GLEE CLUBS Sing a ,mug of Si.l'f'C'lll'l' .4 fmvkvf full of rye. Music, in its second year of activity, progressed very rapidly under the di- rection of Miss Muscott. 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

In October we had some interesting talks on The VVelfare of the Child and The object of P.-T. A. The subject for discussion in November was, Hot Lunches. We were also favored by several piano solos by Miss Eleanor Spreen of Nvatervliet. Our December meeting was given over to a Christmas entertainment under the di- rection of Miss Muscott, ably assisted by the grade teachers. It included carols by the children, a cantata, The Angel and the Star, by the Girls Glee Club and a pantomime, accompanied by a mixed chorus of High School students. In Jan- uary we had a very unusual program. The girls of the Lo-pu-sty-ka Camp and their guardian, Mrs. Haskell, put on a Campfire Ceremonial. They had as their guests the girls of the Ser-he-lo-ha Camp and their guardian. It was a very colorful and unique entertainment. The most outstanding piece of work accom- plished by the P. T. A. was the Hot Lunch project which was carried on during January and February. Through the eiforts of our organization, the school child- ren were able to secure at a very low cost a nourishing hot dish each day during the winter months. We wish to express our appreciation to Mr. O. R. Smith for his splendid cooperation in preparing the food for the lunches. In March Mr. VVissman gave a very interesting talk on Plant Diseases. The Ways and Means Committee, Lawrence Kenney, chairman, are planning a home talent play to be given in April. 50
