Qdda acemffe oise Iunior College is proud of its Girls Ensemble for it was started the same year as the college and has been active ever since. The only requirement for a girl to be a member is that she enjoy singing. Iackie Sherburn. Mary Cochran, and Betty Link sang as a trio this year while Louel Iohnson accompanied them at the piano. Mrs. Lucille T. Forter directed the ensemble. Building BIC'c reputation among the townspeople was one of the accomplishments of the girls, for they entertained at several civic and church organizations during the year as well as singing at some of our own assemblies. s
