There's a Song In the Air Mrs. Nancy Linson, with all her bounding energy and personal charm, is head of the Music Department here at Mississinewa. Mrs. Linson is a grad- uate of Ball State Teachers College where she majored in Music and Phys- ical Education. She loves working with choirs and is always planning better and more interesting programs for them. OUR GOLDEN THROATED GROUP This attractive group of music-lov- ers may not sound like any of Fred Waring's but we like them. Their fa- vorite arrangements are anything from Battle Hymn of the Republic to Body and Soul , but whether they're singing the classics or swing, you may be sure it will be well worth listening tO. Mrs. Nancy Linson is in charge of the group and she has made the choir such an attractive organization that she has sixty members in the senior choir alone. The hi-lice of the year for the choir is the presenting of the Showboat . This year it was so good that it was given on two nights to capacity aud- iences. The choir also sings for various other church and school functions. YOUNG, BUT MIGHTY Composed of fifty-six members this mixed group are all freshmen. Mrs. Linson also is director of the freshmen choir. The choir participated in the same activities as the Senior group, such as singing for the P. T. A. and the Kiwanisg taking part in the various holiday programs, such as Easter and Armistice Dayg and active participa- ation in the Christmas Program. The Showboat, which is the main choir program of the year was widely represented by freshmen. We bow to this young choir that is planning for the future. 1..l..l- Compliments of Herb and Bea Walsh
