Practices became serious business immedi- ately, for the first appearance of the choir at the Pawnee County Fair necessitated hard work. The work of a choir is never finished for, in addition to striving for better tone qual- ity and musicianship, there is always another program date rapidly approaching. There were assembly programs during the year and then that highlight of the Yuletide season, the annual Christmas Vesper Service. The District Music Contest presented its usual challenge to the choir and provoked many hours of intensified practice. The year was culminated by the traditional production of an operetta. Not only does the choir try to achieve many musical effects, but it is also constantly striving for good citizenship. Every member must abide by the rules set up by the group to remain in choir. In this way the choir has become a hard working group and a builder of democ- racy. Page 24

With a complete string choir and a full complement of woodwind, brass, and percussion, the orchestra has been able to study and perform some of the best music of the old masters as well as of the contempo- rary composers. Rehearsals were held twice a week and much was accomplished in technique and musicianship. The highlights of the year's activities were the performances at the fall and spring con- certs, the district contest, and the playing of the processional for graduation services. The orchestra has much to offer to those interested in fine instrumental music. Page 23

Soon after that, the girls appeared on an assembly pro- gram for the school. The high point of the year came with the Christmas Season and the Christmas Vesper Service. One of the out- standing numbers performed at this time was Gesu Bambino by Yon. After the gaiety of the holiday season, the group settled down to hard work with emphasis placed on im- provement in blending and expression. The climax of the year was the participation in the District Music Contest at Auburn. Page 25
