CLEE CLUB President: Russel H. Goddard Vice-President: Dean W. Harrison Secretary: William C. Ellis Adviser: Mr. Landers Although the first group of tryouts for the Glee Club was rather unsuccessful, the final list included some very talented singers, who gave promise of a successful season. As was the case last year, the pro- gram included seven concerts. One of the numerous troubles encountered at the early Christmas concert with Dana Hall was lack of vocal technique, but during the winter term they attained the high level of performance for which former Exeter Glee Clubs have been noted. After the first concert with Dana, the club invaded Abbot to give the best per- 1950 CLEE CLUB formance of the winter term. Among the pieces done there were jesu, joy of Man's Desiringng a ballad, I Wonder as l Wan- der , a selection from the Beggar's Opera, Fill Every Glass With Wine , and portions of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, lolanthe. The term ended in joint concerts with Rogers Hall and Beaver Country Day School. The spring term was a difficult one for the Glee Club, as there were three concerts scheduled in an eight day period. Following a concert with Walnut Hill, the club made its usual trip to the New England Festival. Willard Pelletier of the Metropolitan Opera directed the concert and gave everyone a chance to see a distinguished conductor. The glee clubs were accompanied by the Boston Symphony Orchestra which played at its usual level of excellence. Due credit must be given to Mr. Landers who built up a good glee club from poor material. Allen Cogan Gage Hartwell LaFolIette S. Phelps Stahr D. E. Baker C.

MUSIC Q. Q A L CHOIR First Row: 1. Beer, Ellis, Harrison, Dwight, Mr. Landers, R, S, Reynolds, P. E. jones, Goddard, Stahr, Second Row: F. Baker, Waite, D. Rice, Bolster, Ross, Bullard, Danforth, Gumaer. Third Row: Register, Herdman, Ward, K. Zener, C. W. Wilson, Hagerman, Schlaikjer, Forbes, Clifford, Flagler. CHOIR Leader: Russell S. Reynolds Director: Mr. Landers This year the choir has been greatly appreciated-mostly, perhaps, by its mem- bers. The average student does not realize, it seems, that much effort and talent goes into the rendition of the three Amens and the anthems each Sunday. The Christmas vesper service, last December, was the choir's best work. The service received, and deserved, much praise, Under the patient and able direction of lvlr. Landers the choir has made great progress. lt has now achieved both good harmony and ap- propriate style. Inspired by a buffet supper with Bradford girls, a beach party, the wit of Mike Cumaer, the vibratto of Ezio Cage. and Mr. Landers' knowing smiles, the choir continues to be one of Exeter's leading extra-curricular activities. ORCH ESTRA Librarian: Karl Zener Adviser: Mr. Landers The little white baton directed twenty- eight boys this year in an orchestra of aver- age talent. The assistance of lvlessrs. Ko- bialka, Sirois, and Cropp helped to make the orchestra a great success in its six con- certs. Sam Pottle, concert master, led a strong string section, which was supported by a lively woodwind section. The highlight of the season came with lim Suits's solo in Von Weber's Concer- tina for clarinet. With two rehearsals a week, the orchestra also mastered such works as the first movement of Beethoven's Sixth Symphony, a selection of themes from Bizet's Carmen, a suite by Lully, and the Overture to the Suite No. 2 for Strings, by Bach.

Eglflfliiwf 3 P. E. A. ORCHESTRA 1949-50 THE ROYAL EXONIANS THE BAND Leader: Philip Drinker Adviser: Mr. Sirois The band opened its season at the third football game and played during the re- maining ones, but it was rained out several times. Although the band was bigger this ROYAL EXONIANS Leader: james C. Suits Adviser: Mr. Landers The Royal Exonians were fourteen strong this year, boasting three violins, four saxes, three brasses, piano, bass, guitar, and drums. Its repertoire consisted mainly of old favorites with a scat- tering of the more sane modern numbers and a touch of South American rhythms. The band was led by lim Suits, who manned the alto sax and clarinet. New faces, new style, and new pieces sparked Nineteen - fifty's Royal Exonians. s' year than it was last year, it still looked very small next to the Andover forces. To stimulate interest in the band this year Mr. Saltonstall gave a banquet for the marchers. The Friday before the Andover game, the band played in chapel and was well re- ceived. ln the winter term, members were outfitted for the spring term with white ducks. iiosi
