La Vonne Bessert, Duane Knoell, and Fred Peter- son lorm the madrigal choir which was organ- ized again this year alter a lapse oi about four years. Songs peculiar to groups of this kind are gay. light English folk-tunes. fContinued from page 262 the opening and closing sections of the sixty minute musical, While various small groups, girls' ensemble, boys' ensemble, and madrigal group were each respon- sible for one portion. Three weeks after the Ioslyn recital the choir presented its Plnnual Easter Vesper program in the senior high auditorium Keeping in the spirit of the lenten season early birds from the choir sang several hymns in the city-Wide sunrise service at the Methodist Church on Easter morning. Selected from the choir to form the girls' octet are: Ioan Schurman. Marian Hespen, Hnnette Smith. Harriet Bump, Edith Growcock. La Toi Thomsen, Patty Hintz, and Delores Koza. Page 28 By receiving a superior rating in the district music contest at Fremont on Plpril 18 and 19, the choir gained further pres- tige and added more laurels to its al- ready outstanding record. With the help and ingenuity ot the instrumental instruc- tor, Walt Olsen, Mr. Vail planned a con- cert early in May which was quite unique for Fremont. Both organizations, band and choir, were placed on risers with the choir on the stage and the band just be- low. Each group presented individual se- lections and then united for three spec- tacular numbers concluding with The Spirit of Music. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and on May l8, the 1946-47 choir sang together as a group for the last time at the Baccalaur- eate Services. So another year was over but not lor- gotten. Vivid memories ot past perform- ances, applause, audiences, and the thrill oi being a choir member remained. Con- tributing to the success of the organiza- tion on many songs were the very com- petent soloists, Harriet Bump, Eugene Lottis, and lohn Carlson. Traditional melodies such as Erie Canal , Beautiful Savior, The Lord Bless You and Keep You, and Now Let Every Tongue Pldore Thee retained their popularity, but new selections were also introduced. Included in the choir's varied repertoire were Five Maris Stella, Oh, Soldier, Soldier, Cindy, There is a Balm in Gilead, P1louette, Set Down Servant, l-Iospodi Pomilui, and Little David, Play on Your Harp. Some songs were learned and sung by the choir just for the pleasure to be derived from sing- ing and were never presented to the public.

tidy' MU ICAL lVlITE by KATHERINE KOLLMEYER '47 Mighty voices from musical mites result in a harmonious and talented Iunior High Choir. Under the direction of Miss Ger- trude Scheuneman, the choir made four public appearances during the year. Sixty-five members represent lunior High's largest vocal group Whose chief assignment was to serve as a background for the Iunior lamboree, annual lunior High School program. Ptttempting to read seven part music for the first time this year the group did an excellent job to uphold the standard of the Iunior High music department. Girls' sextet, boys' octet, mixed vocal ensemble, and girls' glee added variety to the department program. Ot these small groups the girls' sextet, whose picture ap- pears on this page, was frequently called upon to entertain the high school crowd at the Eagles and various adult groups. Hnother popular group, the boys' octet, who developed their talents by diligent outside practice, added the lighter touch to many of the lunior High convocations with their versatile repertoire of songs. ln- troduced as a new group this year was mixed vocal ensemble of sixteen selected voices. Since this group wasyso e thusi- astically received, it will b ome per- manent addition to t e vo de rtment.
