SOPRANOS Karen Maxson, Diane Baan, and Suzanne Speed find that it takes much practice to reach those high notes on pitch. rf Choir Year Looked Upon as a Learning Experience I don't care how many mistakes you make - but try!,' This was Mr. Meeker's encouragement as he strove to provide the Choristers with a learning experience through experimentation. The music studied ranged from the works of the old masters to contemporary folk songs. They were as di- verse as Mozart's 4'Gloria from his Twelfth Mass and Rogers and Hammerstein's No Other Lovef' The Choristers performed for the student body at the Thanksgiving and choir assemblies, in the Christmas pro- gram, and at Commencement Vespers. In addition, they sang publicly throughout the year for local civic groups. Their public performances were climaxed by the annual choir tour, in which the members never know their desti- nation until the day of the trip. DAVE BERNARD, DAVE SCOTT, and Tom Green work toward better intonation as they rehearse for the Christmas program. MR. MEEKER AIDS the Choristers in the interpretation of a musical number.
