CHORAL SPEAKING Choral speaking, under the able direction of Miss Hueston, entered another successful year with an entirely new group of students. As its first appearance, the I-lallowe'en as- sembly, a selection from The Congof, told in pitch darkness, was hair-raising. The Christmas assembly saw the group place everyone in a thoughtful mood with a selection from the birth and life of Jesus. The last appearance of the year was on Lincoln's birthday when Lincoln's last speech was ably delivered at a gathering of the entire school.
