Two sleepy-eyed groups, the high school band and chorus, practiced at eight o'clock rehearsals two mornings a week with high hopes for vast accomplishments. A pleasant and hard-working instructor, Mr. F. B. Mc- Curry, provided the needed incentive to sing and play for bigger and better achievements. Greenwood's ninety-three-voice chorus presented their traditional Christmas can- tata, Fred Waring's Song of Christmas, on December 15 at an assembly. This was the sixth consecutive year that this musical Work and its scriptural narrative had been given. Then began the long hours of practice surrounding preparations for the annual state music festival held each spring in Col- umbia. Not only selecting but memorizing all songs and learning to present them with stage appeal were the festival objectives. Always eager to learn from Mr. McCurry are the mem bers of the percussion section: Jeanette Rea, Nancy Thompson, and David Hudson.
