The mystery of how the choir gets its pitch was cleared up by the leader when he explained that one of the girls had abso­ lute perfect pitch. “She just pings off the notes for the next song while I receive the applause from the last,” he said. “We don’t, however, depend on her to ke©p the choir on its toes. Every girl must be responsible for her own pitch and often in rehersals the girls are asked to hold their own individually for a good length of time.” “In leader means girls must be willing to attend all rehearsals if they are to get anything out of it.” After Hours The Guild of Trivitt Memorial Church report a profit of $80 from a bake and apron sale held recently under their auspices.* * * Dot Hall was on top for lady bowlers in the league last week.

They listen to try to get the style achieved by the choir and sit in on rehearsals. “I am just as pleased with untrain­ ed voices,” Mr, Terry said. “They are much easier to mould into a more desirable blending. We go through a period of voice exer­ cises before reheasal mainly to try to achieve good voice pro­ duction and uniformity so that we will have a unit rather than a group of varying and indivi­ dual voices. “One thing we try to get is the atmosphere for the particu­ lar song we are doing. We read the song over two or three times and then try to decide just what we the its try interest feel is the very best idea of each song.” Mr. Terry does most of the ar­ ranging himself and that with sometimes three rehearsals a week as well as trips and con­ cert tours makes his life very give was length of time.” the final analysis,” the commented, “it just good hard work and the Main Street WA List Officers The slate of officers for 1952 was given by Mrs. Layton at the December meeting of the Main Street Evening Auxiliary.
