The Senior Girls' Glee Club was organized in 1927 under the leadership of Miss Dickenson. It was through Miss Dickenson that a uniform was adopted. They chose it white dress with flowers of maize and blue. In 1951 Mr. Alderfer took it over. The uniform was changed to a black dress with white lapels. During his leadership a pin was adopted. Only girls who had been in the Senior Girls Glee Club two semesters and who had a B average could get these pins. Mr. Frank Goodwin became the sponsor in 1935. The uniform was discarded as a variety of colors was thought to add charm to the group. In the Annual Spring Concert they presented three numbers: "The Snow," by Edward Elgar, "I Would That My Love," by Felix Mendelssohn, and "Pippa's Song," by John West. i711

Each member must have a good voice, a certain degree of musicianship, as well as an interest in music. It acquaints them with a wide range of choral literature and develops the capacity for team work in the individual. Three numbers, The Sea Hath Its Pearls," by Ciro Pinsuti, "Echo Song," by Orlando di Lasso, and "john Peel," by Mark Andrews, were presented at an Inter High Concert at South High School. The choir assisted in the presentation of the Christmas Assembly, Gloria, and the Annual Spring Concert. At the "Crestonite," the Follies comprised of a number of boys from the choir were presented as dancers dressed in ballet costumes. l70l

When school started last fall the Creston Band started drilling in marching in preparation for the football games. By the time of the first game, they were well prepared. The band has played for nearly all the assemblies. It marched in the Landon Parade and played when Roosevelt was here. On Memorial Day it presented a con- cert at the Soldiers' Home. Four of the members of the band, Marion Chown, George Lawyer, Charles Berry, and Andrew Orphan, were in the All State Band and one of them, Marion Chown, entered the solo contest. The Band gave a cake walk as their contribution to the "Crestonite." I 721
