Chorus The Chorus of the G. P. H. S.. made up of forty-eight students, has held a very important place this year, and Miss Messenger, the High School Musical Director, and Helen Witherspoon, accompanist, deserve much praise for their work. More credit is given this year for music and an added interest has been taken among the students of our school. No one is compelled to take music and that they do it “cause they like it can be surmised from hearing any of their well rendered songs. Their selections have been of the highest standard, many being taken from well known operas. Some of their work during the past year has been spent on the following compositions: Song of the Vikings Fanning “Revel of the Leaves” Bradley “Fairy Land Waltz Stearns “Blue Danube -------------------------------------------- Strauss “Song Book Zeiner “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep - Willard “Pilgrim's Chorus I annhauser Wagner “Anvil Chorus IL Trovadore ------------------------- Verdi The Clang of the Force --------------------------------- Vaughn “Over the Dancing Sea” ---------------------------------- Conway “Bridal Chorus Rose Maiden T.
