With the theme "Unfolding the Arcanum of Success," the contest has the primary objective to inspire students to appreciate poetry in its entirety and use English in circumstances where it is required.
"The Choral Recital is a group contest supported by our English professors and Mrs. Evelyn V. Pangilinan, Dean of Arts and Sciences which we hope to host every year. First year students enrolled in eleven (11) classes of English I courses are enjoined to participate," declared Rona E. Balquin, president of the English Club.
Last Thursday, August 17, a committee, chaired by Isagani Legaspi, the club's vice-president prepared the mechanics of the contest, which among others specified the criteria for judging as follows:
I. Participation ( number of participants divided by
the number of students officially enrolled in the class)------------- 20%
II. Interpretation (Presentation, Coordination, Timing)---------------- 30%
III. Stage Presence (Posture, Gesture, Volume, Facial Expression)--- 30%
IV. Audience Impact--------------------------------------------------------- 20%
The Ranking System shall be used in tabulating the results. The participating group that will get the lowest summary rank score shall be declared as the first choral recitation champion ever. The second lowest scorer will be declared the second place winner; and so on. Prizes, of course, will be awarded the winners and certificates will be given to all participants.
The Board of Judges will be composed of Dr. Leopoldo M. Delacruz, Jr., Dr. Aurora P. Gervacio, Dean Pangilinan, and Dean Jaime C. Encabo. Mr. Arnel Legaspi will chair the Board of Tabulators with Mr. Noel Achas as co-chair.

Before the semester ends, the officers hope to finalize the draft of the Constitution and By-Laws and submit the necessary documents required by the Office of the Student Affairs for the club's recognition as a legitimate student organization.
