Auburn Academy Singers, most recent musical group, enhanced religious and secular programs. Choral Groups Part¬ icipate in Sacred and Secular Activities The all senior Auburn Academy Sing¬ ers proved their definite right to exist¬ ence in this, their first year. Each member was chosen for his serious in¬ terest in music and for his musical abil¬ ity. Spicy rhythm and a lyric blend characterized their sound. Singers pro¬ vided music for evangelistic meetings, a Sweetheart banquet, and gave several concerts in the Conference. The 30-voice Sylvan Chorus has been active every year since 1954, when Mr. Paul Coleman organized an ensemble to sing responses for church services. The group toured through the conference this year, and gave voice to many inspiring anthems of praise and lively secular songs. All classes contributed singers to the Sylvan Chorus. Both organizations were accompanied by Jan Parker, who gave untiringly of her time during practice and on tour. As they toured, the Sylvan Chorus formed a more concise picture of Auburn Academy for many people.
