Vocal students of which there are one hundred, flock to room thirty-seven to exercise their lungs on a few songs. Groups which assemble within these resounding walls are the choir, girls glee club, boys glee club, and small ensembles such as octettes, sextettes, quartets, and trios. The music these groups sing varies to include folk songs of other countries along with many folk songs of America, sacred and secular anthems, classical songs by composers of renown, spiritual and ballad. They also sing songs by composers of the day, patriot itic songs of our country, novelty and popular songs. 36This year was the fifth consecutive year that the choir pre- sented both a Christmas and a Spring Concert at the V.A. Hospital in Sioux Falls, Canton was very proud of Drew Jdhnson, one of the eight stu- dents selected from the choir to attend All State Chorus. He was selected to be the soloist with the chorus of six hundred voices gathered together at Mitchell. The choir finished a successful year singing for Baccalaure- ate Services and for commencement at which time they ended in a fitting rendition of '’The Benediction" by Lutrin. ■ This is one of the scenes taken from the spring concert held on May 16th. The theme was based on religion as shown. On the opposite page is pictured the Negro Spiritual theme with a boy's quartet singing one of the featured songs. 3738penter.
