Members of the Chorale are chosen not only for their vocal ability, but also for their facial expression and ability to com- municate with an audience. This year the ChoraIe's audience appeal was given an additional boost by the purchasing of new outfits - red, white, and blue in accordance with this bicentennial year. The Chorale appeared before the student body, performed with the Choir at the Dorian Music Festival, and played a major role in the Fol- lies. They also sang for several civic organizations. HAND IN HAND - The Mohawk Chorale fin ishes a song with a flourish.

Participants enjoy success Although Mason City didn't send as many representatives to All-State as in previous years, what they lacked in numbers they made up in talent. Among the challenging num- bers they performed was The Che- rubic Hymn together with the All- State Chamber Orchestra. 1975-76 was the first year for the Junior-Senior Girls Glee Club, under the direction of Mary Lou Larsen. With forty-five members, the girls sang in both the Christmas and spring concerts. ALL-STATE CHORUS - FRONT ROW: Kay Hanes, Barb Cheney, Anita Ward, Sheila Maifield, Doug Erickson.
