Pun-r Kay CONCENTRATING UPON A difficult arrangement for filst violin, Sherri Wood participates in the orchestra during the Christmas Assembly. UPERVISED EFFORTS Combining their abilities, Mitchell students have formed several musical groups. Mrs. Monte Brown took over the direction of the orchestra after Christmas vacation replacing Mr. Dean DeLaney. Mrs. Brown, who recently returned from Phoenix, had formerly taught in Colorado Springs. She finds the orchestra small but very well- balanced. Because each string instrument is equally represented in importance with six violins, two basses and one cello, the group is very versatile. Directed by Mr. Norman Smith, the stage band enjoyed jam sessions at after-school practices on Wed- nesdays. These sessions were not all jamming but also practices for playing at such events as dances and assemblies. Instruments represented in the group were saxo- phones, trumpets, trombones, drums, basses and piano. Playing jazz and show tunes, these students increased their musical ability while having fun. Traveling to junior highs, the Madrigal singers promote interest in the choir program at Mitchell. The group, composed of approximately twenty stu- dents, sings mainly show tunes. An extra curricular activity, the group meets after school.

On the evening of April 15 and 16, General Wil- liam Mitchell High School presented the all-school play, Arsenic and Old Lace, a popular comedy by Jo- seph Kesselring. Arsenic and Old Lace is a situation comedy about two charming old ladies and their brother, who thinks he is Theodore Roosevelt. These old ladies populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously Hacceptable' roomers whom they had put out of their misery by means of poisoned Elderberry wine. At the end of the play, Teddy packs up his bugle and is committed to a mental institution along with his two sisters. Also, some crooks who are foiled dur- ing the course of the play are sent to jail. Although Teddy and his two sisters are caught, the inhabitants of their cellar are never discovered. CHECKING THE LATEST victim are Barbie Allen and Marla Jackson. 3 A 1' .l A MR. J. D. BARNES points out acting techniques to one of his students. Brophy . . . Klein ...... Dr. Harper Teddy ....
