THE SPHINX . . . 1947 MUSIC The music department, under the direction of Miss Santee and Mr. James, has had a very busy and successful year. p The band started things rolling by performing clever stunts at the football games. Aided by the baton twirlers, the band also helped pep up the basketball games. The highlight of the year was the presentation of the musical comedy, Rio Rico. A number of students went on an expedition to search for the hidden Moon Gold's treasure which was on Cocos Isle in the South Seas. The leadership of Miss Santee, the stage settings designed by Mr. James, and the hard work of an excellent cast all helped to make it a beautiful and colorful operetta. The cast included John Ahnert, Elsa Burton, Darlene Oltman, Julia Fisk, Janice Smith, Alice Winefordner, Lloyd Hopper, Dale Leonhart, Dale Weber, Eugene Hawk, Don Meier, Bob Vickroy, James Munson, Arden Wooalrum, and Eldon Weber. Audrey Meier was the accompanist. Other musical events included the annual Christmas program and several assembly programs by both vocal and instrumental groups. Geneseo was host to the solo and ensemble district contest on March 29, and to the district organization contest on April 19. Our school was well represented at both these contests and, as always, made an excellent showing. i Geneseo might well be proud of its orchestra, for it is the only one in this part of the state. The stringed ensemble, also, is quite rarely found in high schools of our size and even larger. But Geneseo is the proud owner of such a group as well as a girls' octet which has always proven its worth at any contest. 22
