Only after selective rigorous au- ditioning in the Spring were mem- bers of the Concert Chorus able to begin daily practicing for their pro- fessional appearances in the Fall at the Honor Society Induction and at the annual Christmas program. The Concert Chorus and the Madrigals, sponsored by Miss Virginia Harder, sang at several other school assem- blies and musical programs through- out the year. Every Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon room 110 echoed to the lilting melodies of the Madrigals. Selected from the Con- cert Chorus as the creme de Za creme, they entertained at a luncheon of the Inner Wheel Club held at the May- flower Hotel early in the school sea- son and were available to area groups upon request. Wide variety in rhythms charac- terized Mr. Gilbert Muir's 17 mem- ber Dance Band when they played to appreciative area audiences. In January their hot numbers warmed up frozen couples at a Lion's Club dance, while the gentle melodies of slow music drifted through the halls of the National Institutes of Health.

Well- Gathering every week under the direction of Sponsor Stephen Peria- las, the Music Appreciation Club spent its first year listening to Bizet, Liszt, Weber and Beethoven. Mem- bers also focused on Oriental music with its complex tonal scale. The ex- otic instruments provided unusual vibrations on Western typana. Sponsored by Mrs. Dorothy Bryant and Miss Teresa Doherty, the Li- brary Assistants Club encouraged both active and honorary member- ship. Active members manned the circulation desk, shelved books, and checked periodicals in the library office. Bibliophiles unable to squeeze active service into their schedule participated as honorary members. The club's nine committees oversaw publicity and book distribution. Extending their artistic horizons, Art Club members created coloring books to cheer children in area hos- pitals. Sponsors, Mr. Robert Schmitz and Mrs. Emma Michaels, assisted the group in supervising the gala Christmas decorations and in pro- ducing monthly calendars on the bul- letin board-in December a green and blue oil abstract. 144 Activities out for biblioklepts.
