DOROTHY RANKIN The Mixed Chrous, composed of over one hundred voices and under the competent direction of Mrs. Dorothy Rankin, can look back on the school year l938-39 and remember it as one of the fullest and most enjoyable from the standpoint of qood music. The annual Christmas Carolinq in the corri- dors and Christmas Cantata, "When the Christ Child Came" by Clokey were events of unusual interest to the students. The noteworthy achievement of the year was, however, the highly suc- cessful operetta, "Hollywood Extra" by Charles Wakefield Cadman with Mr. Ivan Reese as stage director and Mrs. Rankin director of music. The story behind this production was the struqqles ot a small town qirl who wins a movie contest and tries to win recognition in Hollywood.

DOROTHY RANKIN The 'Boys' Glee Club has had a year of many and varied activities. Their first participation was joining with the Girls' Glee Club in presenting the Can- tata and thet Christmas Caroling. The Cantata given this year was "Christ lsl Born." On February 24th-25th, the Boys of the Glee Club helped to present an operetta, "Hollywood Extra." This production proved to be one of the most successful affairs to be presented in the history of the school. Some of the, selections rendered this year are "The Blind Ploughmann by Clarke: "The King of France" by Wakeman and Wilson: "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp" by Herbert and Baldwin, "Bedouin Love Song" by Pensuiti, "How Can I Leave Thee" by Kuckenp "Stars of the Summer Night" by Woodbury, and "Eight Bells" by Winslow. Last year, our number of boys decreased due to the graduation, and we lost many good voices. This year there has been a good response from some of the freshman boys and the upper classmen, as Well, which has helped to fill these vacancies. The Boys' Glee Club offered their last splendid renditions in a concert on May 4th, the Baccalaureate Service, and the Commencement Exercises. ANDREW C.
