The work has been mostly three-part singing Cthat is, soprano, mezzo--soprano, and altoj, although some quartet work was carried on.

Together with the Boys' Glee Club, they have appeared four times before our own school, and approximately ten times in outside programs, including three radio broadcasts from stations KBPS, KXL, and KICX, respectively. They sang carols at Christmas time in the Veterans' Hospital and were very much appreciated.
