BOYS, CHORUS The boys' chorus of the school year 1950-51 has gained four new members, two from the senior class and two from the freshman class. In the senior class, David Core came in at the beginning of the school year. David is the tenor with the golden voicev which you have undoubtedly heard. Iohn Schimmoller is the senior boy who entered the chorus in the middle of the year. When he entered the boys' chorus he formed the missing link which we needed for a quartet. From the freshman class, the new members we gained were john Howe and Ronnie Wilson. The two main activities of the boys chorus were the boys' quartet and solos of David Core. The foursome really went places this year. They were the one division of the boys, chorus that really stood out. The quartet singers were David Core, tenorg Iohn Schimmoller, second tenorg Bud Smith, leadg and john Howe, bass. At some of the places where these people sang, they were accom- panied by the chorus. Such a place was the Christmas program. The quartet sang spirituals, and the chorus sang Bells of Saint Mary,s . David Core also sang a solo on this program. March 23rd, the boys' quartet sang for the Missionary Youth Revival. April 6th, they sang a couple of numbers at the W.C.T.U. Party. David Core sang a solo there, also. At the spring musicale, the boys' chorus and the quartet sang, and again David sang a solo, May 28th, David Core sang a solo and the mixed quartet sang as part of the commencement program.
