AII-State Chorus formance at the Teachers' Convention in Phoenix, ten Bisbee High School Choirsters climaxed three days of intensive practice on campus at Tempe. Chosen on the basis of voice quality and attitude toward their class work, these stu- dents were given a chance to broaden their musical outlook by participating in the vocal clinic with singers from all over the state, learning much from contact with other musicians, and from the skilled directing of Noble Cain, head of the vocal music depart- ment of the Arizona State College.

Boys' Glee Club TALENTED AND harmonious, the growing Boys' Glee Club had a highly successful season in which they delighted various audiences thoughout the southern part of the state. Singing familiar favorites for the Vespers, and later adding their abilities to the Spring Concert, their melodious voices attracted favorable comment wherever they were heard. The group was the training unit from which were drawn the majority of the male voices in the Mixed Chorus. Mr. Joseph Payne is deserving of the highest praise for his fine work in training the Boys' Glee Club. :m f - 5 4 ' i t s. 3.

A number of beautiful carols were sung by the Mixed Choir, the Girl's Glee Club, the Boy's Glee Club, and selected small groups.
