Soul Choir Sings The famous Saginaw High Soul Choir had another fabulous year which included a successful tour of the East Coast, the cutting of their second record album, as well as many perfor- mances at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Mrs. Marian McKinnie was again delighted with the fine group of singers she had the pleasure to work with this past year. The group was selected for many honors and was in great demand. None of the members of the Soul Choir will ever forget the great experience of being part of one of Saginaw High's most suc- cessful organizations.
