Vocal Music

Music

Our Music Department has taken an upward leap this year under the supervision of Mrs. McLaughlin. A chorus of seventy voices was organized in the beginning of the school year and has made rapid progress. They met for practice three times each week at the close of the day's session. Besides furnishing a great share of the music for the Musical given in March, the chorus has sung at the different churches and each time has won great praise for their excellent work.

The Octette and the Orchestra, composed of ten members, have not shown themselves inferior to the chorus in progress, enthusiasm, and ability.

Our musical organizations this year have received a foundation which will enable them to become very efficient next year. However, it is the regret of this department that Mrs. McLaughlin will not be with us to build on the foundation which she has so firmly established in this year's work.
