Choir’s exchange concert with Windsor High taped for radio : - At Roaming through the annex before school or during first period, Weaverites are bound to hear the sounds of at least one of the musical organizations rehearsing for its next performance. The members of the choir spent the fall learning music for their Christ¬ mas exchange concert with Windsor High School. A tape was made of this performance and replayed over the radio on Christmas Day. At their spring concert, the choir performed “Last Words of David” by Randall Thompson, “Thanks Be To Thee” by George Handel, “Done Made My Vow to the Lord” and “Didn ' t My Lord Deliver Daniel,” two Negro spirituals. In addition, they sang selections from Rogers and Hammer- stein’s “The Sound of Music” and invited Michael Thomas, a former Weaver graduate, to harmonize with them in “0 God Our Help in Ages Past.” The band kept itself busy by marching in parades and during half-times of football games. In their green and white uniforms, they followed the majorettes, adding the stirring marches which are traditional to the football season to Weaver games. With its new adviser, Mr. Dean, the orchestra joined with other schools in two exchange concerts. In one, a concert held in March with Windsor High School, the two orchestras joined in the finale, “Sound of Music,” including favorites such as “Do-Re-Mi,” “My Favorite Things,” and “Climb Ev’ry Mountain.” At a second concert with Bristol Eastern High School, both groups combined to produce a symphonic sound and members had the experience of playing in a large scale orchestra. Senior members of the orchestra included Gail Michelson on the bassoon, Ronnie Zorick on the viola, Melanie Petrossi on the flute, Marlene Bunis on the trumpet, Lynn Waxman on percussion, Victoria Washington and Marla Cohen on the oboe, Bev Plassick on the clarinet and Stephen Kramer on strings.

World Affairs Center delves into foreign relations REVIEW staff includes Jack Komisar, Wilhelmina Cook, Etta Birenbaum, Jay Ginsberg, Pamela Gregoire, Marla Cohen and Eugene Seymour. Alert to significant problems, the World Affairs Center informs stu¬ dents of current world affairs, both national and international in scope. This year, several members took part in a model U.N. session held in April where student participants repre¬ sented the countries of Israel, Hun¬ gary, and Mexico. During a trip to New York, they toured the U.N. and spoke with foreign delegates from their countries. After a pause of a year, the REVIEW, Weaver’s magazine, again published an imaginative collection of poems, short stories, essays, and illustrations. The Dance Club was just as creative since most of the choreography was blocked out by the girls themselves, giving them the op¬ portunity to work with modern jazz. World Affairs Center includes Lianne Doherty, Eli Skora, Joan Hyne, Robert Levine, Danny Dermer, Neal Singer, Fern Zlochiver, Michael Levy, Carol Dance Club includes (Front Row) Sylvia Fox, Saundra Zwick, Jay Ginsberg, Larry Ginsberg, Debbie Shor, and lllona Yousman.
