Some of the many activities they participated in were Sunday concerts, the annual spring con- cert, combined concerts with the choir for assem- blies, and a concert at Monroe High School. In March the band was host to Northfield High School for a combined concert and social event. later in the spring, they took part in the dis- trict and state music contests. In l953 they re- ceived an A rating in both. This year in place of a trip, the band held a banquet at the Auto- mobile Club followed by a dance to which each member brought a guest.

TSW' The choir has also appeared as a solo choir at the Spring Music Festival in Moorhead, Minnesota. Funds that made this trip possible were raised by the choir members through magazine sales, concert tickets, and the annual smor- gasbord. The Hylandaires, an inner choir of twenty voices, have appeared at Mt. Olivet Church, and have done caroling during the Christmas season at some of the city hospitals and railroad depots. Although membership in the choir in- volves hard work, many of the activi- ties are strictly for fun, such as the Choir- Band Halloween Party, and the Christ- mas banquet. CHOIR ROW Ill. S.
