The choir is under the joint direction of Miss Johns and Mr. Burrows. The entire grou meets three times a week, while twice a week the boys and girls work separately. The Ninth Grade Choir particpated in the annual Christmas Concert, a spring concert, and during May they also entered the Music Festival held at the Armory. Wearing maroon robes and white collars during concerts, they are an impressive group. Many members of the Ninth Grade choir sang in the production Brair-Rose. Seventh and Eighth Graders at East are also active participants in choirs. There are at East four choirs for these two grades. The girls meet under the direction of Miss Johns, while the boys are directed by Mr. Burrows. For concerts the girls wear dark shirts and white blouses and the boys wear maroon robes with white collars. The Boys Octette is composed of boys for the Eighth Grade Boys Choir. East is proud of the accomplishments of its five Junior High Choirs. 30
