Choirs Expand To Give Opportunities To Many CHORAL groups expanded to three this year vith the formation of a sophomore choir under the direction of Mrs. Bernice Lieber. The new group joined the concert and mixed choirs to present the annual Christmas concert and the choral segment of the Fine Arts Festival. This year the Christmas program was presented in the evening rather than during assembly hours as in past years. East Detroit ' s choirs have been judged su¬ perior, for the past 18 years, an achievement matched by few other schools in the state. Su¬ perior ratings were also won by several of the singers in the District Solo and Ensemble festival. In addition to their concerts choir members also perform at the honors assembly, bacca¬ laureate, and commencement exercises. GAYLY dressed choir members cheer jolly old St. Nick, Don Ozga, as he arrives on stage for the winter outdoor segment of the Christmas concert. HARMONIZING, the combined choirs which included the concert, mixed, and sophomore choral groups, performed at the Christmas festival. Mrs. Bernice Lieber directs.
