This select group worked very hard throughout the year to make Guilford's A Cappella the best in the state. The choir per- formed several times during the school year: the Christmas Concert December 3, their own concert March 16, Baccalaureate, Commence- ment, plus several school assemblies. Apart from school performances, A Cappella also sang at church programs at Christmas and Easter. The choir's greatest achievement was being asked to sing in Chicago at Orchestra Hall on April 2. This performance also in- cluded a television appearance. This past school year proved to be a most rewarding one and set a goal to be broken in the future.

This past year, Girls' Concert Choir, directed by Mrs. Ruth Gustafson, strived to achieve a high de- gree of excellence in the perfection of vocal technique. Dynamics, pitch, blend, control and resonance were among the essentials which were confronted during the hours spent in practice every week. In addition to the class period, the choir participated in secular and sacred performances at Bethlehem Lutheran, Central Christian, Broadway Covenant and Temple Baptist Church. The choir also took part in the Christmas Concert and several members tried out for the spring musical, T he Music Man. Accompa- nists for the choir were Joanne Fieser and Karen Patton. The officers were Cathy Monson, president, Susan Donstad, vice-president, Shelly Anderson, secretary-treasurer, and Rhonda Palmer, publicity chairman.
