Hi Marc Herbert Wilson took over in 1958 as Choir director. He was not nearly as gifted as Mr Barrett but he tried. The kids so loved Mr Barrett and felt his loss -( we didnt get counsiling back then ) that I think we resented Mr Wilson. I played the part of Aunt Eller in Oklahoma in 1958. Any other choir members out there. Our theme song was Wake Awake and until each person could sing it accapella without a mistake , we were not allowed to sing it in concert-- think any one does that today--strive for perfecion--it was a challenge and it took me a year and a half to learn it-- but I did.
