This year the chorus was composed of approximately eighty voices. These voices blended to result in the beautiful music which could be heard coming from the auditorium each Monday and Wednesday morning. Early in November the chorus began to iill the air with the strains of Christmas carols which they were practicing for their first ap- pearance of the year, the Christmas Concert. After this concert, they began preparations for the Spring Concert, given annually in May. In addition to these concerts, the chorus provided entertainment for several assemblies during 'the course of the year. One of the most important was the evaluation assembly presented in March. A highlight of the year for the chorus was acting as host for the North Central District Chorus. The District Chorus, composed of 224 students from schools located in North Central Pennsylvania, presented a concert in the audi- torium of the new Kane Area Junior High School in April. Because the concert was held in Kane, it was Kaneis privilege to have more singers in the chorus than any other school. About twenty of our vocalists entered the com- petition, but only a few were eligible to go to State Chorus. Anyone who enjoyed singing was eligible to become a member of this fine choral group. No special tryouts were required to prove abili- ty. Some of the favorite songs sung by the chorus were c'Plenty Good Boomf, Madame Ieanettef g'Good Newsf You'll Never Walk Alonef and Jonah Swallowed the Whalef, 19

OPCA85 fl 6L Did you ever wonder where those soft, sooth- ing strains of music came from every Tuesday and Thursday morning? If you had followed the sounds you would have found that they came from Room 19, our brand new music room. Mr. Hartley Johnston would have been directing the rehearsal as the orchestra prepared for one of its numerous engagements. Ruth Carlson and Alexandra Connelly, vio- linists, attended District Orchestra which was held in Wesleyville, Pennsylvania on February 12, 13, and 14. This year Mr. Johnston has revived an old custom, an exchange concert with Warren. On March 2 the members of the Kane orchestra piled into a bus and journeyed to Warren for a day,s rehearsal which was topped off by an evening concert. The performance was repeated in Kane on March 16. Among the featured soloists was Ruth Carlson, Kane violinist. The combined orchestras were directed by Mr. Johnston and Mr. Summers of Warren. Although this yearis orchestra was very small, it was very active. It performed at the senior class play, the Christmas Festival, the Spring Concert, the Warren exchange concert and various school assemblies.
