, CTap . . tap . . tapi . . May W l have your attention, please? We'll start with the tenors on page four. As all choir members know, this is the usual proceedure at the beginning of every rehearsal. These second period rehearsals surely leave us with many happy memories . . . fall try-outs . . . slightly bewildered new mem- bers . . . the horrors! of initiation . . . Pop Grender's jokes . . . the fun we have singing at other schools, for Kiwanis and other meetings . . . Remember how silly the new members looked during their all-day initiation at school? . . . and how glad everyone was to see Demmie CMr. Dimorierl back with us? . . . Remember the night we sang over the radio at Christmas time? . . . Yes, we do have a lot of fun together, but were serious, too. Remember our energetic struggles with Springtide ? Hard as the going might have been, it's really a nice feeling when we finish learning a song . . . the satisfaction of accomplishment. Remember the Christmas and Spring Con- certs? . . . how we all crowded into the wings to hear the various parts of the program . . . the tedious waiting, wondering if we were going on a spring trip . . . the dreaded thought ot leaving choir after diploma day. Qld members who have graduated often say that choir is the part of school they remember best. Were beginning to understand the reason. Roberta Martin.
