175 4 i § a lh a i April 9, 1975 Musical career for Marie Macklin by Martha Fuhrman It was about thirteen years ago when Marie Mack- lin, daughter of Theodore Macklin of Lancaster, and Mrs. George Goshea of Mari- etta, sang her first solo in the second grade in a spring program at the Marietta Ele- mentary School. “I’ve been singing ever since,” Marie says. Singing was not Marie's only talent. - In the fourth grade she started playing a clarinet and also took piano lessons from Mrs. Johns, for- merly of E. Market St. Marietta. By the time Marie reached sixth grade she had advanced to first chair for clarinet in the band at May- town School, under the di- rection of Mr. Morrell Shields. By the time she reached eighth grade, the clarinet had somehow fallen by the wayside, but Marie was still singing and playing the piano. Outside school, Marie’s voice was heard in churches and many public places throughout the area. She was now studying under Mrs. Mildred Sloan of Mount Joy. In the fall of 1969 Marie started to attend St. Frances Academy of Rome, in Balti- more, Md. This is an all- black private Catholic board- ing school run by the Ob- late Sisters of Providence. Here Marie’s musical studies ground to a halt. She kept on singing. Marie and a few other girls including a pian- ist, formed a group, sang at talent shows, and won prizes in several contests. In her sophomore year at St. Frances, Marie won the general excellence a- ward. In her senior year, the students put on a Passion Play for Easter. Marie was chosen to write the music and also for the play, to di- rect the chorus. Sixteen per- formances of the Passion Play were given followed by a command performance at- tended by Cardinal Sheehan of Baltimore, Md. At her graduation from St. Frances, Marie received the outstanding teenager a- ward, the leadership award, and the creative arts award. After graduating from St. Frances, Marie traveled with the St. Frances Xavier gospel choir of Baltimore, Md. In the summer of 1973, Marie entered the Peabody Preparatory School where she studied piano for six weeks. In the fall of 1973 she went back to Peabody Preparatory to study piano, voice and -theory. She was also living and working at St. Frances Academy, where she was in charge of the music department and also played the organ. But now a problem arose. Marie was having difficulty Marie Macklin with her voice. It was raspy, and her range was shorten- ed. A throat specialist, Dr. Berry of Baltimore, deter- mined that an operation to remove nodes was necessary. In February of 1974 the op- eration was performed. For two weeks she was not al- lowed to speak and was not allowed to sing for six mon- ths. Marie says she cheated a bit, because she just had to find out if she still had a voice. After her operation she left St. Frances and came home to Marietta un- til time to return to Pea- body. Just recently Marie sang in a recital at the school. Marie will graduate from Peabody Preparatory in May and in the fall will continue her musical studies at the Peabody Conservatory.Dur- ing the summer, Marie will further her studies at the University of Hartford in Hartford, Connecticut, where she’ will study under Walter Hautzig, internation- ally known pianist. Marie plans to get her master’s degree in music at Peabody and then go -on for a doctor’s degree. An unusual musical career was launched by the solo that little Marie Macklin sang in the second grade at Marietta Elementary School. Boozer chairs GOP campaign Larry D.
