Choruses have a busy year Fall, for the Roosevelt choruses, under the direction of Mr. Delbert Schiebel, was filled with performances outside the school. Shows by the Con- cert Chorus, Roosevelt Singers, and Swing Choir included the Rotary Club, the Downtown Kiwanas Club, and Hyperion Country Club. The Concert Chorus was involved in an entire service at New Christian Church. Roosevelt extends its congratulations to Cindy Selzer, Natalie Fobes, Jeff Mosher, Joel Mosher,and Quentin Childs who were involved in All State Chorus under the direction of Dr. Howard Swan of U.C.L.A. Spring brought on new challenges. Many chorus members were involved in the Roosevelt production of Pajama Game . Then the Spring Solo and Small Ensemble brought 1 ratings to Roosevelt students Quentin Childs, Joel Mosher, the Girl ' s Sextet, and the Boy ' s Quartet. This spring the choruses also performed at the neighboring Junior High Schools. The highlight of the spring concert was Joseph Haydn ' s Missa Sancti Nicolai performed by the Concert Chorus, two quartets, and a soprano soloist. Selections by all five of the cho- ruses made up the rest of the concert.

After hours of discussion and ex- perimentation of ideas, the Mimes are prepared to appear before a wide variety of audiences. This year their perfor- mances were presented at elementary schools, fraternal organizations, women ' s clubs, nursing homes, banquets, the Iowa State Fair, and Roosevelt ' s man-of- the-year assembly. Sounds of Silence climaxed their school year, May 18, with 90 minutes of pantomimes inter- spersed with three one-act skits. Black grease paint drawn in fine lines over clown white make-up, multi-colored shirts, and black tights and trunks not only enhanced their performances, but helped them to lose their identities so that they could transform into any character required. Also, their costumes added uniformity to the troupe, but each still retained his or her own individuality through a different pastel-colored shirt worn by each Mime. Our make-up seems to fascinate children more than our 25 minute per- formances, commented Master Mime Jenny Cochran. The grade school kids always inquire about what the clown white feels like. One show we told them it felt like a cross between Crisco and peanut butter, and a boy from the back of the auditorium yelled, ' Is it chunky or smooth? ' Approximately a week before Senior Frolics, Mime tryoutsare held. Two days of clinics are offered where the 13 mem- bers teach some of the techniques of pantomime. Then, after two more days of judging improvisational and prepared two minute pantomimes, they attempt to discreetly choose those who appear to have the most outstanding originality, imagination, and mime techniques. Mimes, from left to right, on the ground: Kathy Jones, Mike Sandler, Duncan Moore, Val Russell, Jeff Wills, Jenny Cochran, Sue Moehl. On the roof: Michael Harris, Diane Dungan, Jeff Mosher, Katy Horning, Jan Angier, Lynn Hopkins. 21
