Speakmd glad This, club, consisting of twelve people, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Prince, meets each Friday to not only become acquainted with the types of speeches, but also to gain a better understanding of the techniques of speech-making. Several times during the year members of the club have revealed the fruit of their efforts at formal and informal occasions, and their poise and self-assurance was certainly admirable. l i Left to right: H.

Vennamen. glee em The Cflee Club at Burnham, under the direction of Victor Prahl, has given the school many memorable moments of music. They presented the annual Burnham Bubbles and the school got a glimpse of a great deal of formerly hidden talent. They executed the show with great poise and almost professional presence of mind. We hope subsequent Glee Clubs at Burnham will be able to maintain the standard set by that of '47. 55
