After initial try-outs, rehearsals began early in October for the Christmas Concert, given on December 13 with the Girls' School Glee Club and the Orchestra. The program began with live traditional carols sung by the joint Glee Clubs and the Iunior Glee Club. Next, the Choir and Madrigal Club performed Arise, Ye Servants of the Lord, by Tye. The central point was the performance of three choruses from 40 Mozartis Requiem. The concert was com- pleted by several more carols and a number by the Orchestra. The complete Requiem, by Mozart, was featured at the annual Festival Chorus in Symphony Hall on March 1. The Milton delegation of 35 voices was one of eight participating groups. The chorus was led by Mr. G. VVallace WVoodworth and ac- companied by members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Under Editor Bob Batchelder, ten five-column news issues were pub- lished, the Literary Board continued to put out its three issues, and the Review Issue speaks for itself. The Newspaper received a First Place rating in the Columbia Inter- scholastic Press Association contest. With the five-column paper to contend with, we found that a larger staff was more satisfactory than the previous small board, and consequently, the O 81 B is now the second largest organization in school. A nucleus of men, however, had the jobs of writing headlines and reading proofs, among them Harry Fitzgibbons, Bill Boy- den, Jerry Fiske and Blackie Chapman. The Lit Board coasted to a certain ex- tent each term until the time arrived for a new issue. Then everything became fran- tic, with Managing Editor Bob Twombly bearing most of the burden. Thanks in large part to the Faculty, contributions did manage to come in, and three somewhat morbid issues resulted from bull sessions in Batch's room and Mr. Abellis house. This was a year of high points business- wise. Fritz Schwarz and Ben Williams handled a 584000.00 budget, and a new high in circulation. Mike Robertson and' Harry Eldridge sold enough ads, so that, coupled with the increased circulation, we were able to lower prices on all subscriptions from the previous year.

The con- cert closed with three choruses from L,Al- legro, by Handel. The Choir did not sing often during the fall season, but rehearsals were held for engagements before and after Christmas vacation. Three hymns were sung at the Christmas Chapel Service: Zion Heurs the lVllfl.'fHI16'Il Singing, Lo, How ll Rose Ifer Blooming, and W'l:il1' Slreplzerfls lVl1fCfICl1, with the Madrigal Club. Previ- ously, The Choir and Madrigal Club had performed Tye's Arise, ye Servants of the Lord at the Christmas Clee Club Concert. In April, rehearsals were held more fre- quently in preparation for anthems to be sung in Chapel before the Sunday evening services. At the Service on Graduates Day, the Choir sang Integer Vitae. Palestrinals Aziommus Te was performed before a serv- ice in which the new lighting of the Chapel window was dedicated. Various daring arrangements of the Choir and Madrigal Club were tried in the loft when the series of anthems began on May 2. Successful performances of several numbers, including Domine Jesu by Mo- fkfontinued on Page 719
