GLEE CLUBS, SYMPHONIES AND RECITALS Music, as always, has had a vital part in Starrett School life. Mr. Stead, as director of the Conservatory, has maintained interest in an active program of participations by many students. There were three additions to the faculty of the Conservatory this year. Mr. William Phillips succeeded Mrs. Jennison, who is taking a year's leave of absence in the movie colony in Hollywood, as voice teacher. Miss Frances Huff was added as instructor of violin and leader of the Toy Symphony, of which more will be said later. Miss Marion Johnson is the new accompanist. These new faculty members were introduced to the school at an assembly early in the year, by each presenting a few numbers most artistic- ally. Mr. Stead was the able leader of the Starrett Glee Club fsee page 621, composed of Eleanor Greenburg. Anne Trinder, Marjorie Cobacker, Eloise Morse, Beryl Brown, Ruth Lavery, Louise Hinman, Ruth Gartner, Marie Aamodt, Marijane Brouillet, Annette Lenz, Madeline Potts, Dorothy Doyle, Caddie Mozier, Marie Lunaburg, Anita Grosse, Eleanor Nelson, Marjorie Binden. The club did some fine work this year as shown in the fall, and the annual spring concert held on May fifteenth, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. Mr. Stead also sponsored a Conservatory Recital the evening of May twenty-fifth in the Smith Hall Conservatory. The girls who had been studying under Starrett teachers appeared on this program. There were also two afternoon recitals in the studio, which were enjoyed. Miss Huff inaugurated a most interesting group this year in the Toy Symphony fsee page 621, which has been enjoyed at many of the assemblies this year. The Freshmen of the group played at the Freshmen Mothers' Tea. The personnel of the group includes: Verona Tompkins. Lois Atwood, Gladys Hunt, Judith Weiler, Geraldine Field, Donna Dickey, Jean Howard, Louise Hinman, Jean Mackenzie, Mary Plaisted, Nancy Jean Malmfeldt, Eleanor Greenburg, Dorothy Waters, Marjorie Binden, Dorothy Doyle, Corinne Grawoig, Ruth Arnstein, Erla Stewart, Anita Grosse, Marie Lunaburg, Anne Trinder, Mary Ann Anderman. Annette Lenz, Eleanor Nelson, Maybelle Buckley. The Linden Trio, of which Miss Johnson is the pianist, has played for us often, for which we are very grateful. Miss Johnson is accompanist for Mr. Stead's Glee Club, and the Toy Symphony as well. The Boarders had an active year in both dramatics and music fsee page 62j. Miss Maddock conducted a Dramatic Club which presented three one-act plays, and a Glee Club which presented numbers by picked members at several group gatherings. Lillian Bachofen was president of the Dramatic Club, which was composed of Elnora Loomis, Doris DeWitt, Ruth Welden, Fern Orenstein, Janet Klein, Lillian Bachofen, Jane Ban- ning, Mary Ann Anderman, Jeanette Friesem, Jane Gilbert. Phyllis Weinhart, Doris Frost, Kay Wade, Grace Andrews, Anne Trinder, Dorothy Waters, Rut-h Gartner. Anne Trinder was president of the Glee Club, which included the following: Fern Orenstein, Ruth Welden, Mary Ann Anderman, Doris DeWitt, Jeannette Friesem, Doris Frost, Dorothy Waters, Jane Gilbert. Leah Klein, Anne Trinder, Ruth Gartner, Kay Wade, Bonita Lyons. Miss Maddock also had a Day School Glee Club fsee page 625, for which Miss Jane McMahon was the accompanist. This group appeared in the Christmas assembly dressed in choir robes, and sang three carols in special arrangement. It also sang at the Mothers' Tea given by the Freshmen. The members of this club are as follows: Erla Stewart, Ida Holland, Jane Banning, Gladys Hunt, Ruth Arnstein, Dorothy Waters, June O'Neill, Jeanne Sherwood, Joel Sullivan, Verona Tompkins, Lois Atwood, Fern Orenstein, Mary Plaisted, Doris DeWitt, Mary Ann Anderman, Ruth Welden, Jean Canavan, Maybelle Buckley, Mary Frances McDonnell. The outstanding musical event of the winter was the tea at which Miss Huff gave a delightful violin recital in the studio before a large group of interested friends. Sixty
