Lois, College Years


Lois is the first woman in full view to the right of the gentleman with glasses.

Lois Call was the president of the Rockettes at BYU in 1957.  The Rockettes provided entertainment for student audiences as well as people all over the Western States.  Organized in 1895, the girls toured with the Student Program Bureau.  A high kick, ability to learn the dances quickly, and good appearance form the requirements for membership.

From the bottom, Lois is in the 4th row up and 3rd from the left.
Lois also participated in the Opera Workshop Chorus while at BYU.   The major production for the year of 1957 was the grand opera "Carmen" by Bizet.  Several light operas and opera excerpts were presented throughout the year.  These included "Gianni Schicchi" and "Brigadoon."
