SENIOR GIRLS-’ CHORUS H orty ' FOUr girls joined the senior chorus this semester. They decided it would be ■j Lin to have an assembly of community singing for the seniors who were not enrolled in music. The theme, “Down South” was chosen because southern songs are well -known and well-liked. The Senior Boys’ Chorus joined with the girls and together they led in the singing. Song slides were used for the community songs. Special numbers were added with effective projected scenery depicting the south. The most lively number on the program was the Virginia Reel done by the girls from the physical education department. Girls ' Glee Qlub Later in the term the chorus sang for Open House night in an act entitled, “Scenes of Other Lands”. Songs were sung representing Sweden, Italy, India, and Mexico. The most interesting performance of the term was a radio program given over station KRE. Not many of the pupils had ever performed over the radio before, and found it very entertaining and educational. They sang a group of Christmas carols. They repeated these and sang others for the Christmas Pageant. The girls enjoyed planning these programs and performing in them. Almost all the girls hope to continue their chorus work next term. — Lorraine Johnson SENIOR BOTS-’ CHORUS ■ he senior boys’ chorus of twenty members met twice a week this semester.
