Women ' s Glee Clob Fall Officers Spring Olive Buntain President Adeline Dudley Elsie Cunha Vice-President HORTENSE MOTTRAM Mabel Gons ALVES Secretary-Treasurer MILDRED BROOKS Adeline Dudley Business Manager EDITH WiSHART Advisor JESSIE M. KLINE ' Insofar as the public is concerned, the Women ' s Glee Club ranks among the most important and very popular groups at the College. Because of the finished work of the Club as a whole and of its soloists, engagements were never lacking. The two groups formed were: the regular glee club, meeting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; and the choral on Tuesday and Thursday. In this way a well-balanced group of twenty singers was chosen to represent M. J. C. The girls appeared at numerous affairs, including an Exchange Club luncheon, a University Women ' s Club tea given for the Girl Scouts, and an assembly of the Turlock Union High School. Both the Glee Club and the Choral partici- pated in a Sunday evening musical program at the Methodist Church in March, and in a well-received Christmas entertainment in the College Auditorium just before the holidays. It was through the co-operation of these singers that M. J. C. produced Robin Hood. The Club ' s repertoire was extensive, including Homing, Irish Hills, Her Rose, Invitations to the Bells, and Chimes of Normandy. 1461

The Radio Club Officers President Arne ORNBERG Vice-President FRANK SiLVERIA Secretary -Treasurer WALTER REID Faculty Advisor .. WILLIAM F. Martin Static, loud-speakers, aerials, wave transmission — whatever you want to know about, the Radio Club members can tell you. They have learned — by experience. Formed in the spring by students interested in radio and its application, the Radio Club is the newest club on the campus, but it has lost no time in getting under way. Incorporating the new scientific principles for the best pos- sible reception, the members of the club initiated themselves by installing on the North Building an aerial which was used in receiving the Hoover inaugural address on March 4. Later the club made a trip to Oakland to visit the KGO power station and broadcasting studio. This trip was both interesting and valuable to the stu- dents. Proposed club trips are always eagerly anticipated. The most important work of the club during its spring term was on a short wave radio transmitter. This transmitter, one of the best on the coast, made it possible for many students to receive their amateur operator ' s licenses. The satisfactory beginning and progress of the club gives promise of great advances by its members in the field of radio work. [45] !

Men ' s Glee Club l Fall Officers ' Spring David Gray President David Gray TheRON Chastain Vice-President CHARLES NeumaN Carleton Lehman Secretary - Treasurer EiNAR Ahnstedt Rod DonKIN Business Manager ROD DoNKIN Supervisor Edna Barr Love The Bluebird Songsters have been exceptionally active this year. Because local and neighboring communities were so favorably impressed by the fine appearance and pleasing performances of the glee, a full schedule was required. Among the club ' s traditions is the annual trip to Sonora. This year ' s appearance there was very well received, resulting in a request for the glee to return and assist in a paid musical production. Another regular event is the visit to San Francisco, to entertain the audiences of K P O, which proved enjoyable for everyone. In addition, an offer to sing before the State Music Teachers ' Association was extended to the glee club. The work of the soloists and the quartette deserves special credit. It was largely through the careful, finished work of these that Robin Hood was so successful. Local appearances were too many to enumerate. The churches, luncheon clubs, schools, and program committees in town and throughout the county were all appreciative of the men ' s glee. Endeavoring to leave behind a permanent remmdcr of their presence, the gleemen made definite plans for a musical congress which will take place here in the spring of next year. The Bluebird Songsters have been truly active! [47]
