Octettes Have Enjo able Year To be chosen to sing in the Girls' or Boys' Octette is such an honor that almost everyone who can carry a tune in a bushel basket tries to be one of the selected few. But, of course, only eight girls and eight boys can fill the positions. The octettes make many personal appearances dur- ing the school year. This year their schedule included an appearance at the senior play and at the St. Paulls Church birthday supper. At the junior play, which was a Melodrama, they dressed up in old-time costumes and led community singing. They were also entered in the District Music Contest held at Sycamore. Each octette received an excellent rating. Bob Barrels. Jim Frost. Denny Lewzeil, jerry fandt, Dale McKirgan, Bob Dwyer, John Voss, Toby Watne, Mrs. Slerens, director.

A cer- tain amount of time each music period was devoted to vocalizing and breathing exercises. The hard work of the chorus was apparent in their performances at the Winter Concert, the District Vocal Contest, and at the Spring Con- cert, when they sang out On a Lovely Summer Evening-l' Chorus Strive ROW 1: Bonnie Olsen, Sue Eastabrooks, Marua Sprinkle, JoAnn Hage, Bonnie Austin, Margery Whisler, Mary Crebner, Nancy Kupperschmidt, Charlene Davis, Accompanist, Mrs. Stevens, Director.
