The sec- tions comprised of first and second Sopranos and first and second altos had a regularity of size and volume. This made for the balance desired by all organizations of this kind. Meeting regularly dur- ing the third period on Mondays, the club has un- dertaken many interesting and varied songs. Some of these are taken up merely for the technical dif- ficulties involved and as practice in sight-reading. Others, however, are definitely worked on for a concert performance. The latter made up the se- lections presented by the Glee Club at the Christ- mas concert and at the annual May Music Festival. Among these pieces are included 'il-louse, Good F olk, Adoration of the Shepherds, Cold De- cember's Wintry Blast,', Prayer from Hansel and Cretelf' fa request numberl , The Starw and Alice Blue Gown. At one of our rehearsal periods in the fall, Mr. E321 would be greatly improved if the girls were dressed uniformly at a public performance. After much discussion and planning, a committee was formed and was headed by Mary Stettler and Lucille Nor- denholt. A dress design was agreed upon, material selected, and an insignia chosen. The girls for their mothersj then set to work to make the dresses for the Christmas Concert. They were practically completed at that time and the Glee Club made such a fine appearance that there were many com- pliments. The Glee Club felt amply repaid for their efforts and determined to have all of the dresses finished for the May Festival. Each year a number of the girls try out in the auditions for the N. J. All State Chorus and in the past have been singularly successful. This year's chorus members were Marjorie Mealey, Carol Be- thune, Sylvia Stuckleman, Georgia Strong, Alice Lum, Wilda Curley, Betty Haley, and Ruth Hjort.
