The purpose of the or- ganization is to perfect their presentations given at the annual Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assemblies. Also, there is a special evening performance in which the chorus takes part. This year, in the Evening of Music, the senior high chorus presented an informal sing. All phases of American music were featured: folk- music, Negro spirituals, broadway music, semi- religious, and music for fun. The highlight of the evening was the audience participation in the finale. Other selections included, Climb Every Mountain, Round 'N Round, Who Built de Ark, and I Gave My Love a Cherry. In the Christ- mas program the chorus emphasised semi-religious songs besides the traditional hymns and carols.
