Both of these groups sang at a spring Concert on March 15 and at the Clinic on May 10. After one year of being a member of either of these groups a student is eligible to join either Mixed Chorus or Advanced Girls’ Glee Club. The Mixed Chorus and Girls’ Glee Club presented their annual Christmas Concert on December 21. They also participated in the Spring Concert and the Music Clinic. The Mixed Chorus were presented at the Woman’s Club and in a Sheridan High School Assembly program. The Advanced Girls’ Glee Club also sang at the May Day Fete.
