Musical Contributors All through their school life, Norbert Pietrzak and' Louise Gralka have been dance partners. Their debut was made at the band recital in their Fresh- man year. They continued to dance their way to fame in all the band musi- cales thereafter.rThe linale in their Senior year was their dance duet in the i947 Musicale-Minstrel, culminating a busy season which opened with a per- formance in Then and Now, an Alumni production. Sue Svienty, a pianist of great promise, was the accompanist for every musical program held at St. Michaels since she entered there from Holy Cross where she received her musical education from the Sisters of Charity. Sue's ability and unselhsh service made her an invaluable asset to every musical entertainment. The climax of Sue's musical career was reached when she was elected president of the Glee Club. Memory Island ' Many social activities made our stay at St. Michael's a happy one. On the boat to Memory Island let us stop lirst at our Freshmen social. We see huge sparkling teeth protruding from enormous lips surrotntded by a black surface. We recognize at once the endmen for our first minstrel. Arlene Krugli is ready for her Carmen Miranda act and Eleanor Geskosky is trying to conceal her freckles without success. The tide is changing so let us continue on to our Sophomore year. The scene is one from the Gay Ninetiesf' the entertainment at the Sophotnore s cial. There stands Tony Obidzinski garbed in a villain suit with his curls tossing back and forth. Bob Schmitt sporting a curled mustache is waltzing with his Lady Fair. Now the boat is slowly drifting away and the last thing that can he seen is the Rabbis beard slowly fading from his face. We have tinally reached our junior year. The curtain slowly rises and there sitting on the stage is our German Choral Club, singing Du, Du. Everyone is holding a beer mug femptyj. Norbert and Louise are doing their Folk Dance. Sister Judith, our maestro. is seated in the audience hoping we Du, Du our best. We did. The journey continues till we have reached the Michaelinian Kingdom. There wc hnd King Edward Mours and his consort, Queen Victoria, dubbing the freshmen with diamond studded swords, as Knights of the Michaelinian Kingdom. This is part of the unique feature program prepared for the Fresh- men 'Wvelcome Social as pictured on page 39. Our journey will never end for we will always remember the wonderful years we have spent at St. Michaels.
