At least one teacher, whose primary teaching field is mathematics and who has completed an under- graduate maior in mathematics, must be employed. Mrs. Dorothy Shirley and Mr. John Collin, advisers of the club, meet these requirements. ln order to belong to this club students must have completed or will complete a definite number ot required courses.

This year the Choir sang on November lO at the University of California where there were approximately four-thousand student singers. The day started out with dif- ferent high schools singing and the Pittsburg High School Choir sang in the morning. At noon they ate lunch at the Greek Theater where the Choral Society of the Uni- versity sang for the students. In the afternoon they attended a football game. In February they went to the College of Pacific for a Festival. They sang at our own Christmas program. Choir members are also working on a one-act comedy opera entitled Dizzy Baton. The male lead will go to Victor Billeci and all the other characters center around him. Mr. Jones thinks this year's choir is the best in many years. 55
