ATALANTA 1933 Oitrls’ (r lcc (Club The Girls’ Glee Club began the year with thirty-eight members under the direction of Miss Knowles. This was the largest number ever enrolled. Loretta King was elected president and Edna Mae Brandt, secretary. With a nucleus of thirty members from last year’s Club and with the addition of some excellent material from the Freshman class the organization started out with enthusiasm. Practice was held on Monday and Wednesday afternoons of each week. The girls first appeared in public at the convocation service held at the Methodist Church the latter part of September. Other appearances were on the occasion of Homecoming, a meeting of the Parent Teachers Association, and at the “Night School”. At Christmas time they sang a group of carols at the Christmas programs of both the Christian and Methodist Churches. Following their participation in the Preliminary contest they sang their winning selections before the Atlanta Woman’s Club. The Club was entered in the County contest held at New Holland, the Sub-district contest at Normal, and the District meet held at Normal the week following the Sub-district. The Club won first in the County and Sub-district meets. Everyone had hopes of winning the District, which would have given t em the honor of representing this district in the State contest at Champaign. Their efforts fell a little short of winning that distinction. However, much credit is due this group of girls and their capable directoress, Miss Knowles. The year’s work was concluded with numbers on the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs. It was a busy and profitable year for the members of the Club. —Emily Jean Crih field, 35. Hack row: Ambers.
