'f A jf-ln . .lv l - ,.. Mmecf Ghmwi During this past school year, exactly 150 students of XVyom- ing High School took advantage of the opportunity to sing as members of the mixed chorus. The primary requisite for a stu- dent wishing to join this chorus is that he or she must have a desire to sing. The mixed chorus aims to raise the standards of singing in the school and com- munity to a higher level. During the Christmas season the mixed chorus and dramatics department combined their ef- forts and presented for the third succesive year a stimulating and exalting rendition of The Na- tivity. This annual Christmas pageant has proven itself an out- standing event on the school's calendar. An outstanding number at the Spring Music Festival was the negro spiritual, Listen to the Lambs, which was sung by the mixed chorus. Many members of the music department are furthering their musical education and experi- ence by singing or playing in other church, civic, and social organizations. A large enrollment is antici- pated for next year in as much as only 14 members of this group are graduating. I5Iany good voices are expect- ed to ioin the mixed chorus next year from the ranks of the jun- ior High Chorus, which this year has an average enrollment of 77. Kmfelizzg: T. Meekhof, IE. Kist, G.
