The organiza tion sings at all school assemblies and fre ' quently journey to other city schools in small or large groups to entertain at assemblies or take part in special programs. T Visitors often make such remarks as: Did you hear their fine harmony?! , and, What an excellent blending of voices! This is only one of the regular chorus groups that meets each day for an hour of singing and often after school hours for spe cial practices with Mrs. Eva Brooks. Mrs Brooks trains not only this singing group, but she also has charge of several of the school s singing groups. Q ,Nl V . 1
