OF THEE WE SING Wonicin ' s Glee Club provides sinj ers for Chapel Choir If you pass East Duke on Tuesday evening, you will probably hear strains of music as a hundred talented young women raise their voices in harmony. They are glad to see the Men ' s Glee Club go on tour because then they can sing in the Sunday Chapel I service. They also form the Living Christmas Tree and a selected few join the men for the presentation of Handel ' s Messiah. MRS. J. FOSTER BARNES directs the Woman ' s Glee Club. Mrs. Barnes has led the Glee Club for twenty-seven years. She trains students for Chapel Choir and solo parts. The Glee Club is, in Mrs. Barnes ' words, a training ground. New members sing out with might and main, hoping they will be discovered and Mrs. Barnes will open wide the gates to the Choir, Hoof ' n ' Horn productions, or the Triple Trio. The girls in the club are usually there for the pure enjoyment of singing in a group, and if you ' re lucky enough to be in it, you will listen to the tweet of Mrs. Barnes ' familiar whistle, signaling the time to stop chattering and get down to business.
