I've enjoyed singing in the Mixed Choir this year, and I'm really looking forward to sing- ing in the A Capella Choir next year. Dana Witters, junior L-s up 4 18 Mixed Choir Mixed Choir Sophomores and iuniors make progress for better vocal sounds The Mixed Choir was smaller than we've been used to, stated student teacher Miss Judy Emery. Miss Emery has been a student at Portland State University, and has helped to direct the Mixed Choir for the first half of the year. Mr. Gil Timothy again took over for the second semester. Students haven't been as involved as they were in the past. Mr. Timothy has hoped for more interest and accomplishment from his choir students. He also wished for better sounding voices and structure. Some of the songs the Mixed Choir sang for the Christmas Concert were He is Bom , Christmas, Christmas , and 'Roundelay Noe1 . These students should make for a well rounded A Capella Choir in the future years to come. 1 , l ABOVE: Jane Gilbert, Iris Martin Debbie Hall, Brent Harrel and Ted Hickey listen to instructions to correct earlier mistakes.

Duties of Heather Stein, president, and Kelly Mc Culloch, vice president, included the arrangement of performances for the company, selection of the music, and maintaining order. Secretary Marta Monetti was in charge of sending appreciation letters to all of the groups that were sung for. All three officers worked closely together to get their jobs done. The ensemble sang 'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy, 'You and Me Against the World, and I Say a Little Prayer for You.
