As voices raise in ioyous singing, the many hours of practice and hard work of choir members are revealed to the public. Membership in a Cape pella choir is an honor and privilege given to 'lhose who show special interest and talent in vocal music. Participants desire to learn more about tone and pitch qualities: however, these basic interests are only a part ot the entirety oi music. Better character trails developed and mainlained throughout the year are seriousness ot purpose, initiative, and perhaps the most vital, the feeling ol responsibility for the choir as a whole. Special robes are worn by members, malcinq the music of this closely knit group even more impressive. The choir lakes part in all productions of the vocal music department and usually presents the highlight ol the various programs. This is illus- trated by the choir's interpretation of the Christ- mas story, given during vespers in December, and the Song of Easter , composed ot Negro Spirituals, which was presented at the March Show.
