These organizations, the Choir, Glee Club, and Chorus, provide a meeting place for girls with a common interest in music, as well as giving students an opportunity to learn a varied repertoire of music. There are many events during the school year in which the choral groups or representatives of these groups participate. During the annual State Teachers Convention, the Maryland State Chorus always presents an interesting and original pro- gram. The Chorus consists of members from each of the high school choral group throughout the state. Eastern usually has two members from each choral group participat- ing in this program. Perhaps the highlight of the musical year is the Christmas concert in which the choral groups of Eastern and City College join forces to present this beautiful performance. 30 Each of Eastern's choral groups is composed of approxi- mately eighty members. The Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Anne Codd, spe- cializes in religious music and show tunes. Under the leader- ship of Elinor Schupple, president, Bernadine George, vice- presidenl, Anne Clare Thomas, secretary, and Barbara Upperco, treasurer, the Choir meets several mornings a week, at 8 A. M. The Chorus, under the leadership of Mrs. Helena John, sings all types ol' music. The officers of the Chorus are Mary Ellen Snyder, president, Connie Rossmann, vice-president,' Maria Guercio, secretary, and Kitsa Mitsos, treasurer. The Chorus meets on two afternoons. Mrs. Lucille Masson directs the Glee Club, whose officers are: Anita Marshall, president, Anne Hottel, vice-president,- Sally Pritchett, secretary, and Mona Erichsen, treasurer. In this way the outside music activities of Eastern have become an important part of the life of each Eastern student.
