concert band Blending talent and interest with newer, more pop¬ ular music, the Concert Band this year achieved an unanticipated degree of recognition. Aside from the annual concerts, the Band also performed in a television program in April. The guidance of Mr. Robert Morrison and the capable leadership of Captain Anthony Blase were effective in producing a rewarding and successful year which will leave a favorable impression on all those who have heard the Band.

dramatic club GER BLASE BOB CASPER FRED CLAYTON BOB DUCKWORTH DAVE FEELEY MIKE GRACE MIKE HAYES MARCO MALANDRA GIL POLSKY STEVE SEDOR BARRY ROSENBERG MR. NORM SHERMAN From late Monday night Dramatic Club meetings came the ideas for such projects as X-rated movies and three act, two hour plays (with real girls). Although these revolutionary attempts never pro¬ gressed to their completed forms, the Dramatic Club did give its audience several finished produc¬ tions. Late in January the slightly delayed Christ¬ mas Play, The Secret Sharer, was given. The story of six British sailors aboard a cargo ship in the Orient found favor with many of the students who were tired with the usual Friday night thrillers. The Spring Play, Bury the Dead, was an anti-war play which hit the Girard stage expressing the feelings of most of its students. The members of the club sincerely appreciate the time and effort Mr. Norman Sherman provided to make rehear¬ sals both enjoyable and productive. — 24 —

Through the past years the choir constantly seemed to be plagued with a communications gap between the director and the choir. This year the gap was bridged because of the fine personality cf the new director Mr. William Riley. Mr. Riley’s constant attempts to improve our Girard Choir should not go unheralded. The members of the Choir were willing to give up their free time, and they worked hard to give better concerts and performances.
