Both the girls' and the boys' Glee Clubs, at the begin- ning of the year, organized into functioning bodies. The girls' club chose for its name, Philharmonic, while the boys' club chose 0rpheus for its name. Rehearsals were held once a week for each club. On November eleventh, the Orpheus club entertained the XYatervliet Boys Glee Club at a very enjoyable affair. A Christmas program was given on December eighteenth, in which both clubs appeared. The Philharmonic club gave the Christmas Cantata, The Angel and the Star. Soon after Christmas, work was begun on the Operetta, The Gypsy Rover, a romantic musical comedy, which was given on April twenty-tifth and was a big success. It was the climax of the whole year's activities in music, for both the clubs. Its success was due to the careful and patient training of our director, Miss Muscott. 48

MEDAL WINNERS l l H.Slll1CIl'fhX', .VHIfII'f'X', SllICU'f,X', , Tlmuylzt ydllilf l1rI7't' rl f'fIl'fj',:' l For the past several years, the Board of Education has awarded gold medals to the high school students who have gained special distinction in scholarship, character, personality and school citizenship. VVe believe that these are very essential qualities which a student should seek to attain in his or her high school career. Their possession will be of inestimable value in the realization of the best in their future as well as being most valuable in their present school life. VVe believe that the Board of Education has conferred a real favor by man- ifesting its support of the policy of our school by granting these line and attrac- tive medals from year to year. Not only does it provide an added incentive on the part of the student, but it gives him or her a concrete reminder of' a worthy achievement. VVQ are pleased to announce the names of the following students who won the medals for the school year of 1928-29. Maxine H. Olson, '29 tDo- mestic Artj 3 Clara M.
