ll I 1 Who needs a chorus, anyway? So what if there are no faculty? A building? Organization? Hey, Mr. Sproull, tell your boss that something is wrong at Eastman. How can anything be wrong at Eastman? There hasn't been a riot. ' Mr. Penderecki had a nice, pleasant time at Eastman. Doesn't anybody know the score besides Penderecki ? Don't worry, it's one o' dem modernistic tings so nobody's gon- na know da difference. What's that rock band doing on the stage? Guess what! We're doing Mahler's First Symphony l Gee, what a surprise. If we try, maybe we can do it worse than the last time. ll ll '.'Hey Mr. Sproull, tell your boss that Eastman isn't happy. Eastman?lll l haven't anything from Eastman since I've been here. Now, kiddies, remember: THIS IS NEW YORK CITYH!! Walk fast. Don't talk to strangers. Stay away from 42nd street. Don't spend all your money all at once. Keep a tight hold of your candy hearts. And Bruce must go straight to bed without his supper for being naughty with the candy hearts on his bus Hey, Mr. Sproull, there's an Eastman School in the University. Nota chance.

A ...4 As tense as we all were about performing in New York City, the trip to the City did have its benefits. Despite the tiring bus ride, we all tried out New York's night life Monday. For most that meant the New York Phil- harmonic, or the Cleveland Orchestra and the rest of us were scattered between the Radio City show, Broadway play or the Tully Hall recital. For some of the orchestra Tuesday mornings rehearsal was their first experi- ence playing in Carnegie Hall and even for those fortunate enough to have played before in the Hall, there was general anticipation about performing there. With the afternoon free, the orchestra invaded Ciardinellis, Patelson's, Schirmer's, Wurlitzers, Macy's, Sak's Fifth Avenue, Empire State Build- ing, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, 42nd Street and any other points of interest that could be reached. Sore feet abounded. Far away from dorm cuisine, the orchestra wined and dined itself on French, German, Chinese, and other gourmet delights. Tension abounded but fortunately the concert went fairly well and the orchestra with its worries behind it for the moment didn't waste any time getting to the reception. Being a typical University of Rochester reception we all had a good time and with a little help from each other we all made it back to our rooms. The bus ride back was noticeably quieter and soon found us back in Rochester after two day of expensive living. Penderec ki receives Honorary Doctorate 71 F
