GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB I he Girls Glee Club, which originated in 1911. is ranked with the most popular organ- izations of the school. The Glee Club is in- structive as well as educational. Group sing- ing not only trains the voice of the singer, hut it also teaches the girl obedience and co- operation, without which no organization is successful. The club was really organized in 1917, and from that lime to the present time has been a regular organization of the school. The members receiving one-half credit for two years service. The school shows its appreciation for the efforts of the girls by presenting them with a pin, after they have completed two years of service. This pin can be gained only by service in one of the musical organizations and so is considered quite an honor. I he Glee Club has been directed for the last four years by Mr. Preston. He is a very capable director, as he has had much ex- perience as a soloist and as a teacher of voice culture. The Sunday afternoon concerts, given last year and sponsored by the High School, were aided in their success by the Girls’ Glee Club, file club also had an active place in the semi- annual concert given last spring. The Girls’ Glee Club now consists of 48 members and when these members have served their two years we shall expect to find them enriched by one-half credit, one pin, and much experience.

THE ORCHESTRA Mr. Layton organized the Orchestra in 1920, and from a personnel of a few, this or- ganization has increased until at the present time there are about thirty members. Their first appearance was at the Trolley League Oratorical Contest in April, 1921. 1 he Orchestra, like the band! has appeared in semi-annual concerts. During last winter the Orchestra, assisted by the other three mu- sical organizations, gave free Sunday afternoon concerts, which were much appreciated by the community. It has been quite an advantage to the pupils who have belonged to this organization, be- cause it has given them inestimable experience and instruction. After two years of service each member is presented with a pin, showing the school’s appreciation for their efforts. The Boys’ Glee Club and the Orchestra were enjoyed by an audience at the Springfield Sanitarium last year. 1'his musical organization, at the present time under the leadership of Mr. Cruikshank, should be supported and encouraged by every- one.

THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Not to he outdone by the girls, the boys asked for a glee club in the winter of 1911. This organ 'station continued with varying suc- cess until 1916, when it was made a part of the regular school activities. In 1923. when Mr. Preston was given lead- ership of this organization, new interest was created. This time popularity came to stay with the Glee Club. Mr. Preston has worked hard with the Glee Club and now has some of the best talent in the school enlisted in this organization. The boys have not only helped in the semi- annual concert, given each spring and fall, but they have also aided in the success of the Sunday afternoon concerts, given last spring and sponsored by the High School. They also presented a very enjoyable evening to the inmates of the Springfield Sanitarium last spring. This organization is very popular among the high school students, and we all expect an enjoyable assembly period when they fur- rvsh the program. Not unlike the other three musical organ- izations of the school, they receive a pin and one-half credit for two years work. They practice on Monday and Wednesday of each week and are at present preparing some very well selected pieces. The boys are ably as- sisted at the piano by Miss Frances Dailey.
