Totaling thirty-one appearances, the George Fox a cappella choir presented a program of early poly- phonic music, numbers from the Romantic Era, music of Russian Derivation, anthems, and a group of Negro Spirituals to Oregon, Washington, and Idaho audi- ences. About noon on March 16, choir members loaded packed suitcases onto a chartered bus scheduled to take them through a rigorous concert tour of three states which included not only the formal concerts, but the humor and surprises that make a trip of this nature so unique. Sprinkled throughout the year were the hours of tedious practice, choir breakfast, election of officers, annual choir banquet in Portland and the many ap- pearances in churches and high schools.
