Girls Enjoy Singing Together The Bluffton High School Girls’ Glee Club is composed of seventy girls, grades nine through twelve, who enjoy singing. Under the direction of Miss Souder, the girls meet twice a week to practice, chat, and enjoy themselves while they prepare for various performances. They sang for the PTA Christmas program with the boys’ glee club. The glee club also performed at other concerts and some assemblies. In the spring they took part in music competitions.
