A MODERN LEGEND:
German Choir Gains Recognition

Y'

for Dinner or Snack

..it's MILK MAID!

The story of the Obernjirchenv
Children's Choir, like the part
almost takes on the aspect of
legend.
But this story is a modern fairy
tale, one that began not "once
upon a time," but just a very few
years ago.
Obernkirchen is a town nestled
in a valley in Lower Saxony, not
far from the legendary Pied Piper's
Hamelin.
Social Worker's Idea
A short time ago, a social worker
named Edith Moeller was seeking a
way to raise funds for the town's
orphanage. She conveived the idea
of organizing a choir of musically
talented children to give local con-
certs, in order to earn money for
the orphanage.
In the summer of 1953, the Choir,
not only unknown, but barely con-
sidered in the professional class,
entered the International Eistedd-
fod in Llangollen, Wales. Chal-
lenging the 25 larger, more exper-
ienced singing groups from all
over Europe, the children walked
off with first prize.
Success 'Phenomenal'
At the Wales festival they sang
a song written for them by Miss
Moeller's brother, Friedrich. It
was "The Happy Wanderer," a
tune that swept them to instant
and quite unexpected fame.

Their first concert tour last sea-
son was phenomenally successful.
The group will make their Ann
Arbor debut at 8:30 p.m. Monday
in Hill Auditorium.
Membership in the singing group
does not depend on either pro-
fessional, social, religious or poli-
tical standings. The children are
sons and daughter of professional
people, federal and municipal em-
APO To Begin
Poster Display
Poster distribution to University
bulletin boards will begin Tuesday,
October 18.
Any poster of general interest to
the campus may be put up. All
posters must have the Alpha Phi
Omega approval stamp before be-
ing displayed.
Posters found on the University
boards without this stamp will be
removed and held in the APO
office for claiming or request to
stamp and repost.
APO's office on the second floor
of Lane Hall is open for approval
of posters from 1 to 5 p.m. week-
days and from 9 to 12 Saturdays.

ployees, artisans, farmers and
laborers. Some are refugees from
Germany's Eastern Zone.
Spirit of Unity
The spirit of unity fostered
among the members of the Choir
is Miss Moeller's carefully planned
policy. She maintains an intimate
and friendly connection with the
homes of the children. Even their
parents consider themselves mem-
bers of the Choir community.
Obernkirchen's farmers still
maintain their old homely tradi-
tions. The women working in the
fields are attired in bright red
skirts, like the generations of wo-
men before them.
Authentic colorful copies of
Obernkerchen's historic costumes
are worn by members of the Choir
-blue velvet jackets, black shirts,
grey striped skirts and long white
stockings.
The children are no different
from children in America in that
they occasionally are mischievous
and join in games with gusto.
But their favorite food is not
ice cream; surprisingly enough.
The American edible which im-
presses them most, which they
never tire of and which they con-
sume with great glee is, of all
things, corn flakes!

"PUT SOME LIFE IN THOSE EYES!",
Student Finds Expression
Stifled Camera Snout

N, --®

By ROBERT F. JONES

"Now, let's see some EXPRES-
SION," the photographer grinned,
stepping out from behind his bulky
camera.
Expression was the last thing I
was capable of at that moment.
An eternity of microscopic chin-
adjustments, face-tiltings and
spine-straightenings had reduced
me to a feeling of sculpted im-
mobility. So this was Senior Pic-
tures. The words themselves seem-
ed accompanied by the distant jar
of a brass gong.
'Let's See Some Life'
"C'mon now, let's see a little
life," my inquisitor said. I grinned
stupidly.
"No. Relax your mouth. It's all
taut."
Indeed, it was. Every muscle was
as of wire. A dutiful puppet, I
relaxed my face, feeling the musc-
les slump to the pull of gravity.
"Now wait a minute," the photo-
grapher snarled. "Your eyes.
Senior Pictures
Sales Continued
Senior picture sales have been
extended to Friday, Oct. 21, ac-
cording to Ensian staff members.
All seniors who have received'
their proofs are requested to bringj
them to the Student Publications
Building between noon and 5 p.m.
or 7 and 9 p.m.

They're dead. Let's get some life
in those eyes!"
I injected a quick dose of life
into my eyes, but from his ex-
pression I knew it was no good.
Unconsciously, I 'shifted the posi-
tion of my left scapula. I could
actually FEEL the life flood into
my eyes.
'You Slumped!'
"What? What?" the photogra-
pher cried. "You slumped!" I
quickly snapped back to my posi-
tion of attention.
He snorted. Guilt pressed more
heavily on my shoulders. I tried
again with the life thing. Heumust
have sensed my feeling of futility,
and with no further ado, clicked
the shutter.
I bounded from my seat, but his
voice snared me in my tracks.
"No, no. We've five more to
take."
After that it wasn't bad. He'd
given up on me: I concentrated on
the sounds of photographic action
emanating from the other side of
the room. The second photogra-
pher was running a coed through
the ritual. Definitely more photo-
genic than I, she possessed in addi-
tion the ability to look alive while
actually captivated by her mus-
culature.
Maybe some day they'll succeed
in extracting blood from turnips,
silk purses from sow's ears.
But never will they get life into
my face under a battery of white
light and the snout of a Senior
Pictures camera.
