The junior and Senior High Chorus each met twice a week with an ex- tra day set aside for a combined choral sing. The Boys and Girls Glee Club each met once a week. The Junior and Senior High Chorus combined made a total of sixty seven mem- bers, of which fourteen were first sopranos, fourteen were second sopranos, fifteen were altos, nine were tenors, and fourteen were basses. The Girls' Glee Club consisted of forty three members and the Boys' Glee Club of twenty members. The first public performance was a Min- strel Show under the direction of Miss Plevock on January 14.
