All students who have had a year of French are eligible to join this club. At the Hrst meeting of the year the new members were initiated. These initiations afforded much fun to the old members of the club. Walt Disney's famous play HSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was put on in French. All the senior members of the club took part in this presentation. The play was originally planned for an assembly, but it proved so successful that it was repeated in the Rock- land and Norwell high schools. During this successful year a number of regular meetings were held under the leadership of President Rose Kowalski. The Glee Club has enjoyed a number ol periods under the direction of Mr. Moulton and Mr. Yeramian the new music instructor who arrived the latter part of the year. The club made one public appearance when it provided entertainment for the P. T. A. meeting.
