.,.a' Small reap Sang The vocal music department, under the di- rection oi Mr. George Peterson, offered the students a varied schedule of musical activi- ties. By dividing both boys and girls into guar' tets, octets, sextets and trios, they had a chance to learn to sing together in small groups. ln these small groups, each person had to sing in tune and by practicing and working hard together, they developed and broadened their singing abilities. The small groups were composed ol song- sters from the sophomore, junior and senior classes. Putting their talents to good use, they sang in such programs as the Musicalia, music con- test, junior assembly, exchange convocations, other assemblies and provided entertainment lor many affairs.
