CHORUS One day as I was walking down the hall I happened to hear a lady mumbling to herself about how she simply must have someone to sing bass in her chorus. I lust couldn't stand to see a lady in distress so what did I do? Well naturally, I bashfully padded over to her and then sheepishly told her how I, Iniun Joe, was the very best bass singer in my tribe. I also told her that before I would consider singing in her chorus I must have more information about it. She introduced herself to me as Miss Margaret Dougherty, head of the vocal department in Watseka. Under her direction were a girls' chorus, a boys' chorus, and a mixed chorus. The girls' chorus is a vocal group of about 25. They sing three part harmony--soprano, second soprano, and alto. The girls have a special contest group that meets each Friday. The boys' chorus is a vocal group of about 30. They meet each Friday. They also sing three part harmony. The mixed chorus is the largest of her vocal groups. They number approximately 45. This group sings four part harmony. In addition to these vocal groups, Miss Dougherty also has two octettes and a mixed quartet under her direction. MIXED CHORUS
