Vocal Department The musical organizations are among the most progressive and most interesting extra curricular activities in Ogden High. We have many groups working diligently this year. The groups are: Boys Glee Club: Girls Glee Club: Mixed Chorus: Madrigalg Girls Sextetteg Boys Quartet: and a number of soloists. The chorus is larger this year than it has ever been in previous years. At the beginning of the year there were 45 boys and girls, but at the second semester the group was cut to 36, the con- test limit. This fall the combined Glee Club presented H, M. S. Pinafore, a comic opera, by Gilbert and Sullivan. Everyone who has heard the name recognizes it as a difficult opera, but with Miss Sloan's able assistance we succeeded in present- ing it with flying colors. The girls sextette is composed of Doris Clau- sen, Anna Vaughan, Mary Janice Boehm, Maxine Miner, Lura Miller, and Maxine Mansfield. The boys in the quartet are: Tenor, Paul Clausen: Sec- ond Tenor, Billy Crosman: Baritone, Karl Kill- ingerg and Bass, Keith Hunter. These two small groups appeared with the band at a performance held at the Legion Hospital in Des Moines. Our newest group was the Madrigal. This is the English type of singing, composed of five parts, and is always unaccompanied. Those singing in the madrigal were: Jean Boehm, Doris Boehm, Mabel Fredricks, Arlene Lark, Maxine Mansfield, Lura Miller, Paul Clausen, Louie Treloar, Donald Leichliter. and Keith Hunter. The vocal department with the band, presented a concert this year and plan to give another before contests. This year, contests were under a different plan. There was one preliminary state contest and four state, instead of subdistrict, district and state. The preliminary contest was held April 6, at Webster City. Those groups entered were: Boys and Girls Glee Clubs, Mixed Chorus, Madrigal, Sextette, Quartet, and several soloists. The winnings here were two first, namely Paul Clausen and the Boys Quartet: seven seconds, Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, Madrigal, Mixed Chor- us, Girls Sextetteg Jean Boehm, Mary Janice Boehm. Doris Clausen received a third. Paul and the Boys' Quartet went to the state contest at Storm Lake and they received division II. At different times during the year the soloists have entertained at various functions, as, Wo- man's Club, Church Organizations and P. T. A. All groups have been specializing in a capella singing. Some of their specialties were: Bach's Chorales, Russian Folk Song , Negro Spirituals, and many others, equally as difficult. Madrigal Left to Right: First Row-Doris Boehm, Arlene Lark, Lura Miller.
