Choir lnspircs Vocal Talent The music department of the high school is one of our most active organizations. The courses offered are vocal music and A Cappella Choir taught by Mr. Mervin Gottshall. Mr. Arthur Crouthamel, new at the high school this year. teaches music appreciation, harmony, and the extra-curricular Junior-Senior Chorus. Harmony is a major credit and is offered for the first time this year. The A Cappella Choir is a select group of Iuniors and Seniors chosen from vocal music classes. These groups put on two main programs a year: the Christmas Concert and the Spring Festival.

Another organization serving Abington High School is the Key Club. The club, sponsored by the Clcnside Kiwanis Club, and founded on the same principles which have made Kiwanis Inter- national a very successful service organization, stands ready at all times to help the faculty and principal in any worthwhile project, and has many times in the past several years contributed toward the welfare of Abington High School. An example ol' Key Club service was the supervision of traffic during the open house series prior to the dedica- tion of our new building. Officers of the Key Club: lim Bohr, Treasurerg Lloyd Bobb, Presidentg Terry Stoltz, Secretaryg Fred McDowell, Vice-President.
