SUNGS FOR FUN “A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody.’’ This theme song is a new inspiration of the Senior Glee Club under the direction of Mrs. Sandberger and President Joan Dexter. This year the girls prepared for the annual Spring Concert, which featured all chorus groups, and the North Eastern Massachusetts Music Festival which was held here in Lexington. Such songs as the sleepy ‘‘White Swan,’’ the romantic ‘“While We're Young’ and the jolly, happy-go-lucky “Lolly Toodum’’ were among those sung at their regular meetings. Their main purpose was to make good music, achieved by perfect tone and especially the more difficult soft or pianis- simo tone. This choral group’s fine officers, hard-working advisor, and achievement of good music made this one of our largest and most popular groups. Future musical enthusiasts at Lexington High School will be able to emulate the example of the vivacious and hard-working choral group known as the Junior Glee Club. The girls looked forward eagerly this year to performing in the Music Festival and have devoted many hours and much effort to polishing their technique, getting out new songs, and having a wonderfully busy and creative time under Mrs. Sandberger’s inspiration. .

Copithorne TEMPORARILY ESTHETIC This year’s Operetta, Patience, under the direction of Mrs. Sand- berger, presented Gilbert and Sullivan at its best. The Operetta com- menced with the appearance of twenty love-sick maidens, all dying for the love of the poet Bunthorne (Joe Simon). Patience (played by both Sandra Bolter and Ann Rosenberger, but on different nights) was the only exception, and the poet gave his attentions to her. The soldiers, who previously received the twenty maidens’ attentions, strongly disapproved of this cultured man. When another poet, Gros- venoe (Dick Wharton) appeared, he too fell for the charms of the lovely Patience, while the twenty maidens turned their attentions from the first poet, Bunthorne, to this new comer. Lady Jane (played by both Pat Kaleta and Martha Hendrick), the comic character of the operetta, was the only maiden who remained true to poor, for- saken Bunthorne. In the meanwhile the still indignant soldiers and their officers, the major (Ted York), the Duke (Ed Martin), and the Colonel (Alan Engborg), continued to vie for the love of the twenty maidens. Thus the plot and counter plots developed through the operetta, which provided much amusement and interest for the au- dience. After hours of rehearsal and time put in up to the enjoyable finale of another operetta, the cast thanked Mrs. Sandburger for helping ing them again produce such a successful per- formance.

The club owes much to the careful way in which Susan Dunlap and Sandy Butler, the librarians, have carried out their exacting task. The girls are individualists in their choice of music which they interpret with the purity of clear, young voices. Vigor, beauty of tone, and musical range such as theirs are only accomplished by constant practice and persistent interest. The club has become an outstanding organization, and its distinguished perform- ances have been constantly appreciated and warmly applauded. The Boys’ Choir has earned popularity and acclaim, under Mrs. Sandberger’s vigorous baton, by the precision of their rendering of fine music. Though not so large as the other school choruses, they make up in the beautiful style and excellent quality of their singing for their small numbers. That the activities of the Boys’ Choir go smoothly is a tribute to the efficiency of its librarians, Frank Sands and Ernie Stokes. The boys gave generously of their time to the main activities of the year. They performed at the Parents’ Night held at the school on February 8. Also contributing largely to the success of the Annual Spring Con- cert, they ably represented our school at the Northeastern Massachusetts Music Festival, held in Lexington on May 1. They contributed many members to the spirited cast of the much anticipated annual event, the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, the leading singers in “Patience’’ being drawn largely from the Boys’ Choir.
