24 THE MARGARETTA Mallar: Seniors, Sally Bannon and Don- ald Crandlemire: luniors, Marilyn Ells- more and Allan Graves: Sophomores, Iulia Wiswell and Alan Gray. At the end of the first six weeks period. Frank Ackley and Lucille Kilton were elected to represent the Freshman class on the Council. Fred Chadwick was chosen representative from the eighth grade. Student Council aims to provide whole- some and satisfying experiences for stu- dents and to contribute to the effective- ness of the school program. This year the Council has become a member of the National Association of Student Councils from which it has re- ceived many helpful booklets on how to improve its own program. The Council has again sponsored the sale of chocolate milk and potato chips during the recess periods. The Activity Association's Constitution has been revised by a group of Iunior and Senior members who met several evenings at Principal McEacharn's home to work on this project. The new Constitution was ratified by unanimous vote of the students. One important revision was in regard to athletic awards. lt was decided that basketball and baseball letters should be six inch, full block chenille M's . They should have set-in service stripes for the number of years participation together with set-in basketballs or baseballs. At the end of this school year, the boys who are eligible will receive this new letter. Our point system concerning Activity awards has also been changed, as well as the duties of the school treasurer. The council hopes to work out many more problems which confront the student body. HIGH SCHOOL CHORUS This year, the high school chorus has started studying three and four part mu- sic. For the boys, this meant a great deal of work, learning to read and sing from the bass clef. The music has been all new material to us students and has been greatly varied ranging from The Spa- cious Firmament On High to Kentucky Babe . We have done very little unison work this year as we were more con- cerned with the study of part singing. Our first public performance was the Christmas program. The major part of the program was made up by soloists and small groups of singers with the entire group singing the Christmas Carols. fOne of the outstanding memories of this program was White Christmas as sung by Carl Hooper, which received three en- cores.l Edith Bryant ably accompanied at this program, as well as at rehearsals throughout the year. For our Spring Recital, the Freshman- Sophomore Chorus and the Iunior-Senior Chorus have been practicing their part- work. Besides these two large groups, there have been several other groups working which include the girls' three part chorus, boys' Barber Shop Harmony, and one other group which has been organized into mixed quartets. For our program, these were augmented by soloists, as well as our Iunior-High Chorus. The final performances of the year were by our special glee clubs at Com- mencment and Graduation Exercises. These groups, in order to be suitable for these types of performances, were of ne- cessity much smaller than the regular cho- ruses. This year, the chorus has laid a good foundation, through learning the basic principles of music on which to build an excellent chorus. .Ai
