This selected group was trained during the fall months to present a series of concerts in the spring. Sacred music made up the entire choir program. Concerts were given in all the nearby Friends churches, many local Evangelical churches, appearances were made in the local Youth for Christ rally as well as similar rallies in other cities. The choir made two extended trips during the year. A tour was made during Easter vacation when the. choir presented concerts in Boise, Nampa, Star, Home- dale, Melba and Greenlea ' f, Idaho. The group appeared at the Lizard Butte Easter sunrise service in Idaho. May 4 and 5 the choir journeyed to Tacoma, Washington, where three concerts were presented.

This followed the plan of the music department to present some well-known oratorio each year during the Lenten season. The oratorio was felt to have been appreciated in spite of the difficulties under which it was presented. The books were destroyed by the fire which struck the music department in Hoover Hail the night before. Many of the singers had been sleepless since the fire.
