That's not the way it's supposed to soundf' So seventy girls in the chorus of Redbank Valley listen while she tells us how the song should be sung. Yes, we really go through vocal calisthen- tics every Thursday morning during activity. We participated this year in the Christmas operetta, which included songs from both chorus and choir members. We all love to sing, and somehow, singing the familiar hymns and carols brought us closer to the true meaning of Christ- 1'I'1aS. Then came the spring concert, and finally, the Forensic Music and Speech Contest-when our entire group went to Clarion for singing com- petition with other schools in the disrict. With our pianist, Roberta Marsh, at the key- board, we sang during the year such songs as Grandma Gruntw, HOde to Starlight , and Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life. We used the Grandma Grunt selection for our contribution at the For- ensic Music Contests. Next year, with our hopes of expanding the All-Girl Chorus to 100 members. we shall again enjoy our singing hours spent together.

The choir did this on Tuesdays and Wed- nesdays during the past year. Seventy in number, we practiced long and hard for the Christmas program and all our other activities. The other activities that were held during the year were an operetta. a spring con- cert, Commencement, Baccalaureate, and the For- ensic and Music League Contest. Five members of our choir attended district chorus at Ambridge. They were Kay Hetrick, Nancy Shumaker. Jack Wilson, Jim lVIcCafferty. and Wendell Reddinger. Some of our members took part in the All- School Play by singing different numbers between acts. The choir was proud to have one person selected to represent Redbank Valley High School at the State Chorus held in March at Harrisburg. This group was invited to sing before the confer- ence at Philadelphia where music teachers and supervisors from all over the United States met to discuss music. Throughout the school we were busy singing at various meetings-sometimes solos, sometimes duets, sometimes octettes, and sometimes the entire choir en masse. It has been fun for everyone of us. Ruth Ann Angehr has been our piano accom- panist during the year, and Miss Kathlegn Boarts. our choral director.
