GIRLS CHORUS This organization began in October, under the direction of Mr. Ferszt. At that time the chorus consisted of 50 members. Although several have moved or otherwise left, new girls have joined, keeping the number at 50. With Joanna Marshall as accompianist, melodious songs are sung in two parts. However, three part harmony is the aim of the chorus. Its public appear- ance was at the Parent-Teacher Meeting on May 5.
