Senior Chorus Goes for the Gold! With "Go for the Gold! " as their inspiring motto, the eighty members of senior high chorus strove to maintain the standards of excellence set for them in previous yea rs. A hamburger cookout a t Lance Bailey's house early in the year let the singers get to know each other a little better - and in the process the entire group discovered a certain member 's well -kept secret of exactly two years, four months, and seven days! Fall tour took half the group down to the middle Texas towns of Fort Worth and Dallas. Singing at Dallas Chr istian High School gave many members a chance to be reunited with friends and former teachers, while a pizza party on Halloween night gave some mysteri ous pranksters in Arkadelphia a chance to express their "friendliness" by uniting their shav ing cream with the lettering on the Harding University bus. Harding Academy hosted the All -Region Chorus tryouts for the second consecutive year, and had six of the ir own members to place in the cho rus. Those who ranked high enough went on to tryout for the All -State Chorus later in the year. A surpri se appearance made by Santa himself added the fin ishing touch to the Christmas program presented on December 11. Held at the Administration Auditorium, this program caught the spirit of Christmas with selections by the junior and senior choruses, plus a special women 's ensemble. A few days later, members of the chorus demonstrated the true spirit of the season by carolling in two local hospitals. January brought the Arkansas Christ ian High School Choral Festival, directed by Arthur Shearin. Harding's chorus combined with Central Arkansas Christian's fo r a day of rehearsal and fellowship , and presented a program that night. With February came the Valentine booth , which specialized in carnations and singing telegrams. Students worked hard and put in long hours in orde r to raise money for the spring tour to Florida. Of course Disneyworld was the highlight of the trip , with stops at other points of interest along the way. A program of religious music dedi cated to parent s ended the year fo r the group. ~ 1.
