The Vocal Department is frying' to do its share to keep America singing. The A Cappella Choir, directed by Mr. Robert H. Wing and composed of 106 youths, is Well-known in Grand Rapids as one of the finest and largest school choirs in the city. Their singing has kept numerous beautiful melodies alive in many hearts. Wherever they sing, at U.S.O. centers, business men's clubs, churches, schools, or on the air, they light the candle of hope and faith that America must have in order to win complete victory. One of the most successful performances ever presented by the music department was the joint band and choir Annual Spring Concert, April 9. The songs that came from the hearts and lips of the joyous young singers found their Way into the very being of the large, appreciative audience. Making a delightful program still more enjoyable was the appearance of Noble Cain, celebrated composer, conductor, and critic, who led the massed choir and band in one of his newest composi- tions, Ode to America, which closed a very impressive and enjoyable concert. But that Was not the end, for the refrain continually singing in the hearts of the Davis Tech choir is: Keep fighting, keep winning, keep singing, Americal Second Choir E FRONT ROW: F, Wlgightsel, G.
