The second year of the Concert Choir was devoted to Improving the techniques of previous members and to introducing the essentials of choral music to the new members. Under Mr. Ronald Teare ' s skilled leadership, the importance of pitch, diction, timing, and tone quality were stressed. Rehearsals often involved rigid breathing control exercises by sitting on the edge of the seat with arms outstretched. With daily practice much improvement was soon manifest. Participating in many of the school activities, the choir was in constant prepara- tion. The Christmas performances this year were given at Welsh Valley Junior High School, Bala-Cynwyd Methodist Church, and here in hiarriton ' s auditorium. The spring concert, the highlight of the season, was most successful. An unusual practice of the choir was doing combined numbers with the orchestra. This proved successful and interesting even though it is rarely done in this area. After a year of hard work, the choir acquired polished performances Including a wide variety of classical, popular and spiritual selections. The Mixed Chorus, composed primarily of sophomores, was an organization of forty-five members. It functioned as a training group for the future concert choir. Here, tone production was of major importance. Participating in the Christmas and Spring Concerts, the chorus members gained experience in large public performances. The vocal music department afforded pleasure to its members, the school, and the community through the universal language, music. As the rest of the choir members follow iheir parts on their own, the bass section receives special help from Mr. Teare on a difficult passage. Mr. Teare warmly congratulates Ed Elicker and Carol Mason, Harriton ' s representatives at Penn- sylvania ' s Regional Choir. Ed and Carol, along with Carol Ayer. Jean Bader, and Vicki Bemis, also sang in the Southeastern District Choir. VOCAL MUSIC Mr. Teare qe+s set to give another vocal performance. the downbeat for

After school each Monday, Wednesday, and Fri- day, the girls rehearsed the Individual and finale numbers under Miss Taylor ' s supervision and guidance. The theme revolved around Cupid ' s matchmaking tricks. Each member of the League aided him by participating in various musical presentations.
