W.H.S. Choir Acts As Ambassador of Song

Composed of only sixty members, the Washington High School Choir filled the year with success, in the field of music as well as in money projects undertaken by the group. This success was due to the combined effort,ambition, and initiative shown from early fall until graduation. Many of Brainerd's leading organizations had the pleasure of listening to the choir's perfected music which varied from the finest and most difficult music such as Bach's double choir motet, "Sing Ye", to lighter music such as "The Woodchuck Song". The local organizations who acted as hosts to the choir included the Lion's Club, the Rotary Club, and a Parent-teachers Association. The choir also displayed their musical talent at numerous public concerts highlighted by the Christmas concert which was held in conjunction with the Girls' Glee Club and many local church choirs. Once again, they attained top ratings at both the district choir clinic in Little Falls and the state choir clinic in Minneapolis. With the phrase, "On to Chicago" indicating their goal, the choir members supported many rewarding projects. The first of these projects was a refreshment stand at each home game. Competing with the band, they held their annual magazine subscription drive in the fall.
