In 1964, the Society adopted the Institute of
Logopedics in Wichita, Kansas, as an International
Service Project.

In 1965, the 25 year history "Melodies for Millions"
by Will Cook and Charles Wilcox, was published. U. S.
Internal Revenue Service classified the Society and its
U. S. Districts and Chapters as "educational" and
declared them exempt from Federal income tax.

In 19 70, the Society program for high school youth,
"Young Men In Harmony" was started after approval by the
Music Educator National Conference. The first audition's
for admission's sessions was held as a Society—sponsored
program following the adoption at the Seattle mid—winter
meeting. This program originated by the Peninsula
California Chapter and was recommended to the Society by
the Far Western District.
