The chorus meets three times a week. Since the class period has been extended to an hour, Mrs. Paulsen incorporated in the class period a course in the fundamentals of music. At Christmas time, chorus presented a Twili ht Musicale which told the story of the lgativity in song and pantomime. Instead of presenting the program from the stage, the scene was placed in the middle of the g nasium floor with the audience seated,-Tn the bleachers and chairs. The scene was lighted by candles held by the high school and glrade school choruses seated in back of t e scene. A field trip was taken in March to see the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Gondoliers, presented at the Lyon's Township High School in La Grange. The Music Department added another member to its family this year, namely the Boys' Chorus. This group was form- ed primarily b the boys from the Music Appreciation cliass whose interests went beyond the regular class room period. This group's picture appears below. ROW I: J. Vanek, D.

Farr, OPCA Q6 ffa Under the direction of Mrs. Paul- sen, the orchestra has been playin semi-classical music as well as folk and popular songs. The music room is really in full swing when orchestra and chorus get together once a week. Our first big production was the Christmas Musicale which we pre- sented on Dec. 21, 1952. We also played for numerous school functions and between acts of the Junior and Senior plays. The Music Appreciation class has had a very busy year. Most of their time has been spent listening to rec- ords from famous operettas, on which tests usually followed. Mrs. Paulsen has also furnished the class with books which produced some very interesting tests. One of the projects that the music class undertook was to make the scen- ery for their operetta. Everyone who took the course en- joyed it immensely and now probably have a greater interest in classical music. ROW I: I. Ludes, M. Nagel, D. Cooper, N. Orr. I. Tomlinson, ROW 211. Golias, S.
