The choir is under the direction of Mr. Gary Hollandbeck and Mrs. Turese Kemp. In addition to giving the needed rever¬ ence to church services, the choir was en¬ tered in the music .contest at Rushville and very commendably secured a second place. GIRLS’ CHORUS THERE are twenty-one female voices in the Robed Choir, and each of these girls participates in the Girls’ Chorus Group. This year the girls prepared three fine songs for entrance in the contest at Rushville. It might be added that the Girls’ Chorus matched the Boys’ Chorus’ per¬ formance by placing second in the contest. BOYS’ CHORUS HP HE BOYS’ Chorus is made up of the - ■ boys who sing with the choir in addition to any other qualified students wishing to participate. The group this year con¬ sisted of nineteen members. The boys participated in the annual music contest at Rushville, Indiana, gain¬ ing a second place rating. Although the group is together for only a short time, they do an excellent job, and Morton takes pride in having its Boys’ Chorus.
