Canine! 6A0ir WITH A WEALTH of skilled and talented material available, a new choir was or- ganized in the fall of ,46. Membership in the WValdorf Choir is the ultimate goal of all choristers who study vocal technique in the Chapel Choir. Although Mr. Hagen organized and instructed the group, Sterling Thomp- son took over the baton the Second semester. After being introduced at Sunday Church Service, the Chapel Choir enriched the Christmas pageant by joining voices with the Waldorf Choir and sang at other church services. Their season was drawn to a close by the spring concert. This group holds great promise for coming years and its members can look back upon this year as one filled with enjoyment and achievement of invaluable training.

gl 0lfl,l05 VERsA'r1LrrY was the keynote of the small, selected vocal groups which were much in demand for school, civic, and church func- tions this year. Two vocal trios: the first consisting of Ruth Peterson, Colleen Olson, and Sylvia Haugen, the second, Dorothy Field, Ramona Swenson, and Ann Leeang and two boy's quartets, the Freshman Quartet made up of Arlie Olson, Gil Olson, Marlin Ingebretson, and Howard Hovland and the Barbershop Quartet made up of Dale Peterson, Allen and Maynard Trel- stad, and Owen Olson, combined diligent work with the pleasure and fun that comes from singing in such groups. The work of these groups, offering pro- grams fundamentally religious but well- spicecl with novelty numbers, showed great promise. Emphasis was placed on a cap- pella singing, but much credit for the fin- ished groups goes to their patient accom- panist-Ruth Langfoss.
