Each morning at eight-fifteen, a hardy group of Edmondson songsters, under the direction of Mrs. Chester, commences to exercise their vocal chords in preparation for performances in assem- blies and other school functions. The group in- cludes members of the music major course and others who just enjoy singing as an extracurricu- lar activity. Each section of the chorus-alto, soprano, second soprano, tenor, and bass, has a leader who is a music major. Opening the assembly program for the year with an assembly sing, the choir entertained the student body with a spirited rendition ol' Sleigh Ride, Inch Worm, and Plymouth Rock. The high point of their excellent Christ- mas program was the Hallelujah Chorus from I-Iandel's Messiah Their first outside performance of the year was Have Music - a program for the Uplands lYomen's Club. In March the annual high school music festival, held at Eastern High School, gave the choir a chance to participate in a city-wide concert. broadening their experience and giving them a chance to compare their achievements with those ol other schools' choral groups. The year's musi- cal activities were culminated by the choir's tak- ing part in the first commencement program. Believing that singing the Hnest choral music will build a better world understanding, the choir promoted musical enjoyment and interest among the entire studentibody through their singing of all types ol' musical literature. Thev have been an outstanding part ol' our school life this year. Having been in existence only two years, the choir now consists ol' about ninety mixed voices and is steadily improving in qualitxi.

Starting early in the fall, the yearbook staff arranged picture schedules, planned layouts, and worked out the theme for the book. Having con- tributed to Edrnondson's first annual, they had had experience with a publication of this type and, this year, undertook a larger book with a stiff cover. A summer supplement made it pos- sible to include all the year's activities. Last year in the Columbia Scholastic Press .Xs- sociation judging, The View earned a first place rating. After such a good beginning, the editors renewed their efforts to publish a memorable ac- count of our days at Edmondson. Not all the work ran smoothly. Many of the pictures were hard to crop, and sometimes copy came in late. Countless problems also faced the business staff in selling advertisements. Y Hard work, long hours, and many cokes went into the production of The View, but each staff member agrees, It was worth all the trouble.
