The boys lost the race, so they had to give the girls a party. The party was greatly enjoyed by the girls, and everyone reported a good time. The glee club has practiced the entire year. It first appeared at the Agar Chrnstmas Program held December 21. April 19, the glee club, appearing at the Agar Music Program, sang: WSing Me a Chanty With a Yo Heave Ew,HHPassing By,WWChorus of the Pirates,nandHThere's a Gold Mine in the Sky.N April 26, the entire glee club went to the Pierre Music Festival and there sang NSing Me a Chanty With a Yo Heave Hon and UStout Hearted Men.U The next appearance was at the senior class play where the boys sang nKentucky Eaben and HChorus of the Pirates.W The glee club's last appearance of the year was at the Commencement Exercises where WStout Hearted Menu was sung. The Boys Glee Club loses only one senior member, so next year, it comes back with a veteran force of two first tenors, four second tenors, four first bass, and four second bass, for what is hoped to be one of the most successful years ever had. 21
