Although the Girls ' Glee Club have been working under difficulties it has done sur- prisingly well. They have been unable to have a set hour for rehearsal during the day but have given part of their time after school. They hope next year to appear before the public as well as they did before the Literary societies this year.

A. C. H. S. Orchestra standing — G. Brown, Howard Bailey, Lynn Wixson, H. E. Robinson Jr., Don McKelvjy Samuel Meeker. Seated — Viola Meeker, Beatrice Laughead, Edith Simpson, Elizabeth West, Hazel S mpson, Harold Blayney, Harry Mann, Harry Oliver. Owing to the fact that this organization was not started until the second semester of this term, it has not yet reached the touring or jazz stage. However, the few mem- bers who have had the grit to stick with the work, and who have faithfu ' ly met each Monday night, are progressing nicely and promise the nucleus of an orchestra for 1921-22 that will be the pride of old A. C. H. S. As is a ' ways true with every new school organization, many members promised to take active part in the orchestra but conflicting attractions, etc., played havoc with many good intent ' ons and the orchestra as it now stands is Dale Wixson, Violinist; Harry Mann, Cornet; Harry Oliver, Cornet and drum; Elizabeth West and Hazel Simp- son, Piano. Just keep your eyes on the A. C. H. S. Orchestra next year and make up your mind to be part of it now. I H. E. Robinson, Jr.

They have made a big hit with the school. Their part in the school functions and society meetings is looked forward to with enthusiasm. This is the first year that Alexis has had a boys ' quartet and we are all pleased with their efforts to please us. Chorus The chorus under direction of Miss Lillian Treadwell, is perhaps the most active group among the musical organizations, this year, rehearsal being held once a week. The group has sung at different times before the schoal in assembly and Literary pro- grams. The real success, however, is hoped for at the end of the year.
