West High School - Westward Ho Yearbook (Madison, WI)

A Cappella Choir "Hurry up, you'll be late for practice," was the way most choir members greeted each other. Special rehearsals were required to prepare for programs such as the Christmas Pageant, the Christmas Program, the Winter and Spring Con- certs, and the Pop Concert, Under the direction of Miss Marion Huxtable, the choir has again proved. itself worthy of praise. Assisting Miss Huxtable were Burr McWilliams, president, Dave Matson, vice-president, Marjorie Iackson, secretary, Beverly Iohn- son, treasurer, and librarians Mary Ellen Oren, Marilyn Oliver, Louisa Maloney, and Lois Fauerbach.
