c H O R U S A N D C o N T E S T (kor-0s) 1. An organized company of singers who sing in concert. The chorus class of Milford for the 1979-80 school year consisted of sixty-four people. They gave two main concerts — a Christmas concert and a Spring concert. In addition to the concerts, the chorus participated in the annual District Contest at Weslyan University. At the contest, participants were rated on a scale from one to five, in which they received a two for their efforts. Directing the group was Mr. Jim Alexander who was very pleased with their performance. Mrs. Nowotny, the accompanist, was a big help in attaining their goals for the school year. But mainly the thanks goes to everyone who made this year a great success. Row 1: Mr. Alexander, M. Lauer, B. Vagts, A. Roth, L. Hander, J. Putnam, P. I loins, C. Stabenow, M. Rorst, E.
