Davidson, chorus instructor, also directed the Girl's Glee Club, Boy's Glee Club, the Madrigals and other ensembles. The mixed chorus, Girl's Glee Club and the Madrigals presented a Christmas program com- prised of both new and old Christmas melodies. A spring concert was also presented by the groups. Vocal numbers which had been entered in the Spring Music Festival were featured. Many honors were received by the department at the Festival. Along with the many different programs given throughout the year, the chorus presented an Easter program over a Wichita radio station.
