Chorus Entertains at School Programs The seventh and eighth grade chorus members en- joy singing and trying new music. This group is not really large but each member contributes his talent. Throughout the past school year, the Franklin chorus has presented many very interesting programs. The chorus is com- posed of eighth and ninth grade students. The director of the chorus, Miss Fleming, has spent many long hours selecting music that would please students, teachers and par- ents. The chorus meets to practice every other day in the regular school day. However, when the chorus was getting ready for the Thanks- giving and Christmas programs ,they came to school early so that they could have more practice time. This extra time spent certainly showed up in their excellent performances. The seventh and eighth grade chorus also under the direction of Miss Fleming has been busy this year. They have selected inter- esting songs to sing for their enjoyment. This group also performed at the Christmas program and did an excellent job. This group meets every week. Some of them sing for enjoyment while others are preparing for the ninth grade chorus. The Chorus has worked hard this year in preparing and presenting programs for the school. The present ninth grade students will miss presenting programs to the student body next year. They have had good experiences in performing before groups with this year ' s program of school musical programs. -
