CHORUS At the start of the school year our music director organized two choruses, the junior chorus, which met Monday in activity period, and the senior chorus, which met the same time on Thursdays. The senior chorus rendered service in that it sang several numbers at the Drama Fes- tival and other similar affairs. The combined choruses, which are pictured above, sang several groups of selections at the Spring Concert.
