Glee Clubs The girls’ glee club is the oldest musical organization in our high school, as we know that it was in existence as early as 1916. Since then it has grown until in 1 ( 2() it was necessary to have two girls’ clubs so that all those who wished could belong. I lie second glee club is open to a greater number than the first, and from its constituency are selected the singers for the first glee club. The first glee club or Clef Club meets twice a week for re- hearsal and they work diligently to make the organization one of credit to the school. The Clef Club has appeared in concert at several occasions during the year; they sang at the Christmas program, for the annual spring concert, the mmic contest a;ul the May music festival besides five assembly programs. Since 1( 24 the Hudson High School has had a Boys’ Glee Club. The club has made a good record, having won first place at the contest several times. 4 he boys have one full rehearsal and one sectional rehearsal a week. hit of this organization has grown the boys quartette com- . posal ( f Gerald W allace, Palmer kvemon. Donald Oison, and Kd- ward Hartnett. This group has contributed their talent to assembly programs, lodge programs, and organizations not connected with school.

Grade School Bands The children of the Hudson schools are at the present time given a wonderful chance to develop their musical talents beginning with their first days in school. As kindcrgarden students, under the guidance of Miss Champion, and in the first grace, under •Miss Hanson's direction, the children are given an opportunity to use percussion instruments to develop their feeling for rhythm, to teach group cooperation, to provide physical exercise, and to prepare the children for advanced forms of mu- sic. Besides this, music study and singing are taught by Miss Hanson to ail classes; and to all who are interested, Mr. Dahl gives private in- structions on musical instruments. Those pupils who are most satisfactorily able to pass a test in beating time am. carrying a tune are made members of the Junior Band.
