Choir Beginning the year by singing for the parents of Sault High students during American Education Week, the senior choir, directed by Earl P. Thomas and accompanied by Delwyn Elliott, have added many performances to their credit this year. On another occasion the group of 70 singers were presented to the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs who had much praise for their singing. January 20 marked the date of the Winter Carnival concert in which the songsters collaborated with the band in its annual performance given before an audience of some 800 persons. The program included the selections The Prayer , The Sleigh . and Noble Cain's Music of Life . Benefitting directly from this concert, the choir was given a set of collapsible bleachers, which require less than five minutes to set up. Later, a collapsible di- rector's podium was ordered. Much was added to the Easter program by the singing of the blue-robed students, whose presentation of O Morn of Beauty and Beautiful Savior was said to be the best of this year's work. Both Sault High and Collegiate students were thrilled by the choir's performance in the annual exchange pro- gram with the Canadian school. At this time the singers presented probably the most difficult as well as beautiful numbers ever attempted. New selections included negro spirituals, Ole Ark's A Moverin and Joshua Pit de Battle ob Jericho , and Czechoslovakian Dance Song . A large part of the entertainment for the P.T.A. con- vention was provided by the choir who sang at main sessions and other meetings. An interesting feature of this group's work lies in the fact the majority of the selections sung were chosen from the 1938-'39 national contest list. The numbers were rated as very difficult. for class A schools only . Said Mr. Thomas concerning the ability of the chorus: I would not be afraid to enter this group in competition with any in the national music contests. Thanks go to the Fireside Club of the Methodist Church through whose efforts new robes were completed. making a total of 74. Chorusters Ninth and tenth grade choruses, under the direction of Mr. Thomas, have completed an interesting and a profitable year. Composed of about 175 members each, the groups meet each Friday, the freshmen, first period and the sopho- mores, the second. At the beginning of the year the songsters were given musical tests to determine how much musical knowledge they possessed. They also saw a number of musical movies during the year which they enjoyed and which helped them in their work. The main purpose of the choruses. said Mr. Thomas. is not to teach part singing, but merely to provide recrea- tional singing. Students from these two groups have first chance at becoming members of the senior third hour chorus. The carol singers who performed at the Christmas vespers were girls chosen from these two choruses. The groups have no regular sheet music, but sing from song sheets prepared by Mr. Thomas, and from song books. Although the choruses have never performed in public. they were the nucleus of the singing at basketball games during the winter months. They help to foster school spirit by learning all school songs and yells. Page twenty-two
