Fine arts inspire clubs Concert, play, and symphony are three words which constitute the basis of Conplayphony, one of Seaholm's most distinguished clubs. A sincere interest in the fine arts is compulsory for membership in this club. Con- playphony stresses the appreciation of the arts from an educational standpoint. Among the performances at- tended were Porgy and Bess, Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and the Detroit Symphony. Reams of paper and an assortment of dull pencils are the waste products of Scribblers' creative writings. In an attempt to improve individual writing style and technique, Scribblers Club welcomes criticism from its members as well as from their advisers, Miss Heystek and Mrs. Blunt. Making that all important call for tickets to Porgy and Bess is Carolyn LeVan with Donna Schwab, Patty Mason, and Kathy Hine ready to give directions and jot down notes. P Learning to skim a book under Miss Heystek's direction are Peg Lourie, Mike Morden, Mary McCarthy, Bill Race, Kaye Clohset, Barb Oyen. Joe McPhee, Miss Heystek, Donn Gore, Meta Reynolds, Carolyn Rosenberger, Carol King, Katy Weinrich, Jim Bryan, Chuck Darling, Carol Suydam, jane Thompson, and Margo Grahn. Y ---.,9.,,,
