Madrigals and Ensembles A madrigal is a short medieval lyric of love. The madrigal singers of the sixteenth century traveled from village to village performing for landlords and kings. Our madrigals travel from church to church, in an effort to bring the madrigal alive in 75. The Madrigal Singers ' season of the year is Christ- mas. Churches all over the city invite the Madrigals to perform the tradi- tional feast, vifhere these talented young people demonstrate the six- teenth century dances, songs, and skits. The Ensembles, unlike the Madrig- als, sing the songs of today. All through the year the Girls and Boys Ensembles perform for the regularly scheduled Howe events and for many other places such as the Convalescent Center, the Gift and Hobby Show, and the various feeder schools to instill interest in the music department.

English The English Department continues to flourish with the use of phase-elec- tives. New electives were offered as well as the older ones. These courses give the students an opportunity to branch away from the traditional English format and concentrate on par- ticular areas of interest. Among the newest electives established was the Performing Arts class taught by Mrs. Baker. This class is designed for the ad- vanced drama students who enjoy per- forming before various audiences. Par- ticipating students are selected through auditions. Visuals was another new course, giving the student a chance to understand the processes in- volved in the actual filming of pro- grams. The student also learns about and experiments with cameras. Mr. Bruce Beck, department head, aids in developing the kinds of interesting class electives which appeal most to the student body. A.
