Franklin Melody Makers 1. The Franklin Chorus is made up of selected eighth and ninth grade students, most of whom have been in chorus for three years. They began as a training choir and have prog- ressed to a performing group. The Ninth Grade Choir meets every day, and performs as a unit at each concert. The entire chorus has the opportunity to sing for outside activities, other than school concerts and assemblies, as the privilege arises. The many voices of Franklin are directed by Mrs. Ehinger. The language of tones belongs equally to all mankind, and melody Is the absolute language In which the musician speaks to every heart. Richard Wagner 2. The Seventh Grade Chorus is a selected group from each of our feeder schools. These students come to us from their respective schools very well prepared by their former instructors, ready to perform for the public. They do an ex- cellent job as they perform in two concerts in training for the Franklin Chorus. Of all noises I think music the least disagreeable Samuel Johnson 1816
