the Nebraska Teachers college.

ing. The record was set last year
with one hundred two members.
Five years ago the charter attend
ance was 26."
Mr. Howerton seemed very well
pleased with the voice quality of
the individuals enrolled. He ex
pressed the opinion that it was
much superior to that of former
years.
' The music that the group is
working on this year is much more
difficult but the group seems to be
working very hard and above all
they are working together," stated
Howerton.
Howerton is the director' of
music at Hiram College, Hiram,
Ohio, and is an authority on con
