The Tech Singers This year a new choral organization has been formed on campus, the Tech Singers. It has been found in the past that there were not enough choral or- ganizations on campus to satisfy the de- mands ol the many Tech students who desire to sing. The Singers were formed to offer another instrument for per- formance of great choral literature and to serve as a training choir for luture choir members. Their activities have been many and varied for a first year organization. The membership of 63 singers comes from the various schools in the college and most of their appearances this year have been in connection with the Tech Choir. As this organization grows in years it will be providing various pro- grams on its own in the immediate area of Lubbock. Tech Male Chorus Tech's Male Chorus has been formed alter a lapse of some eight years without such an organization on cam- pus. Although their activities have not been great this year it is felt that they have made much progress and will soon knit into an organization which will be in great demand throughout the area. Girls Glee Club The Girls Glee Club is new on cam- pus this year and has made some prog- ress toward providing another medium for performing great choral literature. It is felt as this choir continues to grow and to be recognized as a choral organ- ization on campus that it will find its place of service to the college and the Lubbock area. Maclrlgal Singers Tech's Madrigal Singers are ten young women and men selected from the personnel of the Tech Choir. They obtain their places in the organization after extensive auditions. This group fills a much needed gap in the educa- tion of music majors, singing literature from the early masters in authentic costumes. They have been in great de- mand in the area singing for music clubs and women's study groups. Music for thc 20-plus numbers in the Varsity Show were provided by the Tech Orchestra. It was the largest pit orchestra used in the annual affair. Songs were written by Gilbert and or- chestrated Aby Paul Ellsworth, orchestra director, and two Tech graduates, George Mellott and Gary Garner.
