The girls' chorus has thirty memhers,and theofficers are: Fern Arheiter, President, June Kenpfer, librarian, and Tillie Jo Hiser, reporter,secretary, and accompanist. Because of the war program, gas and tire rationing, etc., the chorus will he unable to attend anycontestthat may be given. However, Miss Gaunt and the girls are working hard to preeare a program for their firstpuhlic appearance as soon as the new auditorium is finished. As the annual must be in Hr. Spicth's hands before this program is presented, we shall outline the plansfor the program as they stand nt the present time. The part of the musical entertainment which the girls' chorus will present is entitled, nAn OldSouthern Albumn. Fern Arheiter, as the narrator, tells the story of each portrait in the album while the chorus members colorfully dressed in formnls, sing songs of the south.
