They Believe in Music, So They Sang. The 100 voice Senior High Concert Choir kept busy this year singing at the Fall Concert in conjunction with the orchestra and band, and the Steve Chamberlain Memorial Concert in March. The choir received a first division rating at the District Choral Festival, March 15th, and participated in a joint exchange concert with Livonia Franklin High School on May 28th and 30th. This year's choir was instrumental in establishing a memorial fund in memory of Stephen Chamberlin. The fund was used for Interlochen Music Camp Scholarships and for a special Piano Music Lab that was established at the high school. Mr. David Parrish 128

Girls' Singing Charms Listeners The girls in the Girls' Ensemble were especially devoted to the group, since it wasn't a class and practices were held before and after school. The group was made up of twelve girls selected from either the Girls' Choir or the Concert Choir. They were very active this year with close to 20 performances, including school concerts, service clubs, and other groups which met at a variety of places such as the Country Club and the Park Place Hotel. Special arrangements added to the effectiveness of their programs. Choral-Aires Work to Uphold Fame Carefully selected voices of twelve young men and women comprise the Choralaires, a popular singing group. They performed for many conventions which met in Traverse City (as well as other groups.) A major group was the Michigan Bankers' Association Convention. They also appeared at all the principle choir concerts throughout the year. (For members, see club index.) 130
