Our Girls' Chorus, under the capable direction of Krs Cook,has aimed to create a better interest in music throughout the school; to teach its sixty-three members how to read music, to irprove their voices, and to appreciate music The chorus, when asked, never refuses the opportunity of singing at churches and various social Catherines. Last year they were fortunate in having been chosen to entertain at such affairs as the Southern District Convention held at York, and the State Farm Show at Harrisburg This year they were selected to appear on the Youth Program at the State. Farm Show. The chorus has proved itself very successful in the Pennsylvania Forensic and Kuslc League Contests In 1937 they won the first county contest and received second honors at the State Contest which was held at Altoona. In 1938 they did not Qualify above county. The next year, 1939, they participated in the State Contest at Norristown. In 1940 1941, they won the State Contests held at Harrisburg and New Castle respectively. In Kay 1941, at the National School kualc Competition Festival held at Atlantic City, the chorus received second honors Each year our school has had its quota of representatives in the All-District, and All-State Choruses, including a soloist in the 1940 All-btate Chorus directed Noble Cain. Our high school is also proud of Its Mixed Chorus, Ensemble, Trio and Vocal soloists, who also have participated In the Forensic League Contests and proved themselves very successful. Our Ensemble was chosen to sing at the State Directors Convention held last year in the Fonrr. building at Harrisburg « any appreciative consents were received by the Ensemble. These various groups have progressed greatly under Mrs. Cook's efforts and it is their hope that they will continue to progress in the future as they have In the past -29-
