Members of the glee clubs and mixed chorus bade reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic farewell for a day, March 13, and boarded buses marked Oklahoma City. Seventy-five Marquetters ioined voices with Catholic school students from all over the state, to present a public concert at Catholic High in the evening. The massed chorus rehearsed four hours during the afternoon under the direction of Mr. Gerald Whitney of the Tulsa Opera. Tired backs and hard travel were forgotten when the youths, eight hundred strong, felt the pulsing of the Battle Hymn of the Re- public, Oklahoma and such spiritual numbers as Listen to the Lambs and The Cherubim Song. From amateur numbers of- fered by each school, three were selected to be presented with the choral numbers during the evening performance. Roberta McKinney, accompanist from Marquette, was asked to ploy her accordion number, Jolly Caballero. Climaxing a year of hard work, the choral group entertained their families and friends with a concert at Marquette Hall, April 13, under the direction of Sister Mary Bernadine. Barbara Komma and Maureen Frazier Cstand- ingl make a last minute check of accom- paniments with Roberta McKinney iseatedl before the spring concert. These girls share the work of accompanying with Alice Searle Cnot picture-dl.
