Girls' Concert Choir Performs For Local Church Programs FEATURED THROUGHOUT the city and state, Wasson's Girls' Concert Choir entertained for many church and civic club meetings. In December the group appeared on a Christmas television broadcast: later the choir completed at the State Regional Music Festival. These guest appearances were arranged by Mr. Bearzi, the director of the group. The Girls' Concert Choir was also given the chance to sing for the Wasson student body at the Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies and at the Musical Revue. Their last major performances were given during the spring tour in May. In addition to expanding to a sixty-five voice choir, the Girls' Concert Choir also chose to wear short black formals. Their elected officers for this year were Virginia Dewitt, president: Jane Delashmutt, vice- presidentg and Terry Cisneros, secretary-treasurer. A stained glass window at St. Paul's Methodist Church forms a background for a Yuletide concert.

The first, the winter program, was given in February under the direction of Mr. Ron Mills. This concert of classical music was followed by a popular music concert given in April.

Spring Tour Closes Choristers' and Watones' Busy Year CHORISTERS, DIRECTED by Mr. Meeker, started practicing early in the year for Wasson's first musical revue. Combining the qualities of a talent show and a concert, the revue placed special emphasis on humor and originality and provided an opportunity for the in- volvement of many talented Wasson students. Besides this two hour revue presented in March, the Choristers performed for Thanksgiving and Christmas assemblies, special television appearances, and other programs. The Choristers' ultimate goal was their May choir tour to an undisclosed location. The Chorister officers for the 1967-68 year were Soozi Palmer and Curtis Snook, co-presidents, Vicki Norris and Mark Downing, co-secretaries, and Lisa Gi- rard, treasurer. By wearing long brocade dresses, the Watone girls added a new note of formality to Wasson's madrigal group. Being able to provide entertainment for many audiences, including a group of wounded veterans from Vietnam, rewarded the Watones for their 7:00 a.m. practices.
