A CAPPELLA CHOIR The A Cappella Choir is composed of upperclassmen and is under the direction of Mr. Langley and the assistant director, Mr. Mc-Cutchan. Members of the A Cappella Choir must have experience in voice, either through sophomore choir or glee club, or may audition. The choir meets every day during the third hour to prepare for the many concerts it presents throughout the year. They participated in the all-school music festival along with the band, chorus club, and sophomore choir. They are particularly noted for the traditional Christmas Vespers presented for the public each year. The choir entertained the Pekin High students with auditorium programs and gave a spring concert for the public. The choral department won thirteen first place rankings and seven seconds in the district music contest February 24 at Chillicothe. The thirteen first rankings advanced to the state contest April 14 at Clinton and, combined with the instrumental group attending the contest, managed to return with the ranking of runner-up in the sweepstakes.
