They were com- posed of officers and representatives who proved to be very effective in maintaining a close rela- tionship between the choirs and Mr. Gibson. The Varsity Choir Council demonstrated its strength by providing specific jobs for the council members and maintaining a set of rules pertaining to performance attendance. The council was also instrumental in the choir's decisions involving in- vitations to give performances, participation onthe district contest, and the presentation of the formal concert. The Freshman Choir Council increased its powers by supervising plans for a dance, reviewing invi- tations for choir performances, and establishing a dress code for the choir.
