PRESENTING THE EDMONDSON HIGH SCHOOL CHOIR. Proving the motto of Edmondson., 4'EXcellence De- mands Sacrificef' the choir achieved a quality of excellence that only comes as the result of long hours of work. Often Mrs. Ceorganna Chester, the choir director, Mr. Edward Roberts, the accompanist, and the choir stayed after school long after most of the students had left. This they did while working for better and better quality. The choir again participated 'in the Music Festival to which all the school choirs in the city are invited. Our choir came away with honors and signs of steady improvement. The choir sang for community and civic groups creating good public relations for Edmondson. The thing that made choir members and leaders the happiest was the great increase in the number of boys in the choir. LISTEN T0 THOSE pear shaped tone of the choir as it sings at commencement.
