A Cappela Choir Tick, tock, tick, tock, goes the clock. Ticking away the precious minutes of the only period the A Cappella Choir has to practice. Despite this short practice period, however, the Choir has done exceptionally well under the able direction of Mrs. Wellman. We don’t expect our names to go in the Hall of Fame but.... We had a grand time at the two parties we had this year; in the fall of 1942 we had our annual initiation of the new members of the A Cappella Choir. The other was a Christmas party, held at Mrs. Wellman’s home where gifts from bubble bath to sock dolls were exchanged. There are thirty-seven members in the Choir, fourteen of whom are new members. Messiah Directed by Mrs. Alma Tallin; Wellman the girls’ chorus, boys’ chorus, girls’ glee club, A Cappella Choir, alumni and guest artists sang George Frederick Handel’s Messiah before a large and attentive audience. On December 21, 1942, at the Rowe auditorium it was given for the second time in the history of Rowe High School. The orchestra, also directed by Mrs. Wellman, played, from the Messiah, the Overture and the Pastoral Symphony. Giving an excellent performance were the five guest artists from Erie; Mrs. Jean Rodefer, soprano; Mrs. Lois Wells, contralto; Mr. David Rodefer, tenor; Mr. William Carr, bass; and Mrs. Alma Way, pianist. ■ 28 ■ ►

It has done very well considering the fact that there was only one short period a week in which to practice. The orchestra has played for our marching feet at assemblies, for the junior and senior plays and for the Messiah. The Hand, also under the direction of Mrs. Wellman, has twenty-five members. It has played for almost all of the home basketball games, helping to cheer the Rowe High Vikings on to victory. 29
