Chorus To be a member of the Betohi chorus, a person must be of at least sophomore standing and able to pass a test on vocal requirements. This year forty-nine students participated in the work of the chorus. Every Tuesday and Thursday these people met to fill the South Assembly with melodious tones that echoed through the halls. The spotlight has not fallen to a great extent on the chorus this year. They have, however, accomplished some commendable results. On December 20, a cantata was presented to the public as a Christmas greeting. The chorus contributed their part towards the Spring Concert on April 28, by singing several numbers to an appreciative audience. On March 5, the chorus presented a few selections for the Woman’s Club at the Methodist church. On May 12, this group offered appropriate songs at the Baccalaureate service.
