpurnia and Portia in Shakespeare's -lulius Caesar. 47 bally Wfurts, SLl'lLf.HAl.'

HIS year the Choir under the direttion of Mr, Erwin was composed of twenty- four girls thosen from the Choral Club for their ability to sing well in a group. Besides singing with the Choral Club in thapel, at the Pageant, and at the Yale Contert, the Choir sang alone at the Northfield Mid-winter Conference in February and at Commencement in june. ln December, the Choir sang Christmas music for the patients at the Englewood Hospital and sang two of the Pageant numbers on television. In the Spring, the Choir sang at the Mary liisher Home. The hard work has rewarded the group with a year of enjoyable and interesting singing. 49
