The Club was called together at the beginning of the fall term for the purpose of electing oi1 'icers for the year and the following were chosen: President .......... Madalyn O'Brien Vice-President .... Hazel Hollingsworth Secretary ............ Norma Stevens Treasurer ......... Margaret Jennings A new venture in school activities in the student body of our high school was started this fall by Miss Hoke in the formation of a Freshmen Girls' Glee Club. This organization is composed entirely of freshmen who have enjoyed their musical work under the leadership of Miss Hoke. A Christmas Cantata, Child jesus, by Joseph Clokey and Hazel Kirk, was given in the high school auditorium, December 22, 1926. A Band Concert was held at the high school, February 28, 1927. The Girls' Glee Club sang Gypsy Trail by G. VVarhurst, and WVill-o-the-Wisp by I. B. VVilson,. as their share in this musical program. A banquet of the combined Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs and the Fulton High School Orchestra was held in the school cafeteria May 25, 1927, at seven o'clock. Following the banquet, Edward Park acted as toastmaster and called for talks from Madalyn O'Brien, Helen O'Grady, Mahlon Freeman, and Roy Wallace of the organizations, Principal L. H. Strough, and Miss Meryl Hoke. The one-act comedy Rosalie was presented, with Rubye Crowell taking the part of Rosalie, Allen Hazelwood as Mr. Bol and Hazel Martin as Mrs. Bol. A vocal duet was sung by Andrew Lowden and Katherine Hillickg and the monologue Sparkin was given by Margaret Taylor. A banquet was the final activity of a most success- ful season. Boys' Glee Club One of the most important musical organizations of the Fulton High School has been the Boys' Glee Club, with Edward fBudj Parks as its president. Probably the most important event of the Boys' Glee Club this term was the Christmas Cantata, when they combined with the Girls' Glee Club to present this elaborate program. This came on December 19th. The Boys' Glee Club also sang on the night of February 28th when the Citizens Band and the High School Orchestra gave a concert. The numbers played were Anvil Chorus by Verdi and Old Folks at Home by Foster. Besides the numerous public func- tions in which the Boys' Glee Club has participated, it has furnished music for numerous assemblies of the student body and has been very successful. Orchestra One of the most valuable assets to the Fulton High School this year has been its orchestra, under the direction of Miss Hoke. Besides playing for an assembly and ordinary school functions, it has come to the front in a number of the functions of the community. On December 19th, a Christmas Cantata was given by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs combined, which was assisted by the 'High School Orchestra. The affair was enlivened and given a bit more color by the numbers played before the curtain arose and after it fell. Another important event was the musical program presented by the Fulton Citizens Band on February 28th when a number of selections were rendered by the orchestra before the program of the band for the evening was begun. This emphasized the fact that the affair was a high school function. It was well supported by the public and the proceeds benefited the Athletic Association. The most important event at which the High School Orchestra went over big, was an entertainment given by the Daughters of Veterans at Grange Hall on April 22d. The services of the orchestra were donated and a vote of thanks was received from the com- mittee in charge a few days after, showing their appreciation. On the 23d of April, a short entertain- ment was given by the Science Club, for the benefit of the Athletic Associa- tion, at which the orchestra played a
