5 f'?, ,v SENIOR BOYS' GLEE CLUB BILL PARMLEY The Boys' Cilee Club, one of the oldest musical organizations in the school, has completed another successful term and continues to rank among the better vocal groups of its type in the city. Our main work this term was in the Musical Festival, held here at Beau- mont. Our two selections were Marching Men and Praise Ye the Father. Vwle received a rating of l in Class B. In addition to this we participated. together with the boys of the Mixed Chorus, in the play Bachelor Born, providing the necessary vocal passages. However, the activities of the club are not confined to singing only: on February Zl we held our annual dance in the gymnasium and are planning a swimming party early in June. Since many of our members are seniors. there will be a number of openings for new members next term. So if you have any vocal ability and can lit into a group of friendly boys, you are welcome to our organization. Much of the credit for our success should go to our capable sponsor and leader.

CADUCEUS ' it A wh e lx- N 1 .5 1 A Q oil' ' , 'Q MIXED CHORUS ' ,Ji-. J A f Y I 'J A NADINE MERK M fi f ' r The Beaumont Mixed Chorus is an organization comprised of upperfterm students interested in choral training. This group meets daily the first period 0 in Room 302. The enrollment at the present time consists of ll2 students. -W Because of the large number of girls applying for admission each term it has been necessary to limit such admissions in order to balance the choral parts. During this term the group has been hard at work preparing for the Music Festival, given April l. After having spent some time on light operatic selections. we are now working on the more serious and technical a cappella type of music. l-lospodi Pomiluin, a Russian hymn by Lvosky and Gloria Patrin by Palestrina are typical a cappella selections sung by the Mixed Chorus. Although our work occupies most of our time we always enjoy the social activities given by the group. This term we are looking forward with great eagerness to our annual picnic to be given at Chain of Rocks Park on June 7.
