The club consists of more than one hundred girls divided into two classes, advanced and beginning. Each year three different lines of music are pursued - individual voice training. music appreciation, and ensemble singing. A new feature in the appreciation course is the giving of credit for listening to approved concerts of classical music. which come over the radio each week. Both the Columbia and the National Broadcasting systems generously contributed their lists of weekly concerts which were approved by Miss Utterback and given to the students. Through the courtesy and consideration of the Allegro Club the civic organ- izations of the city of Tucson have a wealth of talent from which to select their programs. April third of this year brought about the annual Southern Arizona Music Fes- tival. Of the seven schools that were represented Tucson High School was brought to the attention of the musical public by two outstanding vocalists. John Booher and Henry Hubbard and by the A Cappella Choir, Four girls who have shown great promise were chosen as the girls' quartette. These were Janet Gill, first soprano: Jeanne Tetreau. second soprano: Alice Flac- cus, first altog and Wanda Henderson, second alto. Officers chosen by the club this year are as follows: president. Beverly Fair- grieveg vice-president, Priscilla Sanders: secretary-treasurer ffirst hourl. Mary Margaret Waughg secretary-treasurer fsecond hourl, Edith Carrigan.

In taking for its aim and ideal the upholding of the faith and purposes of the Young Men's Christian Association, of which it is a junior division, the Hi-Y mem- bers expressed a desire to dedicate their efforts towards performing real services for the school. The meetings were concerned with the discussion of problems com- mon to most of the boys. with diverting entertainment such as singing and dramatic programs. and instructive lectures on stamp collecting and other hobbies. The year's social activities were confined to a joint meeting with Tuc-Hi in the fall and a combination hay ride and picnic. Two separate initiations took place, one in the fall and another in the spring. when the new members were welcomed with appropriate ceremony. F. A. Kohn succeeded Weaver Meadows as adviser. and the following officers were elected for the revised organization: Alfonso gwood. president, Ray Bingham, vice-president, Howard Inscho. secretary: and Warren Grosetta, treasurer.

Vioti l Ittlv Both the Arion and the Allegro clubs follow the same program of study. At the end of each six weeks period contests are held in each club to determine the best soprano. alto. tenor and baritone. Competition between advanced and begin- ning students is especially keen and arouses the interests of the individual student. Last year suggestions were given for furthering the interests of class study. Among those accepted was the idea of having all seniors sing a solo that he or she had prepared during the course of the school year. These solos were taken from operas and other classical selections. The boys' quartette. consisting of John Booheri first tenor: Rudolpho Aros. sec- ond tenorg Henry Hubbard. first baritoneg and Frank Freeman. second baritone. displayed unusually fine work this year when they appeared for many different civic organizations and private clubs. The two quartettes. girls' and boys'. when joined together form a double mixed quartette. which also has proved very popular. The Sigma Alpha Iota. musical sorority. of which Miss Utterback is a mem- ber. was very fortunate in having severil programs contributed by the A Cap- pella Choir. lt has now become a regular tradit on tor the music department of the Tuc' son Senior High School to open music week. Also. to close the season with their annual spring concert. given at the Temple of Music and Art. The officers of the Arion Club are as follows: John Booher. president: Henry Hubbard. vice-president: Allen Lohse. sccretary-treasurer.
