Cgreshman Girls' Qlee Huh ella Freshmen Girls' Chorus The Freshmen Girls' Chorus was organized this year to train material for the Advanced Chorus. Its members number seventy-five. Rehearsals are held Wfednesday evening at 3:45 and Friday the Fifth Period Cwhen no Chapel is held.j Many of its members are from rural schools and have had no previous musical training. This is a handicap to the progress of the club, but it is felt that those girls should be given the opportunity of choral singing if they so desire. Training has been given in posture, breathing, vocalizing exercises for obtaining flexibility and freer use of the voice. This chorus began with singing songs in unison, then two-part, and finally three-part the last semester. The members are instructed in the use of the baton, interpretation and general musicianship. The Freshmen Girls, Chorus appeared in the following programs: 1. Junior High School Christmas Carol Program. 2. Library Christmas Program. 3. Junior High Assemblies. 4. Music Week Program. Boys' Chorus The Boys, Chorus is composed of twenty voices selected from Senior High School. This chorus receives training similar to that given the girls, excepting that the boys read four-part music and basses must learn to read the bass clef. The Boys, Chorus appeared in a Mixed Chorus in the Christmas Carol Chapel Program, at the Kiwanis Club, the Giving Treev Exercises, at the Chapel Program on March 17, and at Commencement and Baccalaureate services. The Club meets twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Betty McClure is the accompanist. Page 66 ACTIVITIES
