Else Qtluh The G-lee Club was first organized on December 10, 1907, under the name of the Lucerne Glee Club and the name is still retained. There were then eight members. First Sopronos: Birdie McFall, Kate N01'llllIlglZ0l1, Second Sopranos: .Toe Parry, Pearly Story, First Altos: Kate Burgroff, Frances Grey, Second Altos: Myrtle Cornish, Olive Min- ear. These merry people sang at various entertain- ments. Among their productions Were: Welcome Pretty Primrose Flower By I Pinsute-Benbow. ln llld Madrid By Tratere G-racia. Fair l 7al'l'odills By Denza.

Edna Barber, Vada lslelsley, First So- pranos, lllva Minear, Maude Fox, Leda Burstrom, Bessie Aekerly, Second Sopranos, Helena Van- derwel, Ellen Larsen, Mary Leonard, Myrtle Cornish, Altos. The Club has not been organized very long so we have not had, many trying ordeals imposed upon us as yet. Probably the greatest undertak- ing, ffor us or the camera: you may be judgel Was having ten exposures made in order to get a pic- ture Which did justice to the beauty of the mem- bers. The most amusing and interesting was see- ing the Misses Minear and Larsen doing the tight- rope act, balancing themselves on the top of a low step ladder, While the remainder of the group were going through the various contortion acts arranging themselves upon the rounds of tl1e lad- der, to get in a position which would be less harm- ful to the camera and do more credit to them- selves. We have not yet gained a firm footing in the World, but all We need is time. lVe are only four months old and we have already presented a number of selections, among which are: Swing Song By - Sohr. Oli, Won 't You Come and Dance VVith Me? By Goate. lVhite Butterfly 1 BY Denza. Last, but by all means not least, we sang that beautiful and heartrending Johnnie Smockerf' On May 24 a Japaneese Opperetta, Princess Chrysanthemum, by C. King Procter was given un- der the auspices of the Glee Club, assisted by fif- teen model school children and twenty-five Nor- mal Students. The training of Prof. J. J. Jack- son. The Whole opperetta is of bright color and movement, and was one of the best things of the season. Listen and you can hear us sing the Lucerne VVarble.
