The cantata which was given in the spring of 1930 was so well received that the Music Department had no doubt as to the desirability of continuing the good work. 'HFor the ' chorus of '31 Mrs. Pettis chose Esther , the long-beloved cantata by N 1 - William Bradbury. Our people have always been fond of this musical ' setting for the inspiring story of the beautiful Jewish girl who be- came Queen to th-e Persian monarch Ahasuerus. And then, the soloists! Among the major parts we found Miss Mildred Yae- ger .as Queen Esther: Miss Winifred Granbois as Zereshg Roy Christensen as Mordecaig Milan Braun as Hamang and H. E. Hein as King Ahasuerus. A few members of last year's group were lost by graduation , but the va- cancies were readily filled from the new talent. Mrs. Pettis directed, while Mr. Lauritzen accompanied at the piano. A small orchestra was an addition to the singing chorus. Two performances were planned. The chorus gave Esther in the Congre- gational church in Hutchinson. More thrilling was the major presentation in the school chapel on Saturday night before Commencement. What pleasant evenings we had together! The iirst practice, Sunday night after New Year's, was held in Mr. Lauritzen's studio. Every one was good-natured and happy. The girls were especially delighted when the basses, singing, thc son of Hammedathaj' went down to low E. A week later everybody smiled when the Sopranos and the tenors climbed Hiifty cubits high -to a lusty A flat. Esther won instant favor. The interest and the enthusiasm grew. We know that those who heard the finished work enjoyed it, but they did'n't have a tithe of the pleasure that the members of the chorus had. ,y is I 3 I ,L firka 4 Q? 51
