A CAPPELLA CHOIR The Richmond Union High School A Cappella Choir, well known throughout the bay area, was composed of 32 members this term. The object of the Choir is to sing various types and arrangements of unaccompanied music. To sing as well as possible for their own pleasure and for public appearances is the general aim of the choir members. The success they have enjoyed is due to their accom- plishment in music and to Mr. Cunningham’s able leadership. This season the group sang for the R. U. H. S. Student Body, the Thousand Oaks P.- T. A., the Contra Costa Development Association, the Lions and Rotary Clubs, Rich- mond City Women’s Club, the American Legion, the Memorial Day Program in Memo- rial Park, the Ladies’ Auxiliary of Foreign Wars, the Defense Program, the Graduation Exercises, the Annual Christmas Concert, and the San Jose Music Festival.
