This is one of the most active groups on campus, for it participates in the weekly chapel services on Sunday. The Choir also presents various Musical Vespers, the most impressive being the Christmas Candlelight Service on the night before Christmas vacation. This year the school awarded recognitions to a number of the boys who have actively participated in the organ ization for two years. They were: Mac Burns Martin, John Repko, Richard Bond, Arnold Taub, Steve Sztybel, and George Schnitger. During the year, the Choir participated in the Methodist Dollars for Christ fund drive by singing at the various district rallies throughout the state. Also, the Choir sang at the Pennington Methodist Church on their annual Pen- nington School Day. The officers this year are Randy Holt, Deang Mac Burns Martin, Sub-Deang and Richard Bond, Librarian. John Repko, Music Secretary to Doc Rarich for both Choir and Glee Club. 67

When Mr. Liefeld came to the School in September, he immediately made the library a place of value it had not been before. Soon after he had established a proper respect in the students for the library and its books, he set out to make the library truly a place for the students. Thus did the Library Council arise. Cer tain of the seniors were invited to manage the library for one night a week. Most of the boys are earnest students, and will not let such duties detract from their studies. The members of the council have full disciplinary powers, and so, were chosen on the basis of their sense of fairness, maturity and temperament. We are sure that this system has worked well, and that it will someday be one of the most envied honors in the school. 66

This year, the students showed an added interest which helped it to be one of the finest the school has ever seen. As in years previous, the presentation has been very formal, but with the cooperation of members a less formal form of musicale was presented. Perhaps the two most memorable performances given by the Glee Club were the Christmas Candlelight Service and the annual Left to Right: Dr. Ranch, R. Bond, R. canon, J. Repko, M. Mar- Mid-Y2af,M11SiC?1e- The Qhfisfmas Sefifice tin. was combined with the choir to give a richer and more enjoyable program. The Glee Club has gained the respect which it duly deserves. The main objective of this club is to give vocal performances which would enlighten and enrich the stu- dent body. With the combined efforts of Doc and his club, they tried to meet this objective. We think they have done just that, and possibly even more. The most select group on campus, the Quartet, is one of which our school can be proud. Singing in close harmony, they have added an invaluable extra point of interest to our musical programs. If there are those who feel that the Quartet is something just a little special, they certainly have ample justifi- cation for their opinion. 68
