Choir Goes to Mississippi With a Suitcase and a Song Patrick Henry's Choir, under the direction of Mr. Gene Fer- quson, presented an active, music filled year. Beginning the activi- ties the Choir provided many fall melodies for the Thanksgiving Assembly. Two television appear- ances, performances for several civic groups, an assembly at school, carolling in the halls, and the presentation of Handel's Mes- siah, created a wonderful- atmos- phere to fill the Christmas holi- days. Representatives for All- state Chorus were sent to Pulaski, Va. Then diligence and daily practice produced a profitable recital in March presented by the combined choirs of Patrick Henry and Woodrow Wilson. After last minute details had been cleared up, the Choir found itself en route to Mississippi for the spring tour, which included performances in high schools, colleges, and churches. The final exciting fillip to the tour was provided by an invitation to a ball given by the Governor of Mississippi. The spring concert was held on April 23 at Woodrow Wilson. Other spring engagements in- cluded an appearance at Towers Shopping Center for Music Week, and the annual exchange assem- bly with Addison for Easter. Also many of the members of the Choir participated in the produc- tion of Carnival, presented as the spring Serata, an annual project of the Fine Arts Department. The finale of the Choir's year was the presentation of the final concert and participation in the Bacca- laureate Services and Commence- ment. Patrick Henry's representatives to All-District Chorus were Richard Edwards Connie Blake, Don Buckley, Frances Cundiff, Art Eddy, Ann Janney.
