Choir and uartet Abigger and better group of singers made up our choir this year. Under the direction ofMr. Rarich, the boys worked very diligently. Their hardest job was to prepare the nucleous of the Vester Service every Sunday. After doing a commendable job, they undertook out- side singing engagements, one of these being at Mr. Kersey's church. The highlights of the Choir programs were the Christmas Carol Service and the Lenten Program. Mr. Rarich and the boys deserve a big hand for the work and time spent during the year. A new quartet started this year. Those chosen were James Teamer, lst ten- org Dario Quiros, Znd tenorg Robert Parr, baritoneg and Frederick Davis, bass. Their first performances were the Christmas Candlelight Service and the Mid- Year Musical. Mr. Rarich directed the 'four' and they achieved well-balanced singing that made them so popular. This was truly a fine group of singers. II. to R.: Mr, Rarich, R. Parr, D. Quiros, F. Davis, J, Teamer. First Row: L. to R.: R. Harden, I. Pina, L, Brown, J, Cox, R, Brockway, R. Parr, C. White, B.

Approximately one-third of the boarding students participate in the singing. Club officers are: Conrad Youngbluit, Presidentg Jim Teamer, Vice Presidentg Burton Longwell, Librariang Lyman O'Neill, Sec- retaryg and Richard Harden, Assistant Librarian. The highlights of the year are our Christmas Carol Service with hundreds of candles lighting the Shaw Memo- rial Chapel, and the Mid-Year Musical which all the students enjoy. This year the boys sang popular as well as 'heavier' music. One of the best events of the year was the Spring Musical just before graduation. As in the past, the Glee Club has performed a useful service for the school. This year a new singing group, the sextet, was added to the program. The tenors, Jim Teamer and Dario Quirosg baritones, Burton Longwell and Robert Parry and bases, Andrew Guthrie and Fred Davis blended together quite well. They performed not only for the school, but for many other organizations in New Jersey. Their repertoire was vast, and they had the right numbers to suit the occasion. Our hats off to the six and Dr. Rarich for the entertainment that they furnished the school. L. to R.: Mr. Rarich, D, Quiros, I. Teamer, F. Davis, A. Guthrie, R. Parr, B. Longwell, 50

Foreign Students Yearly, a great many foreign students come to our Pennington School. Here we meet with new knowledge as well as new social life. Although our hearts remain at Home, sweet home, we feelquite at home here. With great exertion, we learn the American ways, ideas and English. Of all the subjects we have, English is our most difficult, because we have to translate nearly everything into our native tongue first. With the help of Special English, we conquer most of the difficulty. This year we have boys from: Cuba, Venezuela, Aruba, Colombia, Greece, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. On Feb. 5th, the Pennington School had the honor to present one of our foreign student's sister to give apiano concert to the student body. Miss Mirna Ruiz received a standing ovation from the boys, who had enjoyed her impressive concert. We will never forget what the school has done for us and the new friends we made here. i 'H First Row: L, to R.: I. Pina, C, Wong, D. Quiros, F. Agusti, R. Pina, I. Echeverri, F. Villegas.
