CHORUS The Chorus is a group of mixed voices; chosen and trained by Mi6S Cross. It is composed of eighteen sopranos eight altos, four tenors, and seven basses. We meet every Wednesday and Friday afternoon during the eighth period to rehearse for school assemblies and different programs in which the chorus participated. We planned to put on an opperetta entitled ” The Forest Prince” by Tschaikowski, but due to great sickness of the major players and the apparition of a May Festival, it was abandoned. This year on May tenth the chorus participated in the May Festival at Potsdam. VOCAL DAY Chorus day of the May Festival was held May 10th at Potsdam. The Heuvelton chorus traveled fy bus to a.ttend the event. The program for the day consisted of a rehearsal for the massed chorus from 9:30 to 10:30 under the direction of Mrs. Youngs.
