The Chorale performed at convocations and other programs at B.H.S. They met one-half hour each week for rehearsals during the club period on Thursday. In May, 1958,the members for the Chorale were chosen by Mrs. VeraTurner, assisted by Miss Violet Martindale. Assignmentswere made according to voice parts. In the following monthssome voices have changed so the places of these people in theChorale have changed accordingly. The aim of the Chorale,besides singing for fun, was to continue interest in singingfor junior high school pupils in preparation for senior highchoral groups which they may join later. Arrangements ofsongs by Professer Irvin Cooper from his book, Sing One-Sing All have been used this year. Professor Cooper is aspecialist in the vocal problems of the changing voice. Thisyear there have been twenty-two members of the EighthGrade Chorale, eleven girls and eleven boys.
