Now in addition to their Wednesday evening sessions devoted exclusively to the enjoyment of singing, the members arc being offered the opportunity for vocal instructions by Prof. William F. Outline, of the Carroll college music department. Saturday classes will allow the society to satisfy its desire for more of the excellent training which Professor Guthrie has to offer, in addition to their weekly musical fests.

The choral society members arc increasingly enthusiastic a Professor Outline's method of tone production. His efforts directed toward one section of the chorus at a time result in amazing results in a minimum effort, both for the chorus as a whole and the singers' individual capacities. Represent Many Groups From businesses, family groups, bodies, and professional singers in this area, the choral society draws its talent. The members represent an interesting cross of the population. The officers are an example.

Ed Lenz, the business manager, is an oil dealer from Pewaukee, who is a business trip to Kentucky. Darwin Newby, vice president, is a Sears, Roebuck and co. salesman and a regular member of the Presbyterian church choir, while the president, Mrs. Fred Portz is a Waukesha housewife and director of the Baptist youth choir.

Many family combinations are on the membership list too. There are Mr. and Mrs. Lenz and son Jim; the Otto Muellers, of the Mueller Bros. Pattern Works; Ted Pratt, of Carroll college, and Mrs.

Pratt; and Mr. and Mrs. Ewald Tilley, of the Waukesha high school music department. The father and son team, James L. and James C.

White; mother and daughter pair, Louise and Ann Hatch, and Manon and Gretchen Grosskopf; and the mother and son team, Betsy and Fred Portz, are others.

About one quarter of the membership of the club is made up of Carroll college students, who also receive Professor Guthrie's training three afternoons a week. Keep Young Through Meetings The Wednesday evening meetings of the Waukesha Choral society open with a short prayer, offered by the director or a member of the society.

A short lesson in breathing often follows. This includes not only vocal gymnastics, but physical exercise too, to free he singer's body for proper breathing and vocal control. This puts into practice the group's motto, "Sing and keep young with the Waukesha Choral society!"

In the latter, Miss Alice Hepburn, of the Carroll college music faculty, will sing the solo with an accompaniment of men's voices only.
