During the semester, the choir has partici- pated in the Thanksgiving assembly, the annual Nativity, and various programs in and out of school. The choir is the MISS SIGRID GREENHILL Director most advanced ot our music classes. s The girls' sextet and their etticient accompanist have worked diligently this semester, Two or three mornings a week, you could have heard them harmonizing in room 2l9 on classical and semi-classical pieces.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club is made up of girls who are working to obtain better development of their voices. Besides receiving some valu- able training, the girls get much enjoyment from singing together in a group. They have several chances to appear on programs dur- ing the year. Every semester some of these girls are chosen to sing with the A Cappella Choir during the following semester. This term about forty girls were enrolled under the dlrection ot Miss Greenhill. BOYS' GLEE CLUB lf you happen to pass by room 2l 9 the third hour on Boys' Glee Club day you will hear the voices of some of the school's best and most advanced male singers. These boys, un- der the direction of Miss Sigrid Greenhill, have an excellent opportunity to gain musical knowledge and also a good chance to partici- pate in group singing. The Boys' Glee Club takes an active part singing in many programs both. here at East High and elsewhere. yN,ff' f r N-1 Row 1: Abe Sommerville, Bob Kellogg, Dale Cunion, Harry Chopard, Wendell Burbank, Richard McGriff, -Bill Kellogg, Dale Suddeth, Charles Hadden, Row 2: Gerald LaBlanc, Gerald Brady, Dale Nystrom, Jim Ingalls, Dan Niffenegger, Jim Brookins, Lavester Fitz- patrick, Miss Greenhill, Row 3: Charles Kerr, Bill Terrell, Dwight Ellis, Kenneth Kline.

BORG .-2 6.. BAND Under the direction of Mr. Borg, the band this semester has had a very suc- cessful marching and concert season. Aiding Mr. Borg during the marching period, when the band appeared at foot- ball games, and other activities con- nected with sports, was Dick Strasburg, the drum major. When the bond was on the field, Dick was responsible for direct- ing the maneuvers. Marching with the drum major in front of the band are the five colorful major- ettes and the four color-guards. The complete band, combined with this color- ful array, forms a very picturesque scene as it moves down the field. Having com- pleted the marching season, the bond settles down for the concert season. Un- like the marches and cadences stressed while the band is marching, they now study the more serious types of music. Appreciation of fine music is one of the points considered at this time. We hope that Mr. Borg will have many more se- mesters as successful as his first one has been.
