Do, Re, Mi

I remember listening during recreation periods to the popular Broadway musicals of the day: South Pacific, West Side Story, My Fair Lady, and of course, the Sound of Music. We sang some of those tunes in the “glee club”, and couldn’t get enough of them. I remember hanging out of the French windows and little balconies in the classroom above the library with Steve Henner and singing Do, Re, Mi from the Sound of Music, out into the courtyard below. When the new wing was being constructed, we lived one year at St. Joseph’s Hall at the corner of the property. Every night we would have to walk down the front driveway, and cut through the cemetary, to get there. To pass the time or to aleviate our fear of the dark, we would go down singing “Tonight” from West Side story. Crazy, but fun.
