After the Spring Concert, the audience left with a lasting memory of the beauty of male voices. The Girls Choir is composed of forty-three Voices and has worked extremely hard to build a good three- part ensemble. This choir appeared in the Christgnas assembly and made another appearance at the end of the semester. Miss Matlack can well be proud of both of these fine vocal groups.

Instrumental Music The quality of our fine school band is kept to such a hiah standard because ul tho very excellent developmental proaram which Mr. McCoy has initiated and carried on since he joined our faculty. Those who show the sliahtest desire to master a musical instrument are immediately aiven every opportunity to apply their eneraies toward that purpose. Individual instruction and practice, alona with opportunity to play with the Second Band keeps the loeainnina student on his toes and his interest at a hiah pitch. The lack of suitable practice rooms has hampered the proqress of some students but it is hoped that the plans which have been drawn up for the construction of ncw music quarters lor Feitshans will soon he carried to completion. The aoal of playinyl with 'l'l'llQ BAND keeps con- tinually danalina before the heainners' eyes and they S' practice for hours, perhaps not prettily, but at least earnf estly, until the feel and touch and everything about their new instrument seems to become a part of them. Vtlhen .hw Vyhy, y y they are ripe they move up to the first aroup and take their place in Sprinafields most accomplished high school band. Student leaders and instructors from the first hand aid Mr. McCoy immeasurahly tri the rapid development of the ioeainners. MR. MCCOY ,,. . X . l ..lQ, ltIllX. 't l .
