CTT TTTE 5.4 19 40 CHORAL FESTIVAL One of the most representative activities of Oakes High School is the annual choral song-fest, in which Elle-ndale, Edgeley, and Lalvloure high schools ioin with Oakes in presenting a program of selected choral numbers and separate glee-club numbers. The group is composed of some 200 voices. Professor H. C. Rowland, director of vocal music at our State University, is the director of this group. The individual schools train themselves on the pre-selected music for the festival, Professor Rowland visits each school once to rehearse with them, and the entire group meets in the afternoon for a short practice together. This very brief meeting is the only chance these young men and women have of vocalizing together hefore the performance. All those who have seen one of these presentations and heard the group sing, will attest to the worthiness of the activity, and the fine quality of entertainment that is pro- duced. Professor Rowland deserves the gratitude of this entire district for his fine work with these young people, for which he receives no remuneration other than the pleasure derived from doing the kind ot work he loves.
