REELS OF REAL Featuring The All-Girl Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Mary Watkins, has completed a very successful year in entertaining the people of this city with many outstanding performances. These include the following: Three band concerts. Baccalaureate service. Commence- ment, assembly services, churches, and one of the most outstanding was the exchange assembly with New Lexington. This club consists of twenty-eight talented singers of the school who were not drawn from any musical group but were chosen by Competitive tryouts from the entire feminine student body. The Girls' Glee Club regular meeting was held on Tuesday afternoon and the third period of Wednesday morning. These meetings were devoted to learning new songs for the coming attractions, listening to musical records, and singing part songs. Mixed Chorus Something New A new type of musical organization is the mixed chorus. This was organized for those boys and girls who wanted to sing, but who were unable to be in glee club. This chorus consisted of twenty-five boys and girls with promising voices. The mixed chorus met every Wednesday morning, the first period. They devoted their time to singing and listening to musical records. One-fourth credit is given to anyone who participates in this chorus. C. H. S. Music Students Receive Honors At District Contest Four C. H. S. students and the Band participated in the South Eastern Ohio District Solo and Ensemble Contest at Logan April 5 and 6, 1940.
