Here he learns to blend voices of different range and timbre into a musi- cal and tonal panaroma. Other vocal groups, such as the Girls' Ensemble and Mixed Ensemble, are derived from the stu- dents in this chorus who exhibit a greater aptitude and interest, thereby permitting them to perform music beyond the scope of a general choral group. During this year the Mixed Chorus participated in the Christmas program and also the Spring Con- cert. The Mixed Chorus is under the direction of Mr. Clark G. Nevin. 99
