THE SENIIJH CLEC CLUB There are about two hundred members in the Senior Glee Club, which under the efficient direction of Dr. Mildred Bryant-Iones has received favorable commendation from some of the music critics in the city and state. The group has sung at many school assemblies. Some of the most outstanding achievements of the Senior Glee Club are the appearances at the University of Illinois and on two radio programs, one at WLS and the other at WMAQ. This organization has also sung at the Provident Hospital, at every graduation program, and has been featured with the band at concerts given in our school. In 1937 the Senior Glee Club presented an opera directed by Dr. Bryant- Iones, and this year it sung at the All Chicagoland High School Music Festival. This semester the club has sung under the direction of Miss Edna Smith while Dr. Bryant-Iones is studying.
