One recent Saturday 20 Portland
boys of the Whitney chorus left for
a week-end trip to Sheridan, Or., by
special train over the Southern Pa
cific lines. They were met at Sheri
dan by a committee of boys from the
reheaisal in that city. Following the
reception at the depot they were es
corted to the high school, where they
were given lunch. Sunday morning
all churches united in the . opera
house for special service. Forty boys
from McMinnville drove to Sheridan
and united with the Portland and
Sheridan boys, making a chorus of
110. Following the concert lunch
was served at the Methodist church.
All boys were then transported to
McMinville. The Sheridan people ar
ranged for automobiles to take both
the Portland and their own boys to
McMinville from Sheridan, where they
gave a concert in the First Christian
church, which was crowded. .
The first big trip will be Friday,
Portland on the boat Madeline. That
May 12, when 200 boys plan to leave
evening they will give a concert in
Kelso and Saturday evening in As
toria, besides appearing in several
other towns en route. Both Kelso
and. Astoria will entertain 125 boys
in their homes, while 75 boys will
sleep on the boat. Those sleeping in
the boat the first night will alternate
with those in the homes the next
night. A corps of adult workers will
have supervision of the boys on the
trip. William P. Merry, chairman
committee outside work of the Rose
Festival, will accompany the chorus.
They will return to Portland late
next Sunday evening. Thse boys
will come from Portland, Newberg,
Salem, Oregon City, Sheridan, Mc
Minnville, Gladstone, Oak Grove, Jen
nings Lodge, Milwaukie and Wltchita.
Each Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock at the Sunday school temple of
the First Methodis church, Twelfth
and Taylor streets, all boys meet for
special rehearsal, and the rehearsal
is the only one directed by Mr. Whit
ney personally.
Following the rehearsal arrange
ments have been made whereby the
boys will go to a building near for
athletic work and swimming.
The chorus will close to new mem
bers .after May 20. Many are joining.
The rehearsals are at the Whitney
chorus, office, Oregon building, where
new chorus members are enrolled, so
that they can be with the boys at the
week-end trips and be able to sing at
the big concert.
Arrangements are now in progress
by which it is hoped to bring Bobby
Murray of New York, a native of Ta
coma., as the principal soloist of the
concert in June. Master Murray sings
higher than any other person in the
world ever has sung, to A in altissimo.
