M3523 When the Mixed Chorus organized there were so many of us we had to have our class ln the gy naslum. After a month of practicing with the large group, Miss Ward selected a group for Mixed Chorus. This was still a big group but by bringing in chairs we could manage to squeeze into the music room. Woes still befell us. We were still so large it was hard for some of us to get down to the business of practice. Along came ChP18tm8Sq We worked on a short program for assembly. The girls were angels, sheets and all. Dorothy Ashbaugh and Dale Morrow were Mary and Joseph. Could there have been something to this? After the first of the year we began work on our contest numbers. 'Luh, luh, luh.W One of our pieces had only these words. At least we learned that without any effort. Near the time for the contest a group was selected from the selected group. Puzzling, 1SH't it? We had fun, even if we did work hard. id ,rv Jn 5 fr 1 fx ? Qmkp 9 Q55 l t'a ':- SE.

GIRLS SEXTETTE The girls were a little more success- ful than the boys in being able to per- form publically. They sang at various school affairs and at the church. This group entered at Maryville in the district contest. They sa g 'Goln' Home' by Dvorak. They received a III rating. This was a good rank. We were the last ones on the program that day and sang at about seven o'clock, just an hour and a half after we were scheduled to appear. There was ene.advantage however, we sang to only the judge and those of our o n school. This kept us from being Scarede I The sextette was composed of the following members, Stella Reynolds and Lorena Hanson, first soprano, Dolores Bennett and Roberts Rogers, second soprano and Dorothy Ashbaugh and Nancy Hook, alto. BOYS QUARTETTE The quartette was composed of the following members, Wilfred Kisker, first tenor, DlV1G Wetherell, second tenor, Bill Hall, baritone, and Don Good, bass. Even though they naver made a public appearence, they dlu practise a lot dur1ng the year. I think if the truth was known they were just afraid that they would sound good when tnty sang. Anyway, it was fun trying to hit 811 those high notes in the tenor and those low ones in the bass. All the boys were seniors but Davlu so it 15 around that basis that a new quartette will be formed naxt year. It will D6 tough sleding but maybe we can have a quartette next year that will be able to make some appearences.
