The Chorus chose the following for their officers this year: Charles McNames, president; Jerry Weaver, vice-president; and Barbara Welsh, secretary-treasurer. The Chorus entered the contest in the spring and participated in the Spring Con- cert given in the Byron High School Auditorium. A smaller group sang for the P.T.A. Christmas program and the Chorus went caroling. Out of this group, certain members went to the District Solo and Ensemble Con- test at Freeport. Barbara Spencer, Mary Smith, Eleanor Hagerty, Helen Fleming, Eve- lyn Cain, Clyde Leary, Lee Campbell, and Roger Myers sang vocal solos. Donita Camp- bell, the chorus accompanist, played a piano solo and the Girls’ Sextette, composed of Barbara Spencer, Sally Garner, Barbara Welsh, Eleanor Hagerty, Colleen and Evelyn Cain sang two vocal numbers.

It began last year with about eighteen members, and this year has climbed to twenty-six. The boys’ favorite number is Semper Paratus. Most of their time was spent working on their parts for mixed chorus. The officers for this year are: Bill Champion, president; John Cassell, vice-presi- dent; Charles McNames, secretary-treasurer. Francis Noyes is reporter. The Boys’ Chorus joined with the Girls’ Chorus and entered the District Music Contest at Freeport. Their instructor is Mr. Ulery. Donita Campbell is the accompanist.

Although they were few, twenty-two in number, they accomplished a great deal under the competent leadership of Mr. Ulery. Their theme song, “On Byron,” gave courage and pep to our Basketball Champs. A spring concert was given, and they displayed their talent at the contest. Due to the lack of instrumentation, music selections were limited. Most of the year was spent working on marches, but once in a while they swung out on such songs as “Deep Purple.” The officers are: President, Jim Hendee; vice-president, Forest Dewar; and sec- retary-treasurer, Mary Smith.
