cation, February l, at S p. m.
The choir sings entirely cappel
la, never having appeared on tour
with any instrument of accompani-
ment. Furthermore, II is one OF
the very few choiIs n the country
which has obtained national rating,
singing nothing but sacred scores
in concert.
Under the direction of Ellis EN-
anuel Snyder, the choir members
are put through intensive training
sessions with rehearsals more than
an hour In length, four times a
week and IN several weekly private
sessions. After at least four
months Of these rehearsals. the
Chapel Choir takes the road fol
extended tours, one of which brings
it to this city.
Reviyin annually the most recog-
nized and difficult choral works, the
Chapel Choir nevertheless does not
scorn the contemporary composers.
Works Of the mas'ars are present
ed along with such ''moderns" as

ers, all OF whom have written music
especia ly for the Chapel Choir.
The Chapel Choir Is composed OF
students OF the Capital University
conservatory, one of the largest in
the state OF Ohio, Is ranked as one
OF the foremost in eastern United
states by virtue OF this and other
musical organizations, many of
which have taken top honors In
music contests. Though the fact
that its members are students
would make 1t seem that the voices
are underdeveloped. the amount OF
elimination following a rigid series
of try-outs each year makes 1t pos
sible for Conductor Snyder and his
assistants to accept only those
voices that show necessary
amount of previous training and
experience.
Now in its 18th year OF concert
singing. the Chapel Choir has been
heard annually in leading music
centers OF the nation. Singing be.
fore an audience Of 1000 enthusiasts

To Open Fund Raising
Drive for Boys Clubs
Special Committee to
Press Campaign for
Athletic Association

A Embarrassing campaign for the
benefit of the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Athletic Association Boys Club will
be launched tomorrow by the
Bethesda tMdD Junior Chamber of
Commerce
The chamber has appointed a
special Youth Welfare Committee
to devise various fund-rising activ-
tiles which will include a thorough
house-to-h canvass of the Be-
thesda- Chevy Chase areas next
week.
The chamber became interested in
sponsoring the youths group when
attention was called to the lack of
a well-rounded, all-year athletic
program for the community.
Hugo Brooks brought the matter
to the attention of the chamber
several months ago and about two
weeks ago a resolution was adopted
to sponsor the organization.
Last July about 20 boys who were
interested in obtaining recreational
facilities, organized among them
selves and took the title of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Athletic As
sociation.
Since that time they have in
creased their membership to about
As boys, Mr.. Brooks declared,
Believing that the youths would
make quicker progress if they re-
ceived the organized support of the
community, the junior chamber de-
cided to conduct Embarrassing
campaign for them. The sponsors
welcome any assistance from outside
interests which will contribute to
the success of the drive.
The club now has available the
use of facilities at the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Recreational Center,
but does not have funds with which
to purchase equipment.
Starting tomorrow, Mr.. Brooks
said, honorary membership cards
in the boys club will go on sale.
Display posters and windshield
markers will also be distributed
An honorary member Will OBTAIN
the privileges of admission to ath-
letic events which are being planned
by the club.
The officers of the Youth Welfare
Committee, who are assisting Mr..
Brooks, are Jeffrey Creyke, vice
chairman; Vayden Emory, treas
urer: Basil Carr, research worker;
Harry Callahan, athletic director;
George Teunis, publicity; Raymond
Dugan, educational guidance, and
William Norman, chief solicitor.
A joint meeting between members
of the boys organization and the
Junior Chamber of Commerce will
be held Sunday at 8 pm. in the
Bethesda Chevy Chase High School.
