Its performing season started with a series of Christmas Con¬ certs at neighboring schools. The holiday programs over, work began in preparation for the District Contest in March. In 1967 at this event the group received a rating of Good. Concluding the year ' s activities were the Variety Show and the Spring Concert. Sixteen persons comprised the Mixed Ensemble which represented the school at a wide variety of functions. Mem - bers performed for civic clubs, appeared in concerts at Christmas and in the spring, and took part in the Gradua¬ tion Exercises at Whitley. In February the Ensemble also competed in the Solo and Ensemble Contest, at which last year ' s group received a rating of Superior. In March representatives of the chorus participated, with those of other schools from North Carolina, in the All-State Choral Festival at Greensboro. 30
