| Mr.. Eastman is very desirous of or
ganizing choral union of the singers
of Denison. There is no part of mus
ical training which is more helpful than
a membership in first-class choral or
ganization. Tt not only accustoms a
person to reading music, but brings
one into close association with the mas
ter pieces of the greatest musicians. 1t
is not necessary that we should have a
solo voice to belong to such singing
club. The voices that are most needed
and those which constitute the work.
ing force of a chorus are those which
blend we'll with other voices and are al.
ways found at rehearsal. Denison has
enough good singers to form a chorus
of from IS to 100 voices and it is SIN.
cerely hoped that such an organization
can be effected in the near future.
