The Goderich Teen Tones were organized in the fall of -1974 by director Irla Stewart. 'Its main objectives are: to develop good choral techniques of tone,, diction, and phrasing; to experience music of many periods and styles; and to enrich - the culture of our com- munity through per- formance. The 27 members of this all -girl choir, range in age from 13 to I8 years. Each year there is a considerable change in. membership as younger girls enter and older ones leave to take jobs or, pursue further education away from Goderich. There is just one charter meniber still singing with the group, Debbie Shaddick, a Grade 12 student at GDCI. Eleven of the members joined a year ago. Another six joined just last fall. Because of the con- tinual change, it is quite a challenge to maintain continuity in the, quality of music • presented. The choir rehearses each Tuesday night With eyes like this who cares about his %t? We do! We care because we specialize in fitting children's shoes. We care enough to take a personal inter- est in properly fitting every child who comes into our store for shoes. As an independent shoe store, we depend on your repeat business for our success. And since only satisfied cus- tomers will return to a store, we do our best to ensure theat our shoes give complete satisfaction. Don's Shoe Place "Because you're worth it!"
