0 thee I ting—' Notes On Music by Art Wengcl % apidly becoming one of Wisconsin foremost choruses, v the ( -ippcll.i Choir, under the direction of Miss Marian Iiuxtablc. has brought favorable comment from many of the states leading music critics anti musicians. Miss Iiuxtablc lias been working steadily for the past three years to build up music appreciation and interest in choir work at Central. From a rather indifferent group of chorus niemltcrs she has molded them into an ambitious, musical-minded clioir eager to learn with undying interest and enthusiasm the better class of music. By bringing the works of great composers, musicians, vocalists, and choirs before the group, she has steadily built for interest. 'Hie singers feel a certain pride in their concerts. They have learned how the great St. Olaf choir anti the Lawrence College choir sang by discussing, after the performances, the enunciation, phrasing, and shading, Gradually they improved until at the State Teachers convention Mr. Raymond Dvorak, director of the U. of W. band, said, This clioir is one of the best I’ve heard and. in my opinion, they are in the same class with most university choruses. The choir has sung at numerous musical events the past year: the foremost being tlic district “Music Meet” at Pottage, Wisconsin. Here it won first place singing the “Celtic Hymn and “Lost in the Night, a feat making them eligible for the state meet held in Madison on May 28 29. Ruth Rosenau. Central's only solo entry, won first place singing 'Hie Pi| er Peter. Alice Herrington, who planned to sing a solo, was forced to abandon her plans Ixrcausr of a throat ailment.

Manages the Book Exchange, writes books, plans to run a date bureau, and likes to cat sweets. Mr. Stoddard appears a bit frightened, but who wouldn't after reading test papers. Introducing Mk. John Talc Telling Dixon. He knows a story about every event in history and has a romance attached to every character. He's an all-year-round man, teaches l oih summer and winter and writes books in his s|Mrc time. Another sliot—not to be out done by his pupils. Mr. Dixon also appeared all dressed up on Kid's Day. A great outdoor man, who is usually found playing tennis, skiing or sail-lxuting. is hand and orchestra leader. Mr. I.eaov Keosf.. Always on the rush, carrying a brief case with a baton sticking out of the end. and his hat on the back of his head, that’s our man, Klose. From the expression on his face, it looks as if either the band or orchestra is alwnit to enter some com-petition. Fkancjs Chemitt Sillivan—one of the most congenial teachers in the school. Better known as “Sully.” I.ikes boxing, fishing, hunting, and baseball. Thinks Chemistry is one of tin: best subjects in the school, should In- rcapiircd. 'Hunks he’ll change his method of teaching next year. Would like to have charge of a big laboratory. Always interesting to talk with. A theme a day keeps the F's away! Consequently Miss Fierce is kept very busy correcting them as she was when this picture was taken. But she is compensated by the many grads who come back to tell her that these same dreaded themes proved to he their salvation in the university. Candid Sliots
