The chorus sang a required number and a number of their own choice to earn their awards. The songsters also received excellent rat- ings on their “sight readings” of three composi- tions. Throughout the year the chorus presented special programs. At Christmas the chorus and English department presented a choralogue for the student body. The Roosevelt and Lincoln choruses exchanged assembly programs.
