M. FLATT Practice No. 7 -64 --Feb. 18- -Town Hall. President Geo. Cousins was welcomed back. George has been missed for sev- eral weeks at rehearsal and everyone was beaming when they heard that little extra punch in the Bari. section. The gang sing was scratched this week and after the guests were introduced formal practice was begun. We are always happy when a new song is started as the "oldies" get a much need- ed rest and the men are en- thusiastic over some of those new chords. Every new song seems to give us a musical ex- perience along with a challenge to do our very best. For some strange reason, our directors want to "hang" on those chords that they feel have that certain sound. If he is hanging on, it must be right. 0--0--0 The business and smoke per- iod was short this week as all of our affairs are being looked af- ter and there seem to be no new problems. Secretary Ray Walk- er read the minutes of the last meeting and these were adopt- ed. Pres. Geo. commented on the good attendance which is holding up week after week. Average attendance this year has been 27 to date. There have been 39 men out at least once Shower for Miss Hamilton FORDWICH--Mrs. Phyllis Bolander, Mrs. William Soth- ern and Mrs. Anson Demerling entertained about 75 ladies in the Fordwich Community Hall for a miscellaneous shower on Thursday evening in honour of Miss Linda Hamilton, who will be married early in March. During the evening a short play "The Gathering of the Nuts , was given. A bride's book was also cornpleted. Linda was asked to go to the platform and Mrs. Lyle Sim- mons read an address in poetry. The bride -elect was assisted in opening her gifts by her mother, Mrs. George Hamilton, Mrs, Polkalyko, and Misses Susan and Jenny Hamilton. Linda thanked everyone and lunch was served. this year and since our begin- ning in Jan. 63, we have seen 85 different faces. That's a lot of singers. If they all come out on the same nite, we will have to find a new practice hall. 0--0--0 A word about the Baritones -- These are the misfits of music in Barbershop Harmony as they sing above and below the mel- ody. They must have a keen musical ear, and it is almost essential that they read music well enough to appreciate their part, as it is a real roughie. We have seen passages where there was not one note in the scale and the first thing they must have is an accurate lead section. They must have as good a range as most church choir tenors. When our Bari. section is full, it is a pure de- light to listen to them weaving all over the place, putting in the notes that nobody else wants in order to fill the chord. The part that they sing makes no melody whatsoever and it must be very hard to practice at home (in the shower only). 0--0--0 Practice was so intense this week that my throat has had it and just to remind you --there are only four practices left (regular, that is) before our T.V. show. Get after those words, and watch the director. Sing you next week. News of Fordwich Mrs. Ruby Forester visited all last week with friends in Toronto. Mr. and Mrs, Robt. Con- nell, Mrs. Robt.
