Another musical organization at Collins High Schoolis the Girls Glee Club. Those thirty girls, under the direction of Mrs. Charlotte Cole spend the seventh period each day learning the funda- mentals of harmony and also practicing songs, both old and new. The accompanist for the club is Audrey Eigenbrod. Only one requirement for membership exists, and that is to have a love for music.
