Juniors and Seniors, comprising the Southwestern Robed Choir, had many interesting and enjoyable exper- iences throughout the year. Under the direction of Mrs. Faybelle Linke, they opened the season with a program for the Flat Rock Citi- zens at Flat Rock. October 23, 1958 was an eventful day for many of them who were privileged to join almost a thousand other teenagers in a mass choir which sang before the Indiana State Teachers Association in Indianapolis. At the Christmas Program for Southwestern, the choir had the pleasure of experiencing two firsts. 'Two Much Mistletoe was the Hrstplaylet to be presented from the new SHS stage, and the choir members made their debut in their new robes at that time. Several of our top-notch musical groups, as well as individuals, were entered in the District Vocal Con- test at Franklin on January 31, and won distinction for our school. Early in February the choir presented a program at the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church. The dedication of the building on March 15, highlighted the year's events for the choral group. Appro- priately, they sang Bless This House, for this memorable occasion. Late in March the SHS Vocal Department hosted the Shelby County District Music Festival. Juniors and seniors assumed the responsibility of providing entertainment and food for the visiting students between the prac- tice session in the afternoon and the performance at night. Graduation activities in May completed the choir's program for the year.
