CHORUS COMES TO WESTERN AS COMMUNITY CONCERT PROGRAM The de Paur Infantry Chorus, which will be heard here, at the Beaverhead County High School auditorium on November 18, may emphatically be called the most suc cessful new attraction in the con cert -business. This concert comes to Western as the first program of the Community Concert Series. Since its civilian debut three seasons ago, after four years’ service in the uni form of the United States Army, the de Paur Chorus has given more per formances both seasons than any other attraction on the lists of Co lumbia Artists’ Management which books the performances. Last season’s tour broke all ex isting records in the concert busi ness and their forthcoming tour is expected to exceed this signal ac- complishment. The chorus will give more than 175 concerts before the tour concludes the latter part of April. The tuneful ex-G5’s will have sung in 40 states, and next spring they make their first tour of South America. The chorus, the first important musical aggregation to spring from World War II, was organized in 1942 by men of the 372nd Infantry Regi ment stationed at Fort Dix, N. J. Appearances in War Drives led the Army to set up the chorus as a morale unit to entertain other troops. Following the war, the singing in fantry men decided to stay together under the direction of their conduc tor, Captain Leonard de Paur.

Teaching Positions In State Snap Up Two-Year Graduates Montana needs teachers so badly that young men and women with two years of teacher training are snapped up for positions in schools of the state. Pressure is put upon the two-year graduate to accept a teaching position, and even students with less than two years of instruc tion have left college to fill in the teacherless classrooms. The abrupt dropping off of stu dent enrollment in the junior and senior classes gives evidence of this pull of teacher recruitm ent in Mon tana. Out of a registration of 249 students autum n quarter, there are 111 freshmen, 77 sophomores, 32 juniors and 22 seniors. Veterans on the campus total 51. Twelve of them are freshmen, 15 sophomores, 14 juniors and 11 seniors. Degree graduates of the past sev eral years, now Montana teachers, were freshmen at Western. With these past records as an index to the future, the return of 1950 diploma graduates to Western for a degree is expected in due time.
