Loraine Mai, Of Locksley Trio Wants To Sing Professionally
Loraine Mai, soprano of the Locksley trio and a soloist on tours of the University Symphony orchestra, has been singing most of her life.
"I remember do-ra-me-fa-so-la-te-do back in the kindergarten days," she related. "My first real sing came in the fifth grade when I was in the operetta, 'Hansel and Gretel.' Decked out in a hoop-skirt, I had a big time playing Gretel excent during the $ ^{®} $
scenes with the witch. The witch was one of my chums, but she was frightening in her realistic makeup."
About this time she appeared on a guest radio broadcast. "The first experience with a mike is overpowering. 'Carry Me Back to Old Virginny' was my number—I was thinking 'Carry Me Back home,'" she said.
During junior high school, Loraine was cast in "The Mikado," by Gilbert and Sullivan, as Yum-Yum, one of the three little maids from school.
As a high school freshman, she played the role of Buttercup, a psychic old woman, in "H.M.S. Pinafore" by Gilbert and Sullivan. The next year, she sang in a girl's quartet which placed first at the national music contest in Omaha, Neb. "I also sang two solos there. 'Take Joy Home' was a fervent plea to the judges. Last was 'Thanks Be To Thee', my personal thanksgiving song because it was last."
Loraine has been at KU. two years, and is a sophomore majoring in voice. "I am not interested in teaching voice, but would rather sing professionally. It's a big order and a lot to ask of the future, but I'd like to be a concert artist. I wouldn't exactly mind hauling in $1,000 a night."
Loraine is a singer in the popular Locksley trio. "We keep busy," she observed. "At both the Freshman-Sophomore Hop last year and the I.S.A. winter formal dance we had engagements. Last week, we sang for the ways and means committee at a dinner given in its honor by Chancellor Malott.
"Of course, we're called into duty whenever Locksley entertains. At the winter formal, we sang 'Moon Glow' and 'Somebody Loves Me' with the 'Kass' Kassinger band."
At the orchestra concert in Iola this week, she appeared as vocalist, singing "Habanero" from "Carmen" (Bizet) and "Wanting You" (Romberg). "At least I wasn't lonely on the stage," she said philosophically. "Besides some 100 orchestra members on the platform, there were butterflies in my stomach and a frog in my throat."
Next Thursday, she will appear pear with the K.U. orchestra when it presents a concert in the Municinay auditorium in Kansas City.
Such are the activities of soprano Loraine Mai, who says: "You'd never guess my hobby. It't singing. I give out with a tune for a major part of my school work and in every spare minute."
The K.U. Radio club has made plans to repair a transmitter and receiver donated to them by the University. The chief function of the club now is to help members obtain amateur radio licenses.
