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.

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. .

Beginning with a performance for the Senior Play, the ensemble, somewhat reduced in size since last year by the departure of some half-a-dozen senior members, waltzed adroitly through the Northeastern Massachusetts Music Festival and the traditional Spring Concert. The highlight of the season, and perhaps for many years to come, was an invitation to play as a group for the All-State Music Festival in Worcester. Considering the size and youthfulness of the orchestra, this was a signal honor. Several of the members were accepted through individual auditions to play in the All-State Festival with other boys and girls from all over the state. Playing for Senior graduation, its last engagement of the season, successfully rounded out the year for these musicians. Calling themselves the Chansonnettes, eight of the more enthusiastic singers among the girls at Lexington Senior High have organized a double quartet. Choosing several numbers with Mrs. Sandberger’s counsel, they have perfected them by constant rehearsal, their debut being one of the highlights of Parent’s Night on February 8. Some of their favorite songs are “Angry,” ‘Drifting and Dreaming,” ‘Sentimental Journey,”’ and ‘’Sweetheart of Sigma Chi”. Aiming at a barbershop quartet style, they sing in four-part harmony, having plans for joint performances with the boys’ quintet. Second row: V. Cromwell, N. Morse, E. Harris, S. Traver First row: P.
