Forty of the most capable singers in the school were chosen to make up the choir. Its first appearance was at a P. T. A. meeting early in the season. The choir sang appropriate numbers in the Christmas Pageant, as well as furnishing the soloists for it. This organization participated in the invitation music festival at K. S. T. C., Emporia. From this group, capable quartettes and soloists were chosen to represent the school in this festival. Pauline Moorhead, the accompanist, assisted Miss Knotts in a very creditable l1lll!lll0l'.
