Ofk Jil Melo Any member of the Mixed Chorus can tell you that this group is an organization which trains the aspiring but uncultured musician in the ways of sightfsinging, enunciation, harmony, and pitch. Cnly when these elements are thoroughly mastered is the chorus member considered for entrance into the Symphonic Choir. The Mixed Chorus is under the able direction of jolin P. Hamilton, who guides them to mastery of f h the fundamentals of choral singing. Many students in the Mixed Chorus take the subject or t e en . joyment they achieve when they give pleasure to others. The Chorus is divided into two groups, meeting the third and seventh periods, respectively, but they blend their voices when they participate in a program or assembly. Although the chorus does not itself participate in outside musical activities, it proves its worth when combined with the choir during the holiday season and at the graduation exercises.

Goeringer. ' Energetic, ambitious and willing-these are the three adjectives that best describe a Symphonic Choir member. To create and maintain a reputation such as this choir has is not an easy task. It ref quires the establishment of an unlimited repertoire that contains songs for every type of occasion. Perf formances on short notice, presentation of musicals, participation in festivals, top honors at contests, and inspirational interpretations of Christmas carols are but a few of the achievements a choir memf ber soon regards as routine matterfa The Choir is governed by two groups of officers, one, democratically elected by the members, handles the business and social affairs, the other, appointed by Mr. J. P. Hamilton, aids in carrying out musical chores. In addition to distributing music during class hours, the latter group holds extra rehearsals for the individual sections in their homes, drilling them for hours so that perfect tone, pitch, and memorization are achieved. Choir, however, is not all work. Organized dances are held each semester, a scmifformal in September, and an informal one in April. ln addition, a Choir member finds great enjoyment in group participation. For all its fine voices, the choir might still be mediocre if it did not so accurately reflect the spirit of its sponsor, Mr. John P. Hamilton. 25
