YOUR CHORD PLEASE Every Monday and lVednesday fourth period the sound of masculine voices lifted in song pierced the silence of the D. H. S. halls. One who traced the songs to their source would have found the boys' glee club practicing' in the music rooni on third floor. When volunteers were called for at the first ot' the year. t'orty-tive D. H. S. boys tried out for the organization. Since. of course. it is ini- possihle to enter such a large glee club in the contest, there were eliminations until twenty- eigrht singers remained. In selecting' inenibers for the group. Mr. Russell H. Platz chose the voices that would blend the best and the boys who would really work the hardest. After a few months of practicing, the boys' glee club was ready to appear in the December fall concert with Lo, How at Rose Ere Blooniingg' and Proudly as an Eagrlef' 'l'hen they turned their faces toward the spring music contest. For this competition Mr. lllatz directed the boys in Dedication and Un the Sea. 'l'he first con- test. the district, was at West l'nion. Here the glee club earned a Division I rating' and the opportunity to enter the state contest held at Waterloo April 27. Two soloists from thc organization entered the district contest. Peter Torvik, a baritone. sang' Vale, and Bob Dresselhaus, a bass, sang Hive a Man a Horse He Fan Ride. Both won Divi- sion ll ratings.

MORE BLUE RIBBONS ln the fall ot' 1939, approximately one hun- dred girls tried out for the girls' glee club. From this group Miss Anna Mae Davis chose the eighty-six girls who became members. They met for fifty minutes every Monday and NVednes- day to sing under the capable direction of Miss Davis, who was largely responsible for the suc- cess of the group throughout the year. The glee club prepared three songs: With a 'l'oreh, Jeanette Isabella, a Fresh folk tune, Angels D'er the Fields by tiaevert, and To- day 'l'here ls Ringing by Uhristiansen, which they presented at the t'hristmas Vocal Concert, December 21. 'l'wo small groups from the or- ganization also sang numbers for this program. At the beginning ot the second semester it was necessary to reduce the membership to thirty- two to conform with contest regulations. This group practiced diligently on the ditlicult meas- ures ot' 'l'he Valleys ot' Dream by Fletcher, late llas lioveliness 'l'o Sell by lieautieu, and Hear the Sledges With the Bells, an arrange- ment of Edgar Allen l'oe's 'l'he Hells.
