1 'Ill I I Lai' gll Glee Club The Bledsoe County High School Glee Club consists of 35 girls from high school and eighth grade. The aims of our glee club are to learn to sing a variety of songs such as classic, semi-classic, and folk. Also we try to learn to sing them in the proper style and inter- pretation. Through singing songs one can become better acquainted with people of other nationalities and countries. The stu- dents also have a feeling of enjoying their work as well as learning. The Glee Club sang, Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes, Ciribiribee, and 'La Cucaracha, at the music festival sponsored by the Pikeville Study Club, No- vember 2l, 1953. They learned quite a few Christmas Carols to sing during the holi- days. Mr. Theodore Takaroff, the director, is trying to get some special arranged selec- tions from Gilbert and Sullivan to prepare for our next appearance which will be April 1, 1954. The accompanist for this perform- ance will be Nancy Stephens. The Glee Club is open to anyonein high school or the eighth grade. 'H
