Since a large per cent. of our members had been with us the two pre- ceding years we were in a position last fall to advance from where we had stopped last june. As a result I feel that I can say, without exaggeration, that we have now achieved the highest accomplishments yet attained in the history of the High School Orchestra. Be that as it may, however, we have labored to- gether for three years, I know, with a gradual and welcome influx of new mem- bers, and have found great pleasure in our work. This year it has been our privilege to play for Fi-Fi , for the musical and physical exhibition, for the High School and Senior plays, besides entertaining the assembly on several occasions and playing at various minor events. Our enrollment number, which is thirteen, might suggest bad luck, but not so for us. It is needless to say that we are proud of our orchestra and wish that organization all possible success in the future. We give herewith the names of the members in the orchestra of l9l9-20.

History of the Glee Club During the past season the Glee Club under the patient direction of Mrs. McMahon has mastered some of the most difficult selections of chorus music. The Glee Club is but a branch of the chorus work in the high school, being com- posed of those students who are farthest advanced in that line of music. The importance of this work must not be underestimated. Not only to the individual members is it a benefit, but to the school that can supply upon short notice a group of trained singers, which does honor to the institution it represents. The Glee Club gave two numbers at the State Baptist Convention held in jerseyville early in the fall. lt took a major part in a concert of High School musical talent given in the Auditorium during the month of February. Selec- tions are being prepared for the Commencement exercises, which will bring to a close a pleasantand successful season for the j. T H. S. Glee Club.
