2' ' l 24 Esrrr: YEAR BooK V Estee Choir Less than live months ago the Estee Junior High School Choir was organ- ized. It is under the direction of Miss Laura May Lehman. The choir has eighty-four members, most of whom were chosen last fall from two hundred and fifty applicants. Since then it has been necessary for some of the original members to leave the choir but substitutes have been made by admitting those best qualified because of natural ability, skill in read- ing music and dependability. On March 5, 1935, the choir gave an audition in room 110. Mr. Markam and Mr. Stone. from Schenectady, were present. They thought that we would make a good hit for Gloversville so. they nxed a program for us on March 30 at 7:00 till 7:30 over WGY in the All Star Revue program. x Inasmuch as the Estee choir was organized less than five months ago, this early recognition of its artistic standards and attainments is the cause of great enthusiasm to the choir mem- bers. All of the music sung by the choir is arranged for soprano, second so- prano, alto and bass. The choir sang O Silent Night , by Brahms, Dedi- cation , by Franz, I'll Sing Thee Songs of Araby , by Clay and The Pirate , by Baldwin. Two of these songs were sung a capella while The Pirate and I'll Sing Thee Songs of Araby was ac- companied by the WGY string or- chestra. . Most generally, choirs that sing over the radio have colors they wear. Es- tee's colors are green and gold but it would look terrible, as Miss Lehman Range ,Rhythm said, for a choir especially, to wear colors of green and goldg so we wore colors of blue and white. The girls wore dark colored skirts and either white blouses or white sweaters. The boys wore dark colored pants, white shirts and black. bow ties. Gmagine boys wearing bow ties instead of neck ties.J Some of the pupils' parents took the choir members to Schenectady. We started at 3:15 and arrived in Schenec- tady at 4:40, We then at a light lunch at the restaurant, then we went to the Rice Hall where we practised singing through the microphone and with the orchestra until about 6:45. We went on the air at 7:00 and after that the choir and the Rice Hall audience of four hundred and fifty were invited to watch a G. E. demonstration. We had a won- derful time and arrived home about 9:30. i : Members of the Choir Shirley Abbott, Jeanette Ackel, Mar- cus Allen, Betty Armstrong, Mike Am- brosino, Dorothy Bentley, Roger Blinn, Betty Bowler, Jane Broadbent, Rose cawley, Helen Chatterton, Betty cher- wynd, Doris Clancy, Marie Clancy, Earl Craig, Ann Davis, Elaine Demos, Au- tilia DeRosa, James Donovan, Viola Dopp, Donald Dunham, Edith Dye, Eleanor Dye, Buddy Ehle, Jean Fallis, Natalie Finn, Virginia Ferguson, Louis Gattie, Russell Gilbert, Arthur Gena- tiempo, Betsy Green, Eunice Graff.
