There is an ouTTiT! exclaimed Mr. T-lalTvar- son, WesT l-ligh music direcTor, when asked abouT The Junior Choir. The choir's primarily a Training group which prepares The Treshman, sophomores, and juniors inTeresTed in music Tor The A Cappella Choir. SighT reading, proper use oT voice, blending Tones. and Tollowing The direcTor's baTon are especially sTressed. AT The annual ChrisTmas concerT given by The choral groups Tor The enTerTainmenT OT The P.T.A., The group sang Carol oT The Bells by LeonTovich, O SancTissima, a Sicilian carol, and JungsT's While By My Sheep, which was eTTecTively echoed by The Senior A Cappella. The group had a sTrong Tenor secTion, buT was greaTly hindered by The laclr oT bass voices: PAGE 58 however, quiTe a Tew quarTeTs, ocTeTs, and small ensembles groups were organized. The choir has no robes aT The presenT, buT They will evenTually inheriT The old Senior Choir robes. Some OT The numbers ThaT The group en- joyed singing during The year were Climb Up The MounTain, Chillun, Lord oT l-losTs, Re- ioice and Sing, Bluebirds, Kerry Dance, Londonderry Air, Carmef1a WalTz Song, FairesT Lord Jesus, CommiT Thy Ways, Now The Day is Over, and Nunc DimiTis.

Since The group was so small, Mr. l-lalTvar- son had a beTTer opporTuniTy To work individu- ally wiTh each girl's voice. Small ensemble sing- ing during The year proved inTeresTing and insTrucTive.
