MACKEY HARDY MARSHALL RILEY LAWRENCE Oscoon SHEPARD SIMONDS SPARKS SKINNER Director: R. E. REYNOLDS Under the direction of Mr. Reynolds the choir has added much to the Sunday evening vesper services. A very pleasing program was arranged at Christmas time and was well rendered by the choir. Perhaps one of the most striking features of the year was the Easter Music. Mr. Reynolds increased the number in the choir for this special program, and neither time nor labor was spared, resulting in a splendid concert, which was thoroughly appreciated by everyone who heard it. During the year various members of the choir have rendered solos, and the male quartette has also varied the programs with some Well chosen numbers. On May 28, 1926, the choir went to Rutland to compete with nine other choirs before an audience of one thousand people. The judges were unanimous in awarding the prize of fifty dollars in gold to the Vermont Academy choir. The choir has enjoyed a successful year and much credit is due Mr. Reynolds for the work he has put into this organization.

'l'his is the first time in several years that the school has maintained such an organization. The group rendered several selections at the Christ- mas Yesper service and also appeared in the Yaudeville show of February IQ. At the latter time they rendered three selections all of which were very well received. 'l'hey were as follows: Free as the W'ind that Blows-W'11,sON. Louisianna RosewDoDGE. hlosquitoes. lX'Ir.
