WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1924 TENORS, BASSES, TUNE UP HERE! Choral Society Rehearsing for Spring Concert Do you sing? Or, more especially, do you sing tenor or bass? If so, you are overlooking a splendid opportunity to employ your talent and assist in a worth while community ven- ture if you do not attend the rehearsals of the Winnetka Choral society for its approaching concert. Interest in the program by those who are taking part is very keen, but tenors and basses are particularly in demand to make the concert what is should be. Under the direction of Noble Cain, the society is making rapid progress with the program and hopes soon to master .all the numbers. The {feature number of the program will be an ode, "The New Earth," written especially for a chorus and orchestra by Henry Harley. There are also solos, duets and other part songs. The music is varied enough to be interesting and entertain- ing. Every member of the society is en- thusiastic about the music and is finding real pleasure in the rehearsals, it is said. The discovery of new beauties in the compositions with repeated ren- ditions serves to make the practices highly enjoyable to music lovers. Many of the singers will permit no other en- gagements to interfere with their regu- lar attendance, " The concert will be given in Winnetka at a date which has not been definitely determined, though promised for early spring. In order to gain the full enjoyment from the rehearsals and to assist with a really valuable undertaking, all new singers, especially tenors and basses, are urged by the members to attend the next practice to be held Tuesday eve- ning at 8 o'clock in the Winnetka Wom- an's club parlors. Weather Halts Outdoor Play; Enjoy Fun Indoors Owing to the inclement weather, physi- cal training classes at Horace Mann school have been held indoors the past few days. New interest has been aroused in the classes by the introduction of boxing and wrestling for the boys and first aid "nursing for -the girls, under the direc- tion of Miss Elizabeth Kirchner, physi- cal education instructor. The children are enthusiastic about the new lessons and are working hard to become profi- cient in them, it is stated.
