The Mixed Chorus under the direction of Miss Runk was our largest choral group this year. The choral activities were numerous. At Christmas time the chorus took part in the come munity carol sing. During Holy Wleelc, the chorus sang in the annual student assembly. Later, they otfered two groups ot' selections at the Spring Festi- val. The lNlassed Choral Festixal held at the Civic Auditorium, also found the group participating. The years .activities ended with the presentation of two exchange assemblies. The chorus this year was proud to be outhtted in new blue and white choral robes purchased by the P. T. A. This group hopes that the .appreciation ot good music has been furthered by their efforts. 27

Under the able supervision of Mr. Welcli, faculty advisor, and Miss Haines, typing advisor, the Beacon cast its journalistic light throughout the high school and community as it completed one of the most successful years in its history. Although the editorial stat? of the publication was composed entirely of girls, sports and other masculine activities received the same splendid coverage which had character- ized the Beacon in previous years. Witli Elaine Thomas and Mathilda Otten serving as co-editors, the paper not only enlightened the students as to recent trends of romance about the school, but also presented the latest in sports, club news, interviews, exchange, and news from the music and commercial depart- ments. Helen Crull took over one of the most masculine jobs of the all-girl staff as she portrayed Viking sport affairs to the many Beacon readers. Betty Engstrom added a literary touch to the publication as editor of that department, while Lois Van Malsen, feature ecli- tor, and her staff of reporters, provided the students with plenty of current news hot off the presses . At the bottom of every school romance one could find Neda Runyon and Marge Struik -hastily scribbling down the details for the gossip column of the next Beacon. The job of keeping the school publication out of the red was handled very ably by Marilyn Van Hoeven, Beacon business manager. Miss Haines and her capable production stat? did a splendid job of composing and printing the paper which may truly be hailed as one of the best in Wlyomings history. 26 in , A

This year's Girls' Glee Club was comprised of two sections: the Junior-Senior and the Freshman-Sopho- more Choruses. At Christmas time these groups presented a beau- . , tiful Cantata, The Wondrous Story, as a part of the Christmas assembly. I 6 The choruses also sang in the Good Friday as- Q u sembly, and in the Easter Sunrise Service of the Wyoming Park U. B. church. Two groups of selections were given by the Club at our annual Spring Festival. The girls trio, chosen from the choruses, sang in assemblies, in P.T.A. meetings and in churches. Their outstanding service was the singing of Oh Holy Night at the city-wide carol sing held in the Civic Auditorium, Trio members were Connie Hart' man, Marcia Steketee and Lois Van Malsen. At the change of semesters Connie Hartman was replaced by Marjorie Angus. Q
