These boys and girls, three hundred of them, have been selected from practically eevry state in the Union and will arrive in Chicago, Monday, April 16th, and begin rehearsals that afternoon at 4:00. Can you imagine the thrill these singers will experience when they meet for the hrst rehearsal? The best singers from hlaine take places beside the best from California and the best from the South beside those of the North. Imagine living for a Whole Week on the 24th floor of the largest hotel in the World. Imagine singing in a concert with the Chicago Symphony orchestra playing the accompaniment and thousands of people all over the country tuning in. Then, you may get some idea of what is in store for the three hundred lucky boys and girls.

Two very important requirements were, an excellent voice and high standing in school. Agnes Oliver not only possesses an excellent voice but has a pleasing personality,,backed up by an intelligent appreciation of good music, and we feel sure her lovely voice, pleasing appearance and very good behavior combined, will place her among the best of the three hundred boys and girls with whom she is to sing. Each singer must memorize nearly one hundred pages of music before April 16th so that only the blending notes and inter- pretation will remain to be Worked out during the five days at Chicago. Dr. Hollis Dan, the well-known music director of New York City, will have charge of the rehearsals and concert. Besides, Mr. Chambers was picked as one of the fifteen di- rectors of the national concert. This is a very singular and distinguished honor and We should feel mighty proud of our director. 91v i -, 'Page Eighty-two
