'IN v Nl VA A AV Do-Re-Mi ,, Welcome variety in nearly all of the choir's performances this year was provided by these girls who constitute the combined ensembles. All rehearsals are carried out on their own time when they meet once a week after school. At the district solo and ensemble festival none of them took lower than an excellent rating. Ever hear a choir member spouting stories of funny experiences at performances, the friendly rivalry be- tween the tenors and the choir, and the fun at rehearsals? He's right, it is fun. This year, the choir sang for the Birmingham Newcomer's Club, High-12, the Christmas assembly, and many other occasions. Members of the big happy family are, Row 1: S. Bernat, M. Crook, B. Gowans, C.

BHS is proud of its practical, realistic ap- proach to education. Mr. Parry volunteers some driving tips for Sue Wilson, while Jocelyn Watt and Anita Wood apparently back him up.
