Choir Productions: Folk Concert, “Spinning Wheel’’; Musical Comedy, “The Boyfriend.” Staging its first musical, the choir department, headed by Mr. Bernard Butt, produced “The Boy- Friend.” The curtains parted to reveal a swinging English set- ting of the 1920 ' s. Draping beads, iridescent red lips, and an exaggerated charleston set the mood for the romantic comedy. The audience saw overstated melo- drama and light-hearted love. A Musical Spinning Wheel was the theme created for the second annual folk concert also sponsored by the choir department. There was a wide variety of songs, ranging from folk songs to contemporary rock. A quartet composed of Joy Newell, Cathy Oliver, Garrett Daniels, and Mark Schafer combined vocal and instrumental talent in the arrangement, Color My World . They actually sounded better than the record, Rhonda Lindberg, senior choir member, commented.
