Vocal groups . . Mixed Chorus, Girls' Glee Club and Boy's Glee Club: these were the vocal groups led by Nlr. Max Byrd. The music organizations participated in the annual spring concert and an evening of solos and ensembles. Several ensembles performed for the teacher's banquet, school asemblies and various lodges, churches and civic clubs of Joplin. The Christmas assembly featured several vocal presentations. Mr. Byrd commented, The assem- bly was very well received and we're glad we did it. Students discussed their vocal music units. We do Bach corales for assemblies and Bacharach for fun isenior boyi. The voice has endless possibilities-more than any single instrument. It is also very responsive to the emotions and has special communication potential isenior girlj. A fine education is made complete with aesthetic experiences. Singing fulfills these artistic needs that de- velop young people culturally iMr. Byrdl.

Solo and ensemble. . . Members shared their talents in Solo and Ensemble each Friday morning, when some member or members performed. The hurried din of the school morning was shut out for a brief period while the club, along with advisers Mr. Hal Barlow and Mr. Max Byrd, relaxed for some enjoyable listening. We encourage and appreciate each other, said one member. The advisers commented, Solo and Ensemble gives students a chance to appear before their peers in public performances like recitals. Some members may be future music teachers if they are serious enough and have enough talent to sing or play. l 'S' 35 mr L 2 -', .pe it , .
