GIRLS' CHORUS MIXED CHORUS Ah! Sweet! I.ovelyl Fveryone agrees that time stands still when we hear our choruses sing. I.et's turn back the calendar and sec how these organizations came to bc. and be so good. The Girls' Glee Club. as it was called until recent years, was started by Mrs. Holt! in l9flls. The group sang for assemblies, the annual Spring Concert. and at the music contest at Fredonia. Each year since then, it has participated and received a rating of I. II. or III. with years I937 and 1945 outstanding in its I rating. In l942 the group sang at the State Sectional meeting held in Hamburg that year. This past year the Girls' Chorus made very good appearances at the Concert and Christmas assembly. and is working toward making this year's rating at the Festival a solid Al In past years. one of the high points of the school year was the Uperetta. directed by Mrs. Holtz. The best remembered as the big hit was the Mikado . in I937. As time went on. and the school enrollment began to grow toward its present overcrowded condition. it was impossible to produce such a work. However. with the facilities the new school offers. perhaps once again the list of annual events will include an operetta. Although we all think that our Mixed Chorus. started in l95l. is a new organization at I.akc Shore. there is a record of a mixed chorus in 1933! However. during the war years it ceased to exist. and was replaced by the Girls' Glee Club. Our present group contains as many male enthusiasts as female. and is rapidly growing in size and popularity. The chorus sings for assemblies. the Spring Concert and the Festivals at Fredonia and has received ratings of 2. 3. and 2 in the past 3 years. Much of the fun of belonging to the chorus is fulfilled at the re- hearsals on Mondays and Fridays. We'lI all remember the time our president. Denny Warwick. so graciously and gracefully led us in the absence of Mrs. Holtz! Many of this group sang in the County Sectional at Orchard Park in April. WILLIAM A. POWERS, JR. 0 57

M fai l J 1- M 1 ' ' 4 tl gill? X - ' 1 'TS- The development of our Band and Orchestra at Lake Shore may be compared very nicely with the passing of the twenty-four hours in a day. Let's look back to the wee-hours when these groups were started. ln 1927, with Mrs. Ho1tz's help. the Orchestra made its first appearance. This small group rapidly increased in size and ability, and was able by 1933 to attend the annual Music Festivals at Fredonia. ln the years 1934 to 1942, it was able to go on to the State Finals lno mean featl 4 times. As we creep around the clock to more compatible hours, we find that our Orchestra still competes at Fredonia every year. Although the State Finals no longer exist, the Erie County Music Educator's Association sponsors All-State Sectionals which many members of the Orchestra have participated in. ln the past few years, the orchestra has attended several Buffalo Philharmonic Concerts at Kleinhans Music Hall. This past year the Orchestra played for assemblies, the Concert, and for eighth grade and high school graduations. They are now busily preparing to uphold their excellent rating of I received at Fredonia last May. The Band entered the picture in 1932, and worked so hard that in 1933 it placed second in its class at Fredonia and was eligible for the State Finals at Syracuse that year. Since then. it has consistently received good or excellent ratings at Fredonia and was eligible 7 times for the Finals from 1933 to 1942. lt, too, participates in the County Sectionals. The other activities this year included playing for assemblies, several pep-rallies and football games, Class night, the Band Concert in the Spring, and at Fredonia.
