V CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Converse Square along Main Street. Malden Center attracted many people who ran low on food, short on tempers and had contracted cabin fever during the snowbound days in February. Eastern Massachusetts was declared a national disaster area. National Guardsmen were pressed into duty to remove snow, direct traffic and help the stranded. National Guardsmen were an unusual and for some frightening sight patrolling the streets and turning cars back at entrances to the city until Monday night. Salem Street in front of old Malden High was still covered with snow four days after the storm but many people ventured into the cold sharing the streets with occasional emergency vehicles. - storm of ' 78 23

The string section of the orchestra during a seventh period instruction session. music clubs Choral Arts is not one of the more typical classes within school. The average student believes that Choral Arts is an easy credit, and the only prerequisite to the course is to have the ability to sing. There is a lot more to it, starting with a bewildering schedule of rehearsals and concerts. There are three Choral Arts classes and one club, Madrigal. Treble Clef is for sophomore girls; junior and senior girls form Chamber Singers; Concert Choir consists of male and female singers. Under the direction of John Haeussler, their repetoire contains popular music from “Morning Has Broken” to more traditional selections like “Battle Humn of the Republic”. Madrigal, the most selective of the musical groups was most active in concert just before Christmas. Their more traditional a cappella repetoire was greatly expanded this year. In April the Choral Arts Society took part in an exhange with Paramis High, Paramis, New Jersey. To pay for the costs of the exchange concert, chorus members sold patrons and ads. Patrons received a bumper sticker which read, “Harmony is an Exchange”. The stickers could be seen on cars around the city and lockers of Choral Arts members. The classroom for Choral Arts is the Jenkins stage and the choral classes had to do their own bit of coping this year. The stage would be at times occupied by electricians working on the lights, or workmen backstage. At times like these, the Choral Arts members were forced to have class in the auditorium, amidst drilling, flashing lights or terrible odors. During the two weeks of the painting of the auditorium, classes were displaced to the Music Room. Yet, through these inconveniences, the Choral Arts Society managed to survive. music 25
