This group, however, was not organized until shortly before Christmas. Since there was no contest this year, the chorus presented an Easter Cantata. This consisted of various numbers by the group with Annelle von Alrnen, soprano, Hazel Boatrnan, alto, Mark Nice, tenor, lean Boatman, baritone, and Paul Nice, baritone, carrying through with solos. At the close ci the season, Mr. Sliva, our director, gave a big picnic and skating party in reward for the good Work and hard practice. Seventy-two
