The Morgan School - Tower Yearbook (Clinton, CT)

The Choral and Glee Clubs have shown excellent talent in their many performances during the school year. A great deal of effort is put into the prepara- tion of fine programs with regular periods of prac- tice weekly and more intense practice whenever a special occasion demands, such as for the operetta, Shreds and Patches, selections from Gilbert and Sullivan. This group of singers performed for the Parent- Teachers' Association at Christmas. They had a speci- ally chosen repertoire of Christmas music. The diffi- cult numbers were beautifully rendered, under the proficient conducting of Mr. Wahle. Mr. White has now assumed the position of conductor for these clubs. Four members were chosen to represent Morgan School to sing at the All-State Music Festival. This occasion was held for two days, and the recital was in Bushnell Memorial Hall at Hartford. Mrs. Edward Walker rehearsed this group and chaperoned them. She also subscribed her car and self in their behalf. The Choral and Glee Clubs are always available for for any special occasion of the school. They hope to help purchase a stage curtain for the new high school by contributing funds received from their activities. if -A. ll Jw and We f J TQ N-Q3 NJ 4-ai-r fi. Z

These are the little fry. For the second year the Eighth Grade has graced the walls of Morgan. Far from daunted by the towering upperclassmen they played gamely at the same activi- ties as their superiors. Their determined will was always there, even if their power was lacking. Their class officers were a sturdy crew and had the natural knack of leadership, they were: President-Frank Dibella, Vice- President-Richard Sternberg, Secretary-Maureen Benedetto, Treasurer-Wendell Moore. They fought in the Magazine Campaign and came outfwell -last, however, they made fine hosts and hostesses at a most entertaining party. They were fiends for the social side of high school life, giving dances, participating in other classes' dances and in the Choral Club where they helped boost our ranks measureably. Their schedule was upset at various times during the year by the advent of new teachers at different times. Like the chamel- eon, however, they quickly adapted themselves and continued in the manner of diligent little scholars. They are young, but in earnestness and loyalty they are tops. They are certainly a credit to Morgan-and may they be throughout their five years. ,xs- Sw V- V ,,4' - -xx J,- ,. ,, , J 24
