They are chosen from the chorus classes by audition with Mr. Barbee. The girls sing popular standards, and they practice period eight every day. Included among the many outside activities this year was the annual dinner during which the girls serenaded the patrons of Crosby's. The club this spring also gave its annual concert at which time Mr. Bar- bee's April Suite was sung with great success.

25TH YEAR For 25 years Mr. George Strickling has been leading the Heights High Choir in its excellent performances. This year they celebrated not only the director's silver anniversary with the choir but also his golden anniversary in music. December 22 over 2,000 people filled the auditorium not only to hear the talented choir sing but also to honor Mr. Strickling. President Eisenhower sent a telegram of cohgratu- lations to the choir and its director. This year they had many singing engagements at churches, hospitals, places honoring the holiday festivities, and on radio programs. February l9 they sang at the Music Hall with the Longines Symphonette, which is conducted by Mishel Piastro. March 19 600 singers attended the Lake Erie League Choral Festival here, where the first such festival was held. The Choir Mothers' Club plans affairs to raise money for the choir's trips and activities. February 23 they had their annual card party in the Social Room. When the choir was first organized, there were 3l students in all, this year it is composed of 90 students. May 5, 6, and 7 they made their annual trip, this time to St. Louis. Mrs. Sydney Hesse presents Mr. Strickling with a gift from the Choir Mothers' Club. The Choir accompanies Loretta Lorz as she sings Yonder, Yonder at the Christmas Concert.

QM x W' Arid -V Mr. Barbee seems to be doing more than conducting the Boys' Glee Club. By watching their director the boys can usually determine the words of the sang. Every seventh period Room 321 rings with the voices of the thirty-five boys in the Boys' Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Harold E. Barbee. Although the primary purpose of this organization is singing for enjoyment, other people are thrilled by the songs of this club at their annual concerts with the Girls' Glee Club, at their radio broadcasts, and at the banquet for the parents in Jan- uary. All boys are eligible to apply for membership. They need only see Mr. Barbee and have an interview and an audition. These boy singers have a club organization with Nat Lipsic, president, Al Krulak, vice-president, and Dennis Donegan, sec- retary-treasurer. The section leaders are Sanford Fleishman, first tenor, Bill Meyer, second tenor, Al Krulak, baritone, and Nat Lipsic, bass.
