THE GLEE CLUB President ......Ruth Dearstyne Vice President....Vernon Olson Secretary Treasurer } ..Lorraine Drechsler This organization has done a considerable amount of work this year. It has sung a few times before the assembly; once for Thanksgiving, singing Geoffry’s “Hymn of Praise”; and for Christmas. In February 1938, the Glee Club journeyed to Northrop Auditorium to sing for the Music Clinic. It was one of the few Glee Clubs in the state which had this honor. On April seventh and eighth, an operetta entitled, “The Count and the Coed,” was presented. It had two casts, one playing one night and the other the second night, and in each case a very generous reception was accorded. On April twenty-second, a trip to North St. Paul was made in the interest of the state Music Contest. Fifth Row—Henningsen, II. Dale, Scoville, R. Carlstrom, R. Johnson, Standal, Dirks. fourth Row—V.

THE BLUE TRIANGLE President......Virginia Peterson Vice Pres......Caroline Melius Treasurer......Barbara Johnson Secretary.........Mitzi Rogers Inter-Club Counselor ..... ... .................Ruth Asplund Advisor............Miss Bralcy The Blue Triangle was formed this year under the able supervision of Miss Bralcy. It has seventy-four chapter members and is considered as a major organization. The purpose of the club is “To find and give the best,” and the slogan is “To face life squarely.” With these two ideals in mind, the girls have gained the right spirit and we are sure that the school will benefit by their activities in the future. 1938 ECHOWAN

THE BAND President ........................................Alan Justad Secretary ........................................James Smith Treasurer........................................Melvin Conley • The band made great progress this year under the leadership of Mr. Finer Martinson. An election of officers was held in the Fall. They are as follows: President, Alan Justad; secretary, James Smith; treasurer, Melvin Conley. The St. Louis Park band capes were used as uniforms when the band performed. Practices were held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the music room of the Junior High School. The band played at the home football games and the game at Mound. It also played at basketball games in the beginning of the year, but there wasn't room for the band so it had to be discontinued. Many assembly programs and pep meetings were enlivened by the music of the band. The band had concessions at several games and sponsored a dance to make money for music emblems. These emblems are to be awarded to regular band members at the end of the year. Mr. Martinson organized a junior band that will join the senior band next year. This band is composed of junior high pupils. He also gave private lessons to any student who wished them. The band played and marched with the Hopkins band during the dedication of the new athletic field. 1938 ECHOWAN
