Reflections of Ye 'O England Madngal singing, brought to England from Italy in the 16th century', was at first an informal type of private entertainment at the castles and country homes of the landed gentry. LeRoy’s annual Madrigal Dinner this year was held at the LeRoy Methodist church on December 12 and 13. with over 180 attending. Mrs. Pat Woods and helpers prepared the meal, and for the first time, a brass ensemble provided accompanying music for the singers. The 1977-78 Madrigals included R. Munster. B. Hamblin. T.

Sing We A Merry Heart The Music Booster organization, consisting of parents, students, and interested citizens, once again aided the music program at LHS greatly this year. In addition to meeting once a month to discuss the music program, the club contributed financially toward the success of the music department. Selling donuts and coffee at football games and holding a chili supper in March produced enough money to buy musical instruments and a tape recorder for the program. 15

Spring Play SPRINGS into Action April 7 and 8 in the High School Auditorium was the setting for the spring play entitled Plaza Suite. It was a three act comedy taking place in the same suite in the Plaza Hotel. Act I pictured a husband having an affair with his secretary while his wife was slowly but surely finding out. The II Act was a Hollywood cast that showed a young housewife meeting her high school romance who had become a movie star. The III Act dealt with a 40 year old couple and their problem daughter. The problem was she had locked herself in the bathroom and the parents had to coax her out before the wedding. The play cast worked hard for ten weeks to put this play together, but alot of credit should go to Mrs. McManus. She dedicated alot of her free time to make this a successful play. Also. Mr. Newlin. technical director, is to be thanked for his work and time. Act I. (L-R): J. Jackson. C. Reeser. J. Nice. D. O'Rourke. Not pictured E. Robinson Act II. (L-R): J. King, E. Robinson.
