The Glee Club Standing left to right: Virginia Sohnly, Norma Grace Hertzfeld, Grace Schroeder. Seated: Anne Marie Smith. Melodious tunes can be heard from the third floor of St. Angela Hall every Monday and W6idl1CS- day afternoon While thc Mary Manse Glee Club diligently rehearses for its next program. With Miss Thompson as director and Anne Marie Smith as accompanist, the Glee Club provides enjoyable music for the student body and its friends. Many delightful programs were presented throughout the year, but probably the most enjoyable was the Christmas concert. Filled with the holiday spirit and gaily adorned with perky red bows upon their academic gowns, the singers inspired their audience with carols and hymns which lingered in the air long after the curtain had dropped upon the treelit, candlelit stage. Joy in the Resurrection was expressed in hymns and alleluias at the Easter assembly, while the turning of tl1e tassels was accompanied by the Glee Clubis songs on Class Day. Specialty numbers took a smiling bow when visiting high school seniors were entertained on High School Day. Under the musical leadership of their officers: Anne Marie Smith, Grace Schroeder, Virginia Sohnly, and Norma Grace Hertzfeld, members increase their appreciation for good music and its effective, enjoyable presentation. 65

The Art Club Standing left to right: Marilyn Culker, Jean Fitz, Claramac Linenkugel. Seated: Leona Pauken. The Art Club has long been one of the most popular and important clubs at Mary Manse. This year, under the guidance of the faculty advisor, Sr. Veronica, and the president, Leona Pauken. their activities proved to be entertaining as well as instructive. ln addition to trips to the Art Museum, the club sponsors a trip each year to our Cathedral to explain and appreciate the lovely statues, paintings, and style of architecture. Now that the Art Department is firmly established in the Annex, its members have an oppor- tunity to display their work to full advantage. Of special interest at the annual tea and exhibition in the Art Department, was the ceramics display, part of which was later offered for sale just in time for Christmas presents. And those delicious cookies! All agreed it was a most delightful tea. The annual assembly provided us with Z1 very interesting and amusing play. Who knows? Perhaps one day we shall see these actors on Broadway. 64

The Orchestra 5552352 s Standing: Vera Morrison. Seated: Betty Buescher, Patricia Carstensen. With a ripple of keys and a faint Nplick, plickw of a string, the Mary Manse Orchestra prepares itself to render those smooth, polished notes so well played and always so much enjoyed. To the clownbeat of Miss Thompson's baton, the strings, woodwincls. brasses, and percussion harmonize their. respective talents on great composers, popular as well as classical. Opening night of Pride and Prejudice saw the orchestra at its usual sparkling best. The audi- torium was lloodecl with vibrant music while the audience relaxed between hilarious scenes of the mid-term play. Commencement, too. could not have been complete without the orchestra's solemn reminder that the class of 'fl-8, marching upon the stage, was about to join the long line of alumnae members. Betty liuescher servccl as capable president, while Vera Morrison, as vice-president, and Pat Carstensen, as secretary-treasurer, completed the executive department of the orchestra. 66
