In the fall they presented a joint program with the Glee Clubs, Sextet, and Quartet . Their first trip was taken to northern Arkansas as far as Piggott. Later a group of choristers went on a three day tour to southern Arkansas as for south as Magnolia. In Januory they took a trip into southeastern Arkansas to Helena. The longest trip was made in March when the group went through parts of Arkansas, Miss:)uri, and Tennessee. The Chorus not only gave many radio programs but sang before soldiers, for two weddings, gave a Twilight Christmas Concert, sang for the negro church, gave a joint U.S. O. program with the orchestra, and made recordings of hymns to be used on church broodcasts. A new program was given this year by the chorus - on inspirational Thanksgiving Devotional Service at 6:30 in the morning. Under the direction of Mr. Leonard Kirk, the Chorus was not only a source of inspiration for the members but for all who heard them.
