Goodrich Choir Means cTalent' The Goodrich High School Choir has ex- hibited a reputation for being exceptionally tal- ented and well mannered. They have appeared at various occasions to present concerts that have caused good feeling among its audience. The choir began practicing hard from the first day they met to assure the best performance in, Of Thee l Singn. Many talented individuals make up the choir and are proud to belong to an organiza- tion of such high standing. This year was the first year that the A Cappella choir made a Christmas record. The practice for the record and the recording sessions involved out of school time which was willingly spent by all of the members and the end result was a self reward for a job well done. At the choral clinic at Appleton this year Daniel Moe, a well known composer, stated that the Goodrich Choir exhibited their talents suc- cessfully and performed with a great sense of pride. i l i

Band members joined the orchestra when ever a concert was being presented. 3 Musical Experience Sought Yakamashi!', 'gStop when I doll' 'gWhy don't you ever practice?', These are among the many statements that can be heard issuing forth from Room 162 every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during 2nd hour. This is when the orchestra meets under the direction of Mrs. James Grine. The orchestra is composed of 21 string players and a few band members who show up at infrequent intervals. Many things were accomplished in orchestra this year. Two concerts were given after many long, strenuous hours of practice. Many students were involved in solos or string quartets for the district contest at Menasha in April. The big event of the year was a Held trip in November to Chicago to hear the Chicago Symphony Orchestra play. 110 Concentration on your music and the conductor is all it takes.
