The boys' glee club is a comparatively new musical organization of the school, hav- ing just completed its second year. Eighteen voices compose the club. Mrs. Rose Meredith directs the glee club and the practice is held in conjunction with the girls' glee club on the average of once each week. The boys' glee club has appeared several times in combination with the girls' glee club. They appeared before the student body during a Wednesday morning program and at the Christmas party. Its final appearance was at the May Day Sing. The interest which has been shown by the boys is remarkable and the cooperation of both glee clubs has made possible the presentation of many very interesting pro- grams. In the various organizations of the school, the glee club is represented by smaller groups, which have appeared outside the school in various programs. Semi-classical numbers are the type of compositions generally used by the organi- zation. The membership in the glee club is limited to the three upperclasses and the stand- ing of this year's members are as follows: ten seniorsg Charles Deppe, Donald Brewer, Lowell Deer, Joseph Handley, Raymond Jones, John A. McClain, Ralph Earlywine, Bruce Jolly, Charles Gibson and Burke Andersong three juniors, Joseph Wheeler, Nor- man Lloyd and William LaGrangeg and four sophomores, David Barrow, George Rogers, Robert Baker and Russell Owens. Phillip Johnson is pianist for the group. l93D. I

This musical organization, probably one of the oldest organizations of the schoolg has had great success with all programs it has undertaken this year. Thirty girls compose the glee club, twelve of whom sing soprano, seven, second soprano and eleven who sing alto. Of the events in which they participated, the following are the most outstanding: their appearance before the student body when they gave a complete musical program, the Christmas party which occasioned the singing of carols made very impressive by the combined voices of the boys' and girls' glee clubs and their participation in the May Day Sing which is an annual event. Mrs. Rose Meredith has had complete control of the glee club for a number of years. Although few Mary Gardens have resulted, many prominent local singers have profited from her instruction. 5l930 U

ElVElllElIIHlIEllliifElllE'lIrElIElIIEJIEli THE KITE ElrellIeII!EllIElliEiiIElllElllEJlIe1IlElllE!5 Literary THE WIND In the spring, when the fresh spring breeze Sighs with a promise through budding trees And gently caresses the sweet spring flowers, We feel as if all the world is ours. In summer, how welcome the refreshing wind After the sultry heat! It is a Godsend When it blows the rain clouds overheadg And soft, cool, rain falls on the flower bed. I In the fall, the wind grows cool againg Trees seek to retain their leaves in vain For the leaves must fall in large, bright heaps Until 'neath the snow they rest in sleep. Q In winter, winds are shrill and coldg The trees look bare, pinched, and old. But we know that spring will come once more, And then again our spirits soar. -Ca.th.e'rine Catlett, '31 JUNIORS DREAMERS i ' It's fun to look out the window and dream We are JUUIOFS HOW, Of future days, and it would seem But in a short while That such pleasure is had for little cost Wevu be seniors and finish the race, Until one thinks of the time that's lost. And we 'h0Pe with 8 heart For dreams of the future cannot come true When in life we start Unless each minute we've work to do We'11 beg-in with a Strong, steady pace. Which will aid the fulfillment of that desire And lift us up above the mire. 'Fyedemck Whiilte' ,31 -Catherine Catlett, '31 SENIORS They tell us we're cocky -we seem so assumed We've an air of quite knowing it all. Others warn us with confident mein, You may ride high, but soon you will fall. And perhaps down inside us we're wondering too If we've learned all there is to be known, If the school can't run on just the same when we've gone And it's not for seniors alone. Some of us wonder what work we will do, What place in the world we will find. We see that it isn't the end, but the start, There are lessons as yet unassigned. Can we look this old world in the face and admit That we're ready to fight in its strife And try to remember tho' hard it appears Tho' seniors in High, we're but freshmen in life? --Illarie Lawshe, '30 lI930
