One of the biggest activities of the year was the Minstrel Show which the boys presented for the first time They gave a brief preview and all agreed it was some- thing memorable for the coming years. Another featured act which thefensemble and choru: appeared in was the Christmas program. Jan Munch anc Joe Florini, two boys from the ensemble, sang a duet Jan also sang a solo later in the program. Both of these boys were accompanied by Eden Martin on the piano Also helping, was Philip, Eden's brother, who took part in playing for the chorus, while Miss Mace, both boys and girls' chorus instructor, led in singing. Some of the boys who do not have enough extra periods for chorus car still be eligible for the ensemble. Miss Mace was assisted by Mr. Ferrari and Mr Harrison, two student teachers from Eastern Illinois State College, for six weeks. They did an excellent job giving some of the boys extra training in voice lessons.

Girls' Chorus Mo Girls' Chorus received an eviction notice at the xeginning of the year, when they were moved from their lice big room to a partially closed-off section of the iownstairs hall. Due to the fact that their practice quarters were so crowded, the full Girls' Chorus held heir practice sessions in the band room. This, it seems, :ook muscles g the girls had first to set up their own chairs and then put them away when they were finished. Mem- bers of the Ensemble, which met in the new room, zan, in all probability, say that they now know how a :ardine feels. The reason for this only seemingly unjust ict on the part of the school was really that two classes uf sixth graders moved into two of the rooms in the base- nent. I-Iowever, it wasn't their eviction that caused the Sirls' Ensemble to haunt the building at night some- zimes, but rather their desire to do a little brushing ip on their harmonizing. Both chorus and ensemble vork were directed by Miss Mace, the vocal music ieacher, who has led singers of S.H.S. to many first- :lace victories in state competition. At Christmas time, the Girls' Chorus presented a nusical program for the residents of the Illinois Masonic lome. They also sang several songs for the school at the lnnual Christmas party, sang for the Woman's Club, and :ang at several churches in town. Boys' and Girls' Choruses :ombined forces for the Spring Concert. Janet Whitaker was a member ofGirls'Ensemble for our years. Beth Stricklan and Dixie Hortenstine were nembers for three years.
