Here the group received an excellent rating. The chorus gave a concert at Fayette. In exchange the Fayette band played later in the year tor an hour at Pettisville School. The group also appeared at the Fulton County teachers' meeting in November and the choral spring concert. This year Mr. William Stahl, director, divided the choir into two different sections, thus making it easier for him to direct. A big gap will occur in the chorus next year be- cause of the 26 senior voices that will be missing. 45 JUNIOR CHOIR Sixty voices made up the iunior chorus this year. Students who par- ticipated in this group were chosen from grades 7, 8, and 9. This group sang several numbers at the spring choral concert. This is a big stepping stone for future high school choir members. -me .,.. twftttiiirm, aft' '- y l 5 + i , 51 i 3 t r 2 - A L.. .QU 'W wth 1, . if! ,1 - ,st '39 As.

The varsity basketball team under the coaching of Mr. James l-larris, had an outstanding record this year, They won the county league championship with a perfect record ot ten wins and no losses. This was the first league championship Pettisville had won since the V942-43 season. The overall season record including tournament play was T4 wins and no losses. Pettisville had considerable bad luck this year, as they lost two games against Delta in the tourna- ment and about two or three games during the sea- son on foul shots. Although they outscored and out- played the opponent in each game, the bonus foul shot rule, which was capitalized on by the other team, beat them. The varsity team this year, was composed of seven seniors. These seniors will be missed, as the number of iuniors on the squad was small this year.
