.47 f C4, i Nl ,Q V073 Sing! The very mention of the word brings back a Hood of wonderful memories- memories especially dear because We, the Seniors of June '52, all were winners. Yes, both the large number of title copping Iuniors who swelled the ranks of the Senior class, and Seniors on the four year plan won, for to be any part ofa Sing is a prize in itself. It was still early in the Fall term when C. M.'s Commissioner of Recreation, Margie Green, first assured the school that there would be a Sing. When word got lround, Mid- wood's subterranean depths, the cafeteria of course, overflowed with Seniors, Iuniors, Sophs, and Frosh, all eager to choose their particular officials. Amidst tables, chairs, books, and gymsuits, leaders were chosen and Sing got under way. The first job was the lyric committeesi, for it was up to these talented people to choose original themes and write clever songs. Both Iuniors and Seniors tried to be close-moutbed about their plots, but with two such terrific themes the secret was impossible to keep. Iudy Hyman and crew were deeply involved in the Iunior Mystery twelve got to find a cluelj, While Barbara Kravitz and party were busily concocting election slogans fMah friends- and I hope you arelj for their Senior Convention. Lyrics were written at odd times and in strange places. In the back of Mr. Amateau's French class, Ioyce Esersky and other ardent French students composed the catchy words to the Iunior songs. Seniors, being more concerned with courses and college, met at Barbara K's house to compose the hard-hitting punch lines for their colorful candidates. QB. O. Plenty for presidentlj. As Sing time drew near, with rehearsals came a rush of excitement, shouts, tears, and anxiety. Each chorus leader had his share of work. The Seniors, under the expert direction of Gert Modlin and Barbara Kravitz, and assisted instrumentally by Leslie Fleischer, became a convention that was truly bursting out with songf, Ronnie Spinello, conductor of the Iunior Sing, and incidentally the first boy conductor in Midwood's history, aided by Lily-Ann Frank, did a terrific job of leading the tremendous Junior chorus. Accompanied by Phoebe Rothman at the piano, the musical tones took fine shape, Art committees worked feverishly as the Sing date approached. The Seniors produced eyecatching posters-Dagmar, in three dimensionsl, B. O. Plenty and Cecil Bill were Twenly-four
