from end to end, and the parties

CHORUS OF THOUSAND
VOICES Is PLANNED
Civic Clubs to Cooperate i'm Supply
ing Singers For Christmas
Celebration.

Through the cooperation of the
Civic clubs of the city the problem
of an adequate chorus for the mu-
nicipal Christmas tree celebration
has been very largely solved. Each
of the Civic clubs has volunteered
TO supply a section of the chorus
and it is hoped that each section"
will mean at least 100 voices, so that
the chorus may attain 1000 voices.
If each club responds as enthus-
iasticaIly as is hoped, the adult
chorus will be the most impressive
feature of the celebration.
The first rehearsal Of this chorus
will be held Monday evening in the
music room of the High school
under the able direction of Miss
Effie Harmon, supervisor Of music
in the schools. Miss Harmon has
had wide experience in the organ
ization and training of choruses and
is entering with enthusiasm into the
plans for the municipal celebration.
