President, Laura Erb, 24443 Hilliard Blvd., Westlake,<br />
Ohio, 44145.<br />
On January 11, the Polymorphous chapter held an<br />
election meeting. Laura Erb was unanimously voted<br />
Honorary President. The elected officers were: Laura<br />
Lou Erb Roth, President; Claudia Kapp, Vice-President;<br />
Cecilia Ilg McKay, Secretary; and Susan Keith,<br />

On March 2, <strong>1974</strong>, Cecilia Ilg McKay will be solo<br />
harpist with the Cleveland Orchestra, under the direction<br />
of Gerald Page, who will conduct a consolidated<br />
group of musicians, including all the band, orchestra,<br />
and choir members of Avon Lake.<br />
On March 10, at the Lakewood Congregational<br />
Church, Claudia Knapp will perform a very beautiful and<br />
unique number entitled The American Folk Hymn<br />
Suite. This number was specially written for handbells,<br />
harp, and organ by the well known composer Dale<br />
Wood.<br />
On Saturday, April 20, at 8:00, Laura Erb's harp<br />
ensemble and Laura's Little Angels (troubadour harpists)<br />
will participate in the Sixth Annual Artists Series<br />
at the Aurora Performing Arts Center. Also appearing<br />
on this program is Louis Nye, a well known television<br />
comedian personality.<br />
In December, as is traditional, Laura Erb's harp ensemble<br />
contributed to the Christmas spirit by performing<br />
for several clubs in Greater Metropolitan Cleveland.<br />
These included the American Association of University<br />
Women in Lorain Ohio, featured soloist Laura<br />
Lou Erb Roth; Bay Village Womens Club, Bay Village,<br />
Ohio; Business and Professional Womens Guild<br />
in Euclid, Ohio; and Womens Club of Rockport Methodist<br />

Alexander, Linda Blake, Lisa Craig, Christy Du Vernay,<br />
Marcia Fleck, Pam Friedman, Kathy Hart,<br />
Kathleen Rathke, Leslie Rees, and Sharon Wasserbauer.<br />
We would like to share with you a most pleasant and<br />
exhilerating experience. On <strong>No</strong>vember 9, Laura Erb<br />
and her daughter Laura Lou Erb Roth, journeyed to<br />
Pittsburgh to visit Laura's teacher, Lucile Johnson<br />
Rosenbloom whom she hadn't seen in 30 years. During<br />
the course of the evening, Lucile Johnson and Marcela<br />
Kozikova, her musical colleague, played several numbers<br />
that they have performed for thousands of people<br />
on their concert tours in the Middle East, Europe and<br />
the United States. It was a rare privilege to be able to<br />
sit in front of the fireplace in an intimate atmosphere<br />
and absorb with rapture the magnificent artistry these<br />
reknowned harpists displayed. Lucile and Marcela<br />
promised to visit Laura Erb this summer and you can<br />
imagine how the Polymorphous chapter is looking forward<br />
to meeting these two great harpists.<br />
CHICAGO<br />
President, Mr. Ellis Schuman, 5415 N. Sheridan Road,<br />
Chicago, Ill., 60640.<br />
The Chicago Chapter hosted a reception for Edward<br />
Druzinsky, Chicago Symphony Harpist following his<br />
performance with the Chicago Chamber Choir last<br />
December. The number of people attending the reception<br />
exceeded all expectations. Chapter members Mr. &<br />
Mrs. Frank Gillis and Mr. & Mrs. John Rush and<br />
Michael Shallow were on hand to see that the refreshments<br />
matched the unexpected demand. Mrs. Druzinsky<br />
joined her husband in greeting the many friends of the<br />
harp.<br />
The Chapter can always count on a large attendance<br />
at a tour of the Chicago-based Lyon-Healy harp factory.<br />
The tour last December was no exception. This time,<br />
however, Chapter President Ellis Schuman extended an<br />
invitation to Milwaukee's Chapter President Emmy Lou<br />
Krill and her Chapter to attend this interesting and educational<br />
event. A spirit of good will among the two<br />
Chapters was in evidence throughout the afternoon.<br />
Once again, Henning Christiansen, Head of Lyon<br />
Healy's Harp Department demonstrated his remarkable<br />
ability to guide the members and their friends through<br />
the production area while explaining the complex building<br />
procedures in a simple and direct manner. The tour<br />
