Swing choir, known as The Early Dawn, sang at a number of programs throughout the year. The 22 member group performed at the Hyatt House in December and at Howard Johnson ' s in May. The trebel choir received a two rating at Large Group Contest, com- pleting a successful and active year. The 45 member group performed with the orchestra and concert chorus at a program in December. An informal trio, consisting of Liz Dunn, Jane Voigts, and Court- ney Neumann, added a note of nos- talgia to many programs singing tunes from the ' 40 ' s.
