Vocal Music The vocal music department was under new supervision this year. The new head of the music department is Mr. LaCivita. The vocal music department is divided into three groups. They are the Mixed Chorus, the Boys' Chorus, and the Girls' Chorus. There was also an Ensemble at the beginning of the year. The Mixed Chorus and the Ensemble sang for the October P. T. A. meeting. A successful operetta was held on April 17, 1953. The name of the operetta was Chonita . It was a story about a gypsy girl who had just become 18 and who was now entitled to take over the gypsy tribe because her father was the leader of it. But when her mother had died years back her father had promised her mother that before Chonita took over the tribe she would live with her relatives in Hungary who were of the aristocratic class and see which life she liked best. Her lover in the gypsy tribe is Stefan. When she goes to live in Hungary though, her cousin Konrad ffalls in love with her. There is a time when you wonder which life she picks but it ends up that she goes back to the gypsy tribe with Stefan. There were gay songs and romantic songs in this wonderful operetta and also a gypsy dance. The whole Mixed Chorus participated and had a good time putting it on.
