Robert Enright, the Choralaires practice once a week for their various programs at school and community functions. The girls, especially selected for voice and feeling for music, always make a charming appearance. The three sopranos, three second sopranos, and three altos blend in beautiful harmony and present each selection in their own interesting way. The type of music that they sing varies as does the color of their gowns. This year the girls performed before the Peekskill Chapter of the D. A. R., and took part in the Ioint Concert in February, the Christmas program for the Rotary Club, and the annual Music Festival in May. Whatever the occasion, the Choralaires always render a fine presentation of good music. 7l
