The chorus boys “swab the deck” for Miss Crystle as they perform “A Whale of a Tale. Chorus 169 Chorus Lives In Miss Crystle’s Magic Kingdom “Are you going to take chorus this year?” “No, I don’t think so.” “Come on man, It will be fun.” “O.K., but I better like it.” This was the conversation heard be- fore many people ever decided to step into Miss Crystle’s chorus room. Although many joined on this basis, there were no regrets. Chorus was packed with excite- ment, and there was always something going on. Even Miss Crystle had to work with a busy schedule. She had enrolled in F.S.U. and had to go to Tallahassee every morning be- fore coming back to school to teach her own class. This had both good and bad effects. Miss Crystle had to study when she had a big test coming up. On the other hand, when no one wanted to work, she would tell the class to get on the ball. “If you think you have it rough, wait until you get into college.” Between Miss Crystle’s classes and everyone else’s ex- tracurricular activities, the class managed to put on fine shows. The first exhibition was at the Square in Quincy at Christmas time. Several chorales caroled on the Court- house steps. Mr. Bevis gave a speech to fit the occasion of the lighting of the Courthouse. The second show was the Christmas Vespers. The Munroe Chorale shared the stage with church choirs. The practice went on for months before. Christy Hill and Ram- sey Curry were always run- ning off sheet music in the of- fice and Bill Higdon was creating a musical disturbance with the new instruments. Even with the distractions, the Vespers was one of the best ever. The grand finale was May- day. This involved not only singing but dancing as well. The chorale boys sang “Davy Crockett” and “A Whale of a Tale”. The girls vocalized “He’s a Tramp” and So This is Love.” The final entourage consisted of the elementary and high school chorus mem- bers singing “It’s A Small World”. Members of the Mick- ey Mouse Club divided up and led the younger chorus mem- bers in the grande finale that simulated a kaleidoscope.
