High School Band MUSIC CHORAL MUSIC The mixed chorus and glee clubs carried forward in both senior and junior high school with increased appreciation of this fine art. The boys and girls glee clubs were organized in the fall. The mixed chorus was organized at the beginning of the second semester. Under the capable direction of Miss Martha Buck, we were able to put on programs for various occa- sions. The boys and girls glee clubs combined and separate have given several programs throughout the year.
