Fifties Program Recalled The SMA Orchestra might be called a clock, the ancient, half-forgotten grandfather type that if left unwound and uncared for runs down, be- comes full of dust, rusty and decrepit until the watchmaker dusts away the cobwebs, oils the joints to remove the squeaks, winds it up and keeps it running smoothly by constant care. So it is with an Orchestra where squeaky instruments and rusty players abound in September when the clock strikes twelve, the beginning of the year. Auditions are held, positions secured, a Concert Mistress is selected and new members initiated in a mad tea party hosted by the Madhatter him- self. The clock chimes three as the first Orchestra program is given in November. The theme, The Fabulous Fifties, a resume of the last ten years of events through music, showed the clock's ap- preciation of time and the perseverence of the watchmaker for the squeaks and rust are hardly apparent. On the clock ticks through the Christmas pro- gram, the school play, various assemblies, the Spring Contest and, at last, when all parts run smoothly, the climaxing Spring Concert. Working together as a precise unit the Orchestra members proudly display the watchmaker's skill and their own ability. F a Selected as Concert Mistress tor the 59-60 season is iunior Kathleen McGill. Busily adding finishing touches to the cherry tree tray favors for the Sisters at St. Ann's Infirmary are Orchestra otticers Janice Polacheck, president, Marion Schullo, secretary, Sister Mary Andree, conductor, Kathleen Kramer, treasurer, and Patricia Shackton, historian. it H wr
