SEN IORS COMPOSE SELECT VOCAL MUSIC UNIT Small, but not unheard of, the South Singers is an organization composed of sixteen singing seniors. Mr. Harding originated this group, a unit of the choir, last year and when it proved to be a success it was continued. They met three times a week, alternating with Southerner Staff or a study hall. Singing for the Teachers' League at Vocational High School was one of the many things they have done this year. Lending a hand at the Christmas Con- cert was another of their many hilights. The solists for the Christmas Concert were Ioyce Larson and Karen Iohnson. The two girls who ac- companied the singers were Mary Ellen Lipinski and Karen Whaley. Row 3.

These familiar words echoed across the football held as the South High band practiced formations for coming football games. The group, directed by Art Lawrence, was made up of seventy four members including the maiorettes and color guards. Parading for four of the seasons' games was only one of the many obligations of this musical organization.

Under the direction of Mr. Harding, the choir was a very active organization this year. Partici- pating in the Christmas and Easter programs, the choir made other appearances also. An out-of-town appearance which was part of their schedule was one of these. Singing in churches and other schools also seemed to be a specialty of theirs. ln Decem- ber, they sang at the Southdale Shopping Center, APPEARS IN MANY PLACES Edina. The choir is made up mainly of juniors and seniors who have previously been in the Choral Club or Girls' Glee Club. They have worked very hard to make this year's choir the success it be- came.
