a winning season on the team and individual levels T A he track team produced a winning season on the team and individual levels. The track team itself finished with a strong 5-2-1 record, while on the individual level, senior Willis Rose broke the state indoor hurdles record. However, as good as their record may seem it was not sufficient to carry the track team to a third G.B.L. championship. Hurt by the loss of seniors last year, the track team started the season slowly, but gradually improved as the season wore on. By the end of the year the team was playing to its full potential, and hopes for the following years looked good. Led by the tri-captains Scott Milliken, Willis Rose, and Marty Giller, the Tornadoes only lost to the traditional powerhouses Peabody and Haverhill. The most exciting meet, against Medford, proved to be the most dissappointing of the season. Malden was leading by a slight margin throughout the meet and seemed destined to win, but when it came down to the end, the relay team lost and Medford gained the tie.

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
