Senior Singing Group ' T ' HIS year Senior Singing Group was composed of eighteen enthusiastic girls, who wished to sing for pleasure rather than perfection. The meet- ings were held once a week, and they became social gatherings as well as rehearsals. In December Senior Singing Group sang Christ- mas carols in chapel and gave to the Dwight Stu- dent Body a feeling of the Yuletide spirit. In the Spring we sang at the Sophomore Dance and brought cheer and happiness into the hearts of Dwight dancers. This year, although Senior Singing Group did not attain its ultimate goal, we feel that it has im- proved considerably. We all hope that it will be- come a more significant factor in the history of Dwight. 84
