I. Sparks. Programs featuring piano solos, singing and In- strumental solos and groups were given throughout the year before an audience of faculty combers, stu- dents and parents. The ourpose of these informal recitals was to develop poise and accustom everyone to oerformlng before an audience. Drills such as bouncing a rubber ball and writing the accidentals in time to music were also used to develon rhythm. Mote reeding was stressed, and the use of a note finder was very helpful. All chorus members know every musical character and every major key. Hie chorus made its first nubile appearance at a Thanksgiving program. The songs 0od of Our Fathers and Home on the Range were chosen for this nro- gram. Joy Peabody sang a solo nart In the farmer.
