1- The Girls, Glee Club S 1 5 s , - -ia g H GIRLS' GLEE CLUB Doesn't this look like an animated and f'pepful group of girls? And it is, for they make up the B. U. H. S. Girls, Glee Club. . The Glee Club now includes practically all of the girls of the school, and is successfully directed by Miss Aiken. It has taken part 'in all of the High School entertainments during the year, andfhas done its part in a most satisfactory Way. Some of the songsqthat the club has sung are '4Lovely N ight, HBlossom Timef' ifBella Napoli and Pond Lilies. - U Month by month the High School and its patrons have become more fully aware of the benefits to be derived from this kind of work, and we hope that the time will never come when there will 'be a return of the Dark Agesi' when there was no Cflee Club. , OOO OOO OOO Mr. Thomas-Give an example of a substantive infinitive such as, '4To be a principal is painfulf' Frederica-To be a pupil is Worse..

Then I saw ga large auditorium-completely packed with people,- gorgeously -dressed. It must be an 'opera or a concert, I thought. Thegorchestraebegan playing and the talking in the audience ceased. Thenlthe house lights went out. The curtain rose disclosing another of black' velvet. The velvet folds parted and .a young woman of perhaps, twenty-eight years of age stepped -forward. V She was dressed in white, and carried a violin under her arm. As she came to thefront of- the stage she was greeted with a burst of applause which-she smilingly acknowledged with a slight bow. When the applause, subsided she 'lifted the violin to her chin. I watched her fingers- fly over the strings with amazed admiration. Double .stops in the seventh position were nothing to her and thatxwas only the beginning. Iteseemed as .though I heard the wonderful music which such technique mustproduce. But then she stopped and bowed to the audience, looking straight at the people and then at me. Why! It was I, myself! It was my counterpart that stood before that audience! 'But the picture was fading-it was gone! I rose and after paying madam I took my leave, rather dazed, but happy and well n satisfied. , ' 1 I f ,- OX X0 3 I Frank Greer fwho had just forded over a small dog! -Madam! Madam!
