Vol. 1, No. 2 - September 24, 1979 St. Mary‘s City, Maryland Phase One Digs Up Route Five Bo Kibler Choir Sings For Pope If yo u ’ve wondered on the why’s and wherefore’s o f all the construction taking place on Rte. 5, rest easy. The mammoth yellow machineries, digging and clawing by the roadside are n o t on their way to China. They are the workings o f The Bay Intercepter project which must be completed before Phase I and II o f the College Master Plan can be initiated. Please, again, rest easy. I will explain. The Bay Intercepter Project is the resulting colloberation between State, County, and College bigwigs, designed to sophisticate the College sewage system up to par with the rest o f the State. According to Ed Geiger, Director o f Auxiliary Services, Budget and Personnel on campus, there is an existing county wide Plan which shows the areas in which sewage can be dumped and where it cannot. Although the college has been doing it for years, St. Mary’s River is n o t a designated sewage swallower. There has never been a real problem with “You and your chorus are invited to take part in a most exciting liturgical-musical event. Pope Jo h n Paul II will celebrate a Pontificial Mass in the City o f Washington on Sunday, October 7 at 3:00 p.m., at a special altar constructed on the Mall in the vicinity o f the Smithsonian Institution. Some 500,000 people are expected to attend, and ABC-TV will broadcast nationwide the entire Mass.” So reads the opening paragraph o f the le tte r o f invitation from the Music Committee for the Pontificial Mass sent to the SMC Choir. The Choir is invited to be part o f an Archdiocesan Chorale composed o f some 400-500 voices from colleges and universities in and surrounding the Archdiocese o f Washington. A chorus made up o f chosen parish choirs will also be involved in the Service. The Archdiocesan Chorale is scheduled to perform parts o f the mass itself as follows: Choral Prelude, Glory to God, Motet for the Preparation o f the Gifts, some Communion Anthems, and the Recessional Anthem. At this writing, Dr. Willets, the director o f SMC Choir and Chamber Singers, has n o t received the specific pieces o f music to be performed. Interestingly enough, ABC-TV has never before recorded a choir o f this this in the past, says Mr. Geiger, but sooner or later the county was doomed to experience a “Coming o f Age.” St. Mary’s County is less and less a place associated with lost travellers, and the College is no longer a small female* seminary. As you can imagine, the new sewage dump will be the Chesapeake Bay. multitude in an outside setting. As a result, the rehearsal will be held the day before at 2:00 p.m. a t the Museum of Natural Histgry so th a t the Chorale can walk on to the Mall for a dress rehearsal with the television sound equipment. When asked why she thought St. Mary’s Choir would be chosen for such an honor, Dr. Willets replied th a t several ideas had crossed her mind. Dr. Willets has sung on previous occasions with Paul P. Traver, the Director o f University o f Maryland Choir, who is also directing the Archdiocesan Choral. Dr. Willets wondered a t first, if the name “ St. Mary’s College” had led Mr. Traver to believe th a t the school was church affiliated. Dr. Willets later learned that Mr. Traver was well aware th a t SMC is a state college when he extended the invitation to the school. Rather, his aquaintance with Ms. Willets, her reputation and th a t o f the Choir, appears to be the catalyst which brought such an honor to our small Music Department and our entire campus. Dr. Willets is b oth excited and honored by the opportunity to sing for such an important event and expressed a desire for anyone interested to come hear the service on the Mall, or on the Sewage will no longer be treated in the noisy little brick house next to Queen Anne Dorms, but will pass through it’s piping up Rte. 5 to a new pumping station being built on to p o f the hill, by the big white house.

Dance, the mysterious voice says, dance as if your entire existence depended upon it. This may sound like an excerpt from the ballet “The Red Shoes,” but if one attended the Gil Eagles Show on September 18, this may seem more like an act performed by one o f his hypnotised subjects.
