Brooke. Their accomplishments this year again maintained the excellent reputation that has been built down through the years by former members of this organization. Included in their repertoire this year were the Christmas Festival, the Easter program, 102 and the annual Variety Show. These, along with their other performances, were directed toward one major goal-the spring tour. The choir consists of ninety combined Junior and Senior boys and girls. lt is the objective of many students beginning in their junior high days to become a member ofthe Defiance High School choir. Participants are selected from Glee Club and Mixed Chorus which serve as proving grounds for the choir. Donald Fink served as accompanist this year.

In this year's Variety Show, the choir sub- stituted a great variety of talent for the theme they usually follow. The two-night performance featured the entire choir in Winter Wonderland and Oklahoma, two production numbers which were very well received. Tops on the program were Al Clingaman's Jazz Combo, and Manana, a novelty num- ber with a south of the border flavor that was deftly executed by a group of Senior boys. Soloists who also drew much applause were Carolyn Ingle, who played a vibraharp solo, Betty Richard, who sang One Night of Love , Judy Richards, who presented a piano solo, and Don Fink, who sang The Tender Trap. The stage settings were done by the D.H.S. art department under the direction of Mr. Roger Noffsinger. Mr. Richard Wohn was in charge of the production and business. The entire production was under the direction of Mr. Leslie Brooke. 103
