Boys' Glee Club With an enrollment of twenty-nine members, the Boys' Glee Club has done fine work under the direction of Miss Dorothy Dale, instructor. Besides singing at the Poultry Show last fall, the boys took an active part in the operetta, A Nautical Knot, where they appeared as gobs in ship-shape style. They also sang at the Musical Festival at the Hum- boldt State Teachers College in Arcata, bringing credit to the school. This year, with an increase of thirteen members, the club has been able to do more difficult part singing. It is gratifying to note the in- creased interest shown by the boys, most of whom are outstanding in other activities. A new plan has been formulated whereby musical awards will be made for active mernbership in the organization. Part singing has not been limited to the glee clubs. All of the voices of the student body were tested and divided into soprano, alto, tenor and bass sections. The mixed chorus, consisting of Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, led the student body in the singing of 'Christmas carols in parts. Page Eighty-six

More than 100 students were in the cast. Barnstapoole girls and towns people were represented by the Girls Glee Club, and the sailors by the Boys Glee Clulo. The art class, dancing class, and clothing class aided a great deal in making this a success both dramatically and financially. The special orchestra played for the audience between acts. Ione Wescott and Zelma Burnside Were accompanists for the operetta. Miss Dorothy Dale was the director. Miss Mary Hornaday, Miss Helen Ford and Miss Carol Chapman all helped in making this operetta a success. Page Eighty-five

Girls' Glee Club The Girls, Glee Club under the direction of Miss Mary Hornaday has had a very successful year. Miss Hornaday, the art teacher, cannot only blend colors but has proven her ability to blend voices as well. The greater number of girls enrolled Were freshmen who had little or no training in part singing. Although difficult at first, good second so- prano and alto sections were developed. The newly adopted uniforms have added much to the appearance of the club. The glee club took part in many programs including the Fresh- men Reception, the Poultry Show, the Girls Hi Jinks, the operetta, A Nautical Knot, the Baccalaureate Service and the Music Festival. With Nora Hopper as president, Wilma Chapman and Myrtle Dins- more as librarians, the cooperation and application of this group has been excellent. From the glee club nine or ten voices were selected to sing in a special chorus which practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the advisory period. The girls learned numerous three and four part songs, singing them in several programs. They also took part in the Christmas play. Page Eighty-seven
