Pollock. harding choir 'Tis a sure sign work goes on merrily, when folks sing at it. Third period every day seventy-six iuniors and seniors take this literally and seriously. As they really work under the capable direction of Mr. L. G. Jones they feel musical accomplishment that makes them take a back seat to none. In the beautiful music room with the accompaniment played upon the grand piano by Carolyn Jones and Sally Schneider, a wide variety of arrangements which include sacred and secular numbers, along with novelty tunes, are perfected. Individual practice rooms are used often for vocalizing, and when the familiar maroon robes with the white stoles are not in use they are stored in the robe room. On Christmas night a recording made by our choir through the courtesy of the Marion Power Shovel was played on WMRN. Other activities included caroling the student body at Christmas time, appearing at local churches and civic clubs, an as- sembly with the Junior Choir, and the annual concert standing on our , -fix own risers in our beautiful auditorium. The Buckeye League Festival in April at Findlay proved an excellent opportunity to make new friends, hear others sing, and come home with new ideas of choir accomplish- ments gained from participation in the mass choir of some four hundred voices. For the Lion's Club District Convention March 14 at Hotel Hard- ing the group sang both sacred tunes and novelty numbers. On March 28 in the new Y.M.C.A. these melody makers entertained the Exchange Club members at their State Convention. Mr. George Lane worked out the four part harmony of our new Alma Mater and the Choir was privi- leged to introduce it to the student body when its approval was sought. Jeanne Bibbee and Delores Cosey have been the soloists and the four songsters carrying out official responsibilities have been Murray Leeper, Karen Syster, Paul Foster and Carolyn Jones. l l twsun
