The thirty-two members and the accompanist, Rachel Harriman, have faithfully rehearsed every Monday evening and sometimes, just before the performance, on Wednesday evening. Their first appearance was on convocation night at the Presbyterian Church at the Men's Bible Reading Contest, and in March at the Women's Bible Reading Contest. The music for the Day of Prayer was provided by the choir. The choir gave several numbers at the musical program at Wilberforce on International Day and at the meeting of the Wilmington District of the Methodist Church in Jamestown in May. On Easter Sunday they sang in the First Presbyterian Church. On Illumination Night they gave a song festival. They topped the year off by singing at the Baccalaureate Services. The choir was under the direction of Mrs. Mildred Creswell the first semester, and Mrs. Mary C. Markle the second. Everyone, including the members and the audiences, greatly enjoyed the choir.
