Chorus Orchestra

Page 38 text:

Dircctor .......................... Mr. John Caldwell The high school chorus, under the direction of Mr. John Caldwell, this year again proved its ability to interpret music in a very pleasing manner. This group, after singing for various evening perfor- mances, has received much praise from many different sources. 'We must not fail to mention the all-girl chorus which has been organized. This choral group sang at a neighboring church recently, as well as at many performances at the high school, including the Spring Concert. Without the help of the senior orchestra our assembly pro- grams and evening performances would hardly seem complete. Most of the members have shown a keen interest in this activity thus making the orchestra finer than it has been in many years. With graduation the orchestra will lose two of its most faithful participants: Millicent Freeman, pianist, and Alberta Pirkheim, violinist. In a recent forensic contest this group received such a high rating that they entered a sectional contest held at California State Teachers College, where they won first place. The orchestra showed its ability at the On to Norristown Concert held on April 27.

FOI'CllSiC Miss Rebecca Lee Miss Grace Hasson Charlotte Roman Eleanor Kay Hutchison Anna Hopta Every year several members of the student body enter the Forensic Contests in order to attempt to return with honors for their Alma Mater. This year Anna Hopta, junior, entered the Declamation Contest, Eleanor Hutchison, sophomore, the Poetry Reading Contest, placing third, Charlotte Roman, sophomore, entered the Shakespearean Reading Contest, plac- ing second. These students should indeed be congratulated for their fine Work and for the effort they put forth in order to enter these contests. However, they would not have been nearly so successful if it were not for the careful coaching given by Miss Rebecca Lee, instructor of languages, and Miss Grace Hasson, English instructor.
