Weeks. Jr One of the most sought-after musical organizations' in Central Utah is the Mendelssohn Chorus, Chor-us, directed by Elvis B. Terry, head of the music department at the Lincoln high school. Composed Com-posed of 48 men, many of whom are residents of the Orem-Gen-eva area, the chorus is always in demand to perform at benefits, bene-fits, religious services and patriotic pat-riotic programs. Composed of business, pro-fesional pro-fesional and laboring men, the chorus includes a Geneva Steel plant executive and a farmer, the Orem Chamber of Commerce Commer-ce secretary, a fruit grower and a contractor men .. from ...all walks of life brought together togeth-er by the cosimen denominator of music Truly, the membership of this colorful local group is as varied as its large repertoire of choral favorites. Through its outstanding . ser vice and talent the Mendelssohn Chorus is constantly bringing honor to itself and the commun ity. The climax in recognition came recently when the chorus was invited to represent Utah in the National Federation of Music Clubs' biennial music festival next April in Dallas, Texas. The invitation came through Mrs Royden James Keith of Chicago, president of the organization, after she heard the chorus perform in the Jos eph Smith building last Jan uary. Concert Series Planned A state-wide series of concerts con-certs is now being planned by the organization in connection with a fund-raising campaign to finance expenses of the chor us on its Texas trip.

In preparation for the sched .iljd concerts each member of the chorus has just spent seventy seven-ty dollars for a new dinner jacket and matching accessories so that the group can be uniformly uni-formly dressed Although chorus members will' probably never utilize their formal dress except for appearances with the chorus, no one expects, or will receive any reimbursement for his expenditure. ex-penditure. - - Looking into the history of its origin, we find that the chorus in all probability evolved evolv-ed from a young men's male chorus organized in 1912 by the YMMIA of Ulan stake in Provo with Professor C R. Johnson of the BYU as director, andwith Earl J Glade, present mayor of Salt Lake City, as manager This chorus gave many performances perform-ances in this locality and in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. Chorus Name Changed Reorganization of the c.iorus came in 1916 with the name Garden City Glee Club being chosen. In later years the. chor us teecame known as the Univ ersity Club Male Chorus, undei the direction of J W. McAllister In 1928 the organization took the present, well established name, the Mendelssohn Chorus under the direction of William F. Hanson. Later, Dr. Franklii Madsen directed the chorus and in 1936 John R. Halliday was made director of the chor us. The chorus sang under hi direction until May, 1938. In oint-nnn fAm "NTiir "VrtY!"

Veterans of countless performances per-formances over the years, chorus members have assisted in raising rais-ing thousands of dollars to fight Infantile Paralysis, build chapels, chap-els, buy organs, and to finance other worthwhile projects. The only reward members of the chorus have ever received is the satisfacton in developing themselves, finding comradship with one another, hrngiwg joy to others, finding a way to serve and a positive way of adding to the fullnes of life. The Mendelssohn Chdrus, through its untiring efforts in bringing a greater appreciation of music to thousands of people is contributing greatly toward making Central Utah not only a music center, but a cultural center as well. baton ever since.

An exceptionally good tomato crop is predicted this year, according ac-cording to Mr. Jacobs. "That is, if an early frost doesn't shorten the season." Last year 70,000 cases of tomatoes were procesed at the plant, and this year only 60,000 cases are expected to be processed. pro-cessed. The Orem plant does not can the whole tomato, but reduces it to a paste. Tomato paste is actually condensed tomato juict, according to Mr. Jacobs. Tomato Tom-ato juice is six percent solids, whereas tomato paste is 26 percent per-cent solids. To supply the plant with an ample tomato crop, 1200 acres of tomatoes are annually contracted con-tracted to Orem and Utah farmers. far-mers. This year, however, only 900 acres were contracted. This year firsts will get $26.50 per ton, and seconds will get $16 per ton. Production of cherries at the plant this year was about the same as last year with 16,000 cases being put out.

Most of the laughter came when the entire group went through the Fun House. One boy tried to go through the barrell and got to tumbling so fast that it was dif ficult to tell which was moving mov-ing faster, the barrel or the boy. After a hearty lunch, they were all ready for a swim in Great Salt Lake, which was thrilling indeed. The teenagers expressed their appreciation for a lovely day and for the adult companionship and guidance throughout the day to the following: Mr. and Mrs- Alvin Rowley. Mr and Mrs Reed Rowley, Mr. and Mrs. Jumts 1) arrington, and to ithe chief leader of the day, Bishop Finch and his wife; and to the Saltair officials for the free entertainment en-tertainment given the group. It was reassuring to those in charge char-ge to hear remarks, such as "Been loads of fun'', "full of exciting thrills", etc. made by some of the boys and girls. After hours of fun, they arrived arr-ived home, very tired, but happy hap-py and planning for the next good time that is sure to follow. I |
