MUSIC GROUPS
Musical talent and dedication
contribute to successful tours
Membership in the A Cappella chorus again
exceeded fifty with participation divided among
sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
Under the direction of Ray Wright, the traveling
chorus, a selected group of about forty members,
took a four day fall trip to Texas, Louisiana, and
Arkansas. The chorus sang in three churches and
one school giving inspirational programs to the
large audiences. A longer trip in the spring took
the chorus to Oklahoma and northern Texas.
Other activities of the group included participation
in a district festival at Little Rock, a state
festival at Hot Springs and performances for
civic groups in Searcy and the surrounding area.
EMPHATICALLY picking out notes to
melody of new pieces is Mr. Wright
