Small Musical Units Entertain Widely Mishawaka High School is very proud of the tradition in good music set by the music depart- ment. However, this year the music department had the same difficulty as did all other extra curricular activities in holding its best students. This problem was partly solved by scheduling ir- regular rehearsals and having ensembles play all outside per- formances such as banquets, teas, and club programs. In order to maintain an or- chestra with full instrumentation, Miss Hackett was forced to call noon rehearsals each week. This enabled students who had to carry full schedules to play in the orchestra. The string ensemble played ap- proximately 45 programs through- out the year, besides their regular monthly date with the Fellowship Club. Hazel Johnson and Violet Gulyanics play violin, Betty Lemler and Elsie Gulyanics play cello and Miss Hackett plays the accompaniment. This year the girls’ double sextette also suffered a shortage. There were only eleven girls in- stead of the usual twelve. Another irregularity in the vocal depart- ment was the admittance of. a few sophomores and a freshman to the choir. Members of the sextette are: Attea Bronzetti, Dorothy Burgess, LaVaughn Coil, Janan Groff, Mary Jane Johnson, Cecelia Herrold, Betty Rudduck, Jan ice Schmidt, Norma Stanton, Jean Wedsworth, Woodward. and Nancy Up.

Visitors for miles around have come each year for eight years to hear the Vesper service. Against a background of lighted candles and the rose window, the choir has sung some familiar carols and each year added others written during the early centuries. 138 vocal students participated in the spring Music Festival. The climax of the program was Noble Cain’s ‘“‘Ode to America’’, with orchestral accompaniment. Solo- ists were Wilbur Dornsife, Marge Hupp, James Otterstein, and John Weis.
