The sextet sings on many programs with the chorus, is featured in concerts with the men's glee club, and is composed of Betty Jane Carter and Jeanne Chouteau, first sopranos, Marguerite Barker and Patricia Halbert, second sopranos, Mildred Lanier and Carmen Price, altos. The mixed chorus is the largest music organization at Harding. Its members are determined by a love for singing and a willingness to work. The longest trip this year was late in January through parts of Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi. A few short trips throughout the year were made by the chorus. Because of tire and gas rationing the chorus could not go in person to sing, but made and distributed a large number of recordings of hymns, spiritual songs, and secular numbers. An annual program was given by the chorus in a twilight Christmas concert. They also engaged in a Thanksgiving devotional service at 6: 30 in the morning. Under the baton of Mr. Leonard Kirk, the chorus worked and had fun, and its activi - ties were a source of inspiration for the members and also those who heard them. Christine Neal was accompanist for the group.
