Realizing that enjoyment and relaxation are necessary for the fullest appreciation of school life. the Boys Glee Club attempts to fulfill these requirements. Many boys who join know little about music, but after several terms they become top singers in this fine group. The boys agree that they acquire a finer sense oi music appreciation through their study of music. During the term the Boys Glee Club participates in many public appearances such as the annual Music Concert, the Inter-Group Confer- ence. the annual operetta. and programs before the Soldan-Blewett Mothers' Club. Through these performances the Boys Glee Club is recognized as one of the outstanding boy choruses in St. Louis. OFFICERS President ....... .,......,....,.....

enior 6Aamina e The Senior Chaminade, having cr membership of seventy-nine girls. is one oi the six vocal groups at Soldan-Blewett. The music family includes three Senior groups-Choir, Senior Chaminade. and Boys' Glee Club: two Iunior groups-Iunior Chaminade, and Vocal En- semble: and a Freshman group, Iunior Chorus. Senior Chaminade is often referred to as a stepping stone to Choir. The girls' activities this term consisted of radio programs, and an appearance before the Soldan-Blewett Mothers' Club. As there has been so much talent in the group this term, they have held several talent shows. Not only does everyone enjoy them, but they have helped some of the bashiul girls to gain confidence in appearing before an audience. Among the wide variety of music, the girls sing both classical and popular music, under the guidance of Miss Adele Thym. unior CLamina e Junior Chaminade, one of Soldan-B1ewett's active music groups, consists of seventy-eight girls, under the leadership of Miss Adele Thym. Meeting daily. the girls work hard to improve themselves in such things as breathing and diction. Together with the Boys Glee Club. they presented a Christmas program to the Mothers' Club, singing three numbers: Gesu Bambino, Angels We Have Heard On High, and Silent Night. Junior Chaminade is very proud of its name. as Madame Chaminade was the first woman to gain recognition as a composer. She has been highly honored for such pieces as her Scarf Dance. and other beautiful numbers for piano and orchestra. Thus Iunior Chaminade has every right to boast of its name and to try to make itself one of the best music groups at Soldan-Blewett. OUR LAST LOOK HAPPY MUSICIANS Sixtyfseven
