High School Chorus Cj“HE vocal department has enlarged and added several new groups this year. Choral groups at S.C.S. consist of the High School Mixed Chorus, Junior High Mixed Chorus. Grade Chorus, High School Choir and The Girls’ Quartet. Our activities for the year included: music for the Senior Play, Winter Concert, Spring Concert and Commencement. In addition to this we had a busy Christ- mas season. The Junior Chorus collected fruit for the Hospital and presented a program of carols for the Bathgate patients. The High School Mixed Cho- rus presented Fred Waring’s “The Song of Christmas” at an evening P. T. A. meeting on December 15th and repeated the performance on December 23rd for a student assembly. There are some two-hundred students participating in one or another of the vocal groups at S.C.S. Considering the fact that most of the groups were newly formed, we feel that we have had a profitable and enjoyable year. Quartet P. Waterman, A. VanDuscn, M. Tompkins, M. Newman. First Row; E.
