Adding a colorful Spanish operetta, Don Alonzo's Treasure, to its annual Christmastide performance of Handel's Messiah, the Clee Club also assisted at various musical recitals and assemblies. Not con- fining its activities to school programs alone, the chorus, fifty-nine in number, sang for programs out- side the school on several occasions. proven The thirteen members of the Academy Orchestra also lent their talents to help make assemblies, re- citals, and plays more enjoyable. Resplendent in new blue and gold uniforms, their harmony ex- tended to color as well as music. Highlights of orchestra and Glee Club activities during the past year were: Handel's Messiah, December 19, 1941: Don Alonzo's Treasure by Renn-Morgan, February 17-19, 19425 Music Recital, April 24, 1942: Class play, May 17-19, 1942.
