MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS BRIGHTEN SONGLESS DAYS Some of the most colorful aspects of rallies or foot¬ ball games are the stirring marches played by the band. Under the supervision of Mr. Arthur Levine, the band aids the cheerleaders, injects spirit into a crowd, and boosts the morale of game players. On many cold winter mornings band members can be seen rushing to an eight o’clock rehearsal with instruments tucked under their arms, or, during the football season, marching up and down the football field during first period. Their lively music will be remembered by many studious first period classes. The versatility of the choir can be seen in its musical repertoire. From classics to popular tunes, the choir, under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Martin, per¬ forms at many school functions. Members of the group have also participated in many inter-high, inter¬ city, and inter-state choirs. One can often hear a notice on the P.A. system: The choir will meet tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. and period one in room 168. The orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Clayton Shufelt, is another school musical organization. Many mornings before school light melodies can be heard emanating from the auditorium. If one were to look inside, a group of students could be seen on the stage, intently watching their music and the conduc¬ tor. This group would be the orchestra. The outstand¬ ing member of the orchestra this year is undoubtedly Nancy Grant. An accomplished violinist, Nancy had the honor of playing with the Hartford Symphony Orchestra at Weaver as guest soloist.

CO-CURRICULAR CIRCLES MIX STUDY WITH PLEASURE Students who wish to extend their academic in¬ terest in clubs can do so in Weaver. The Latin Club, advised by Mr. Joseph Hilbert, with Marla Cohen as president, conducted discussion groups on the history of the language, as well as its present status in the world. Students in and out of the art department can develop their skills and interest in the Art-Crafts Club, advised by Mr. John Preu. Diane Korduner, president, arranged lectures with Weaver alumni on their position in the art world. A trip to New York was taken, where popular museums were visited. The Biology Club, advised by Mr. Gilbert Stuart, developed the members into well-informed adults. President Steven Mastronarde and other members were rewarded with discussions on the internal and external features of animals. Students interested in the German language and culture can pursue their interests in the German Club, advised by Mr. Fritz Tietze. The German Club pro¬ vided an atmosphere for students to further study the German culture and make them well-rounded citizens. 27
