osbourn nightingales A restive audience quieted for a moment as music swelled through the Osbourn auditorium. Had they been subjected to a massive dose of Somenex? This seemed improbable. More likely the students were simply too interested to speak. Osbourn's choral department—concert choir as well as choruses—merits such accolade. Besides possessing beautiful voices, these students knew how to use them. A heavy schedule of concerts kept those Golden Throats primed and local schools enjoyed their Osbourn visitors. The choral people also performed at Saint Paul's Cathedral in D.C., the District Festival, the Evergreen Country Club, and at an Easter Sunrise Service. Osbourn students applauded vigorously when the Virginia High School Concert Choir joined their Osbourn colleagues for a melodious hour. All-State ushered in an Osbourn winner—Doug Rhodes '72—and awarded prizes to other members of the group. As a final triumph, the concert Wantu Wazuri in May ended the year for the Osbourn Choral Department. n

a lion's share of work Officers from left to right: Mary F. Marshall, Margie Heflin, lulie Brown, Pam Bridges, Donna Fletcher, and Joan Rice. Say Cheese ! Apathy proved no problem for the Lionettes. A continual flurry of community activities kept this close-knit group very busy. Among their seasonal projects was a Halloween party for the Didlake students, a Mr. Turkey Drive , and a Christmas toy basket. Primarily intended as a service group, these girls accordingly spent several Saturdays helping out the tuberculosis clinic. Their activity most familiar to Osbourn students was the ice cream stand in the lunchroom. In addition, the Lionettes scraped up $200 with the aid of two bake sales and awarded it to an outstanding senior. Although a small group, the Lionettes certainly added a mountain of spirit to Osbourn. 24 Enthusiasm plus!
