Never has a Henry student presentation been more effectively costumed nor more dramatically staged. The Costume Club, under the direction of Mrs. Frances Sodcr(|uist, and the stage crew, supervised by Mr. Frank Kngdahl, created a remarkably effective setting for the heavenly singing of Henry's Choir directed by Mr. Adolph Nervig. The Boys' (X'tctlc includes Lawrence Carver, ferry Langerman. Ronald Larson, Karl Homuth. Bill Berger, Bill Kunze. Neal Nelson, and Douglas Vick.

And without a song, those of Henry’s musical students not addicted to gay uniforms and prancing steps would Ik music-mutes. But fortunately for them, Henry-ites enjoy the liberty of making music through the God-given medium of their voices, instruments quickly tuned, easily transported, dependent only upon the singer’s sensitive car and his power of concentration on the production o! a full-bodied, resonant, clear, and unwavering tone. Henry’s choir is a point of pride among the school’s organizations. The choir is frequently presented in Parent-Teacher and school programs as well as in concerts with other schools. Henry’s choir was featured with Roosevelt s and Southwest’s on the program of the Minnesota Education Association in the St. Paul Civic Auditorium, and at North-held, as a solo choir, in the Annual Spring Music Festival sponsored by the St. Olaf College Choir.
