Ehnir The Rich High Choir is a selected group of juniors and Seniors. They started the year with a choir party which was given by the Choir Mothers. Choir Mother activi- ties included Birthday Calendars, stationery sale, and general Choir support.

On the tour they gave four performances: the first at Fenville, Michigan, the second at Allegon and the last two at Chesterton, Indiana, This year has been quite a busy and successful one.

Stewart, the chair- man, Mrs. H. D. Meyer, Mrs. G. R. McElroy, and Mrs. T. Hawkins, The Choir otiicers are Joanne Stewart, president, Ken Werk, vice-presidentg and Robert Jacobs, secretary.
