The addition of a boys' chorus to the music department this year made it possible to combine the girls' and boys' groups into a Mixed Chorus which appeared at the various school functions and offered a much more interesting and varied program than has been previously possible. The high-light of the years' musical presentations was the operetta El Bandido , directed by Mrs. Kitt, in which the entire high school music department took part. Solo parts in the operetta were taken by Ruth Mantha, Phyllis Babcock. Lonnie Durham, Kenneth Long, and Bob Sprague. The operetta was very favorably received by a large and enthusiastic audience.
