Students from the University as well as Mitchell people are combined under the leadership of Dean Beecher in the three groups: sponsors, orchestra, and chorus members The purpose of the organization is to sponsor musical programs by the chorus and orchestra and to bring in outside artists on recital programs. Every year the chorus and orchestra combined give two programs. Handel's Messiah is presented in the Corn Palace at Christmas time and last year the Elijah was given in the spring. Three choruses accompanied by soloists and the Philharmonic Orchestra made this an outstanding production. A high school chorus of one hundred fifty voices sang parts from memory and the A Cappella Choir took several special songs. Soloists were Mrs. Paul Mac- Collin from Sioux City: Mrs. H, G. Schwartz, Redfield: Thomas Williams, Mitchell: and Charles Lutton, Chicago, with Laura Ann Larson carrying the parts of the youth. In addition, the Philharmonic Orchestra presents two separate programs each year. Recent artists who have been introduced by the Society are, Carl Scheurer. violinist: Carlo Fischer, 'cellistg and Reinald Werrenrath, baritone.
