The Belles of Saint Mary’s May 111 ==ei JHN RICKENBAKER GIVES CERTIFICATE PIANO RECITAL Jean Rickenbaker gave her certifi cate piano recital Friday night, May 4. She charmed her audience not only with her excellent and enjoy able playing but also with her ease and grace before the public. Sophomore Suzie Just think! in a month we’ll all be out of school—at least for three months if we aren’t goin’ to summer school. And I betcha those or rather these last few weeks really go by, but fast. We’ve got so very much to do. Ry the way, before I forget I’d like to say that some senior asked me«to mention that all prospective Holt residents ought to come over and stake out their furniture for next year—prices very reasonable. Books too! after exams though, “nacherly.” Mow I’m going to amaze every body and get strictly serious for just a minute. You sec, 1 can think about something else but everyday triviali ties. Anyway, V-E Day was last ilonday, and I was impressed. You see that was a day we’ll tell our chil dren about, if—. It’s j)retty hi.s- toric, and it means a whole lot. It means that all those peo[>le in Eu rope, the innocent ones, won’t have to suffer any more, and they’ll have the chance to start a new life. And it means that some of the hoys will 1)0 coming home, some will go on to the Pacific and beat Japan. Some will never come back—they’ve paid pretty dearly. So I just hope I’ll never forget that when I think of Y-E Day. Mow I’m waiting for Y-J Day, then I’m going to cele brate. The Junior-Senior wa,s really the thing, with all of those little ballet dancers and the painted audience behind the orchestra. Alarine offi cers and ensigns i)redominaled, and there were lots of civilians too, but the Army seemed to have been very much in hiding. Then practically all of the seniors and most of the juniors went out after the dance. I understand that there was a big party too. SWIMMING CLUB PRESENTS WATER PAGEANT “Davy Jones’ Locker” Is Theme Presented Under Direction of Miss Genevieve Senecal On the program were selections from Bach’s “French Suite in G Major” (the Sarahande and Ga votte), Mozart’s Fantasie in D Minor, Liszt’s Valse Ouhliee, two of Chopin’s Mazurkas, those in C Ma jor and F sharp Minor, and Tschai- kowsky’s Humoresque. The first water pageant given at Saint Mary’s was held April 26 and 27 with great success. Miss Gene vieve Senecal directed the pageant and the girls of the 1945 swimming club participated. At this point there was an inter mission during which Mancy Han nah, soprano, sang Grieg’s I Love Thee and Les Filles de Cadiz, ac companied by Anne Prothro at the piano. The final portion of Jean’s recital consisted of Debussy’s amusing Gol- liwogg’s Cake Walk, which gave her the opportunity to use a complicated cross-hand technique successfully, and The Little Shepherd, and Palm- gren’s stirring The Sea. Two sprays of red roses were handed over the footlights to the pianist at intermission. She wore a bouffant white net dress with a fuscia bow on the skirt and a white orchid in her hair. The scene was laid in “Davy Jones’ locker” and the audience saw first, sea nymphs with phosphorous lights gliding slowly through the water. Their lights were the only illumination and they shone bril liantly in the water. Preceding the finale, Veronica, the sea clown (Sister Smith) brought “the three li’l fishes and the mama fishy too” back upon the scene for a demonstration of more dives. ■ The finale was centered around a floating fountain. All of the girls in the Pageant dived in one at a time, and swam to music, forming designs. The officers of the swimming club are: IVIary Dickey, President, Sybil Goerch, Vice-President, and Jane Lee Parker, Secretary-Treasurer. KATHERINE TAYLOR GIVES ORGAN RECITAL IN CHAPEL GWEN HUGHES GIVES VOICE RECITAL IN AUDITORIUM When the sea nymphs had glided off, the “three li’l fishes and the mama fishy too” came out to give a diving demonstration. These were Carolyn DesChamps, Lillian Love, Sissy Mull, and Mary Butler. While they were performing, Veronica, the clown. Sister Smith dashed out to annoy the li’l fishes and amuse the audience. Veronica finally led the fishes out of sight to play in other waters. Soft music, waltz time, brought in six girls who swam in perfect rhythm to it. They were Ann Edmunds, Sylvia Green, Mildred Chappell, Athalia Alligood, Jean Dickerson, and Mary Dickey. They swam up and down the pool forming figures end ing by bringing out a chain of water lilies and forming a circle. At this moment the water clowns seemed to come from everywhere, and diving into the middle of the circle of lilies, they began to perform together. Their surface dives and dives, one at a time from the bank were lovely to watch. Certificate Student of Miss Ger aldine Cate Renders Alto Selec tions for S.M.S. and Visitors Gavch Hughes gave her certificate recital in the Saint Mary’s School auditorium on Monday night, April 13. Janice Fitzgerald accompanied her on the piano. The recital was made up of a va riety of songs, all of which were sung with an ease and skill which brought out the excellent qualities of Gwen’s voice. She showed a great deal of poise in her stage manner. Both her facial expressions and her expression of tone made her singing thoroughly enjoyable. In the first part of the program Gwen sang “Rendi’l sereno al ciglio,” by Handel; “Danza, danza, fanci- ulla gentile,” by Durante; and “Gens due splendida (Ilora Xovissima),” by Parker. In the second part she sang “Bois epais,” by Lully; “Chant Hindou,” by Bemberg; and “Pres des ramparts (Carmen),” by Bizet. The third part of the recital con sisted of four charming Gypsy songs by Dvorak. They were “Mein Lied ertont,” “Rings ist der Wald,” “Als die alte Mutter,” and “Darf des Falken Schwinge.” These were par ticularly good. The last part of the program con sisted of more modern types of songs, and were very much enjoyed. These songs were “Velvet Shoes,” by Ran dall Thompson; “Honor! Honor!” arranged by Hall Johnson; “A Bal lad of Trees and the blaster,” by George W. Chadwick; “Animal Crackers,” by Richard Hageman; and “Mirandi,” by Richard Hage man. AIUS. RKMHKUT’S .\KT EXHIRIT (From P. 1, Col. 2) Rembert’s earlier works, were precise near-designs of a “ilagnolia” and a “Lotus.” Other still-lifes were: “Victorian Vase,” “Still Life With Grapes,” “Still Life With Mantle,” “Blue Table,” “Picture Frames,” and “Still Life With Four Beets,” which was the only painting at all dulled in tone. Katherine Taylor, student of Rus sell Broughton, gave a short organ recital in the Chapel, Wednesday afternoon, Aj)ril 2.5. Her program was well selected and enjoyable, mostly because of her excellent play ing technique and interi)retation. The first section of the program consisted of eighteenth century Eng lish comi)ositions: Diapason Move ment by William AValond, Andante Pastoral by Thomas Adams, and Alla Marcia by .lonathan Battishill. Mext, she j)layed three Bach coni])0- sitions, then ended her i)rogram with three modern selections: an Elert arrangement of a Sigfrid Kark com- ])osition, Merritt .lohnson’s Minia ture in I) major, and Theodore Du bois’ Grand Chorus in B flat. V-E I).\Y (From P. L Col. 4) two cans of beer free. The formal an nouncement of victory in Europe was announced by the Guam radio and relayed by shij)s' broadcasting systems to the men of the fleet and to the men on shore. !Mrs. Franklin D. Roo.sevelt, widow of the late president of the United States, said that she knew that her husband was grateful and that “we must go on with every j)Ower we have.” The German War is over and al ready new sj)eculations as to the V-.I day generally lean to the belief that Japan will be beaten within a year.
