To the uninitiated one, these sounds issuing from a school room, might forbode dire punishment, but the wary would soon explain that it is merely the members of the Girls ' Glee Club practicing their vocal calisthenics. This organization of girls from the Senior High School is not only a club but it is also a medium of training for the Mixed Chorus and the Madrigal Club. The mem- bers learn the fundamentals of proper singing. The Glee Club made its first appearance at the Parent Teachers ' Association where it sang My Johnny Was a Shoemaker. It has sung several times in the assemblies. In the Annual Music Concert the organization sang In the Country, a Belgian folk song. Throughout the year it has become familiar with the folk tunes of many nations. From this club, thirty-six girls are chosen for their outstanding work to form the Madrigal Club. $1 Page Sixty-nine

NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL CHAMPIONS IN B CLASS CONCERT ORCHESTRA Few schools of our size can boast such a well-trained organization as the Roosevelt Orchestra. Its finished performances are always sure to please the audience. It has fulfilled quite a mission in the school life of Roosevelt. It fosters a better understanding and appreciation of concert music and it provides musical accompani- ments for the Operetta and the Junior and Senior plays, tasks which involve many hours of preparation. The Orchestra has gradually increased from a small organization until now it has a total of forty-four pieces. This year, it won the right to represent East Chicago at LaFayette in the State Contest. There, against much competition, it won first place. The splendid community spirit of the citizens of East Chicago enabled the Orchestra to enter the National Contest in Cleveland where it won first place in the B class. The Orchestra has studied compositions of the following orchestra composers: Mozart, Schubert, Bizet, Rubenstein, Von Suppe, Friml, Cajani, Thomas and Haydn. Page Seventy-one
