combined glee clubs produce gilbe Producing Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Pen- zance was only a dream of Miss Ruth Leah Ogden, director, until last spring when the combined Boys' and Girls, Glee Clubs thrilled audiences with this famous English operetta. David Moore, a junior, and Bobbie June Nowlin, a senior and also a new personality at MHS this year, played Frederick and Mabel, the romantic leads. Other major characters in the cast included the English major general, Bill Adamsg the pirate king, Mark Goodwin, his lieutenant, Paul Molzahn, the piratical maid of all work, Mary Louise Danielg sergeant of the police, J. E. Elrodg and three of Mabel's sisters: Kate, Ann Sayre, Edith, Helen Copeland, Isabel, Prilla Glover. The remaining members of the cast made up the chorus of daughters, the wards, the pirates, and the policemen. The Mixed Choir, a new choral group which was made possible by the organization of the Boys Glee Club, walked away from the District Music Festival proudly boasting a superior rating. The Girls' Glee Club and the A Capella Choir were rated as superior groups in both District and State last year and, therefore, were not compelled to go back to the District Festival in order to participate in the State Fes- tival. The A Capella Choir also had the honor of being the only choral group in the entire state to be given a superior plus rating. The Glee Club received another honor when six of its members-Mackie Nolen, Bill Adams, Paul Molzahn, Prilla Glover, Mary Jo Thomas, and Mary Louise Daniel -were chosen to represent the club in the All State Chorus. Always directed by someone outstanding in the field of music, this year it was under the supervision of Dr. Lara Hoggard, who is affiliated with Fred Waring. Energetic Officers of the Girls Glee Club find that cedar, silvered pine cones, and Christmas ornaments offer attractive decorations for the annual Christmas concert. In the foreground, Polly Simmons, secretary, helps Margaret Combs, accompanist, hang an ornament. Betty Jane McKinney, vice-president, smiles as Gerry Ramsey, treasurer, tries to find a place for a pine cone. Mary Louise Daniel, student director. looks on while, in the background, Joyce Dunaway, assistant accompanist, and Nancy Shannon, president, hang Christmas ornaments. 16 7,7 X mfr Y N 'W' X F A . :W H-4lhv..'
