Although it did not meet as regularly as other groups its activities included entering the annual District Music Contest and taking part in the spring concert presented annually by the musical organizations of Byron High. In addi- tion a small informal group of the Mixed Chorus pictured American teenagers singing carols around a fire-place at the P. T. A. Christmas program. Loretta Cassell, Joyce Hayes, Dora Comstock, Helen Fleming, Eleanor Hagerty, and Roger Myers competed in the vocal solo contests in the District. TWENTY-SEVEN

Meeting for one period each week, the group practiced on old songs and new alike in an effort to determine the best grouping for part work. At these meetings Margaret Bridgeland acted as pianist. One healthy note can be injected into the picture. Of the twenty-three students pictured above, twelve are freshmen. This interest in vocal work, if it can be continued ' next year, would lead to a larger and more active organization. In addition to the twelve freshmen, there are six sophomores and juniors who should return next year to keep the chorus alive and active. TWENTY-SIX

The purpose of the club is to develop a practical interest in photography. Monthly meetings were held in which members were taught how to take, develop, and print pictures. Colored moving pictures and slides were shown at the meetings. Monthly snap shot contests were also held. The Club had the largest number of members of any club in school, because any student was eligible for membership. At the first meeting the following officers were elected: president, Wesley Palmer; vice-president, Jo Love; secretary, Barbara Welsh; treasurer, Mable Ray. TWENTY-EIGHT
