sing on the program to be present
ed with Clellan Card. This how
ever, is not the last appearance Of
the Mixed Chorus, they will sing
for graduation exercises.
Summarizing the years work we
find remarkable progress has been
made. Miss Krogh has had to
work with undeveloped voices but
she has done well.
The latter statement leads us to
another thing; the condition Of the
chorus for next year. Forty-three
pupils from Junior High compose
that chorus and they are all pick
ed voices. Good voices alone are
not enough so Miss Krogh has
taught the Junior Chorus to read.
This will aid greatly in the learn
ing of songs next year for the stu
dents can learn new songs faster.
In fact, Miss Krogh thinks that
the chorus next year will be built
around some Of these forty-three
voices from Junior High. The
whole chorus next year will be pick
ed voices.
Change seems to be the order Of
the day for there will be q change
in the orchestra next year. Instead
Of having practice once week at
! noon as we are now having we will
have orchestra three times a week
on school time. In this way Mr..
Kitzberger hopes to have a much
better orchestra; one that we can
really be proud Of.
Much progress has been made in
the few years that orchestra has
been organized and much more
progress will be made.
Not to be forgotten by any
means is the Rudiments Of Music
class. They don't go to festivals
but Rudiments of Music as the
name indicates is the foundation
on which a good orchestra is bas-
ed. Right now they are making a
life span chart Of the composers
they have listened to during the
year. Some Of the pupils are CIV
ing reports on the lives of these
composers. The class picked a
piece Of each composer that every
one knew and they are playing
them on the piano and other in
struments. They also have records
of some pieces. These pieces win
be included in the final test at the
end Of the year.
