r ,ye :Jam CHE junior high chorus, as the name suggests, is composed of students from seventh, eighth and ninth grades. It is the stepping stone to the senior high chorus. Those who are not members must try out for the senior high Ch0rl1S. There was a scarcity of boys this year. Boys are encouraged to join, in order to prepare for a better tenor and bass section in senior high work. In the candlelight service the junior high chorus did a commendable job. Mr. Ryan was very much pleased with the way they responded to his direction. They show great possibilities for the future.

To perform music of a more worthwhile nature. This group under the direction of Mr. Ryan is used as a testing ground or county and district choruses. The,chorale first presented itself in fine array, singing two special num- bers in the candlelight service. Although the chorale is in the experimental A stage, it seems to be working out well. MR.

C USIC is a revelation of man's inner mood. It can be light and merry or deep and majestic This describes, in part, the work done by the senior high chorus. The chorus has presented a varied program. The annual candlelight service this year had two new features: The girl's chorus and the chorale. The chorus, as in the past two years, presented a Gilbert and Sullivan operettag this year it was Yeomen 2 tif Guard. Productions of this kind take a lot of preparation and hard work. But along with all the work went much learnin ' and fun. The seniors compose about one -half of the entire chorus. This means that the underclass- men will have many places to fill next year. To Mr, Ryan, we as seniors, give our sincere thanks for taking us through to the finish, always coming out on the top! 61
