The a cappella choir, rounding out its first year as an individual organization, has made great strides in musical accomplishment. Practicing daily, members really earn the half unit of credit allotted by the State Department of Education for this course. Adjustments were, of course, necessary in this first year in order to achieve the balance demanded by such an organization, even to the extent of using several girls for tenors. Progress was fast and positive, making pos- sible the entry into State District Music Competition at Capital University and also participation in the Annual Musical Festival held at Crestline, Where an evening of music was climaxed by a concert by the combined choirs of the three-hundred voices from Crestline, Shelby, Upper Sandusky, Bucyrus, and Mount Gilead. The choir robes used in the picture were loaned by the churches of Mt. Gilead. New robes have been purchased and the choir made its first appear- ance in them at the Spring Concert, May l9.
