Robed, Mixed Choirs The Rohed Choir proudly wore the scarlet and gray vestments which gave them their name. Offering a chance for choir experience ,to those with varied back- grounds in choral singing, the Rohed Choir served as a valuable performing choir and as a feeder group to the Varsity Choir. The participation of the Rohed Choir added much to the quality and extensiveness of the choral department's activities. The Mixed Choir was open to those students who either had no background in chorus or were entering the Richfield Choral Department for the first time. Em- phasis was placed on the fundamentals of singing, espe- cially singing with a group, and learning a number of songs to be used as part of the school choral assemblies. The result was a pleasingly talented first-experienced Choir. Mr. Hawthorne instructed chairs on musical theory. , H ,.,I gg? . 1. i'l' 5 x i V .ii XM ' 'fir .. 1: . N 5-fav? , 'Q t 5 N A -.

Hawthorneg these students met at 7:45 in the mornings as an un- scheduled choir.
