U. S. Grant MEMOIRS Page 23 Glee Club THE Grant High Glee Club made its first public appearance on Open House night, where it sang several numbers. The club is composed of about eighty students; and the quality of the voices, says Mr. E. Maldwyn Evans, the musical director, is exceedingly fine. The girls have been learning several lovely songs, among which are, “Killarney,” “The Cuckoo,” “The Moon and the Children,” and “The Mill Wheel.” This club meets every Tuesday and Friday, the boys in the Study Period, the girls in the Third. Students may derive great benefit from the excellent training given, as well as gain one credit each year. New talent is always desired, so as many as possible are requested to sign up next term and help make the Grant High School Glee Club a body of which to be proud. Anne Bricknki.i,.

Page 22 MEMOIRS V. S. Grant Fire Squad AS there were so many pressing matters to be attended to in organizing the school and as there were no experienced firemen registered, a fire squad was not organized at Grant until late in the term. The present squad was chosen by the principal, upon the recommendation of the teachers. Hereafter the squads will be selected from a waiting list. The names on this list will be those of pupils who have passed a certain test, and who have a satisfactory record in studies, attendance and conduct. No time record has been established because of the lack of sidewalks from three of our exits. But we shall have all sidewalks soon, and then, with the full co-operation of the student body, Grant will have rapid, orderly fire drills. Ai.va Horsfki.dt.

MEMOIRS U. S. Grant Page 24 Our Orchestra GRANT is exceedingly fortunate in having for its orchestra leader Mr. Robert E. Millard. Mr. Millard is a member of the well-known Portland Symphony Orchestra and also plays a flute in the orchestra of the Rivoli Theater. Mr. Millard has appointed Tom Frewen as assistant instructor. At the open house on Friday, November 21, the orchestra played three selections which showed what it had accomplished in such a short time. So far, “Selections From Carmen” is the orchestra’s masterpiece.
