THIS YEAR EVERY second period Tuesday and third period Wed- nesday, room 31, became a place that gives the angelic choir good competition for within my walls the Mixed Chorus meets. With sixty members under the direction of Mrs. Peigh- tel, this chorus, one of which Cove High can be proud, gave their first performance at the Blair County Teachers Institute which was held in the auditorium of the Roaring Spring High School. Instead of presenting the annual operetta they presented a program entitled Show Business, a combination of an operetta and a musical variety show which was presented on the stage of the auditorium here at the school on the evening of May 15. Everyone present enjoyed the show. From this chorus two smaller groups, a girls' sextette and a boys' quartet, have been formed. The members of the girls' sextette are Ruth Greenleaf, Pauline Fisher, Mary Lou Keller, Jane Butts, Janice Miller, Rosalie Turner. Ronald Leidy, Charles Pote, George Ritchey, and Jack Bonebreak comprise the male quartet. Both the chorus and the school can be proud of these groups. Our chorus was represented in the South Central District Chorus by five members: Jone Bush, Shirley Keiper, Mary Lou Keller, Charles Pote, and Ronald Leidy, This event was held at Clearfield April 16, 17, and 13. Twenty-one members of our chorus also journeyed to Hollidaysburg for the Blair County Chorus Festival on May 1 and 2.

0 ANOTHER OF THE MANY activities found in our school, although it's mentioned only a few times during the year, is the orchestra. Under the direction of Mr. Fisher, the organization played the music for the Commencement program last year and also made an appearance preceding this year's Senior Class Play. Rehearsals were held each Wednesday and Thursday activity periods and on Friday afternoons after school, for which the mem- bers ought to be commended for giving their own time for the purpose of making a better impression of their school at festivals and programs during the year. Although the group is small in number and volume it produced seven members who were selected to attend the District Orchestra Festival held at Bradford, February 12, 13, and 14. Jane Brumbaugh received the extra high honor of being selected to participate in the State Orchestra Festival which was held at Sharon, March 19, 20, and 21. As there were only nine musicians chosen from Blair County to attend the District Fes- tival, and since all but two of them were rep- resentatives of our school, it speaks very highly of the talent found in our orchestra. And, although the members of the orchestra are not boastful, I am sure they are very proud of the wonderful reputation their seven members made for Cove High at District Orchestra. After these festivals were completed, the organization began rehearsing Commence- ment program music for June. This, their last performance ended the school year as one of the busiest groups of the school-the Or- chestra.
