dMusical cActivities Miss Edith Hanson CT fHE vocal section of our music department has made rapid progress in the last few years and under the direction of Miss Hanson has risen to the top and is respected as one of the more important de- partments in the school. The largest organization is the mixed chorus, which boasts a personnel of sixty persons. The first regu'ar mixed chorus was organized under Miss Han- son in 1928. At that time the chorus made no public appearances outside of an annual music contest while the membership of the chorus was restricted to twenty members by contest regulations. Gradually the chorus grew and improved until today we have a body of singers who make many public appearances and who have added prestige to the whole community. Out of this large choir are formed numerous minor vocal groups. Throughout the year these people make appearances on country school programs, in the high school assemblies, at the annual music festival in River Ealls, and many other places. The minor groups and their personnel include: Boys’ Quartet Chester Anderson ............. Bass Wesley Erickson .......... Baritone Merle Michaelson..............Tenor Paul Thompson ............... Tenor Roys’ Trio Wesley Erickson .......... Baritone Robert Forsythe .............. Bass Orlando Holway................Tenor Girls’ Sextette Patricia Ryan ..... Second Soprano Verna Mae Jones............ Soprano Elaine Tracy .............. Soprano Velma Barthomew .............. Alto Marjorie Lee ................. Alto Marion Lombard ..
