Modern Dancing For the first time in the history of the school, modern dancing is part of the physical education program. Modern dancing is comparatively new, but it is growing in popularity throughout the country, for it has developed to such an extent that profes- sional troupes are touring the country to educate audiences to this new type of dance. ln modern dancing we attempt to express an idea or meaning to the audience through body movement. The first program the class presented was The Juggler of Notre Dame . The group will also present the program of dances for the May festival which will carry out the theme, The Birthday of the lnfantan. Meetings for technique and instruction are held weekly for it is necessary to develop the finer skills through constant practice. Musical Groups 'iMusic washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. The A Cappella Choir, organized in 1936, has been under the direction of Miss Mary Elizabeth Douthat since the spring of l939. Girls' Chorus, also directed by Miss Douthat, was organized in 1939 and has attained great success in progressive harmony. The Choral Club, organized this year, is composed of I6 mixed voices. It is a select group with one weekly rehearsal and both secular and sacred music is sung. Together these music organizations have brought to the students apprec- iation and knowledge of good music and its effect upon the individual.
