Boys' Glee Club Boys' Glee Club has become a permanent organization in the music depart- ment of the Hayes County High School. In this club, all boys that have any musi- cal ability what-so-ever are given a chance to develop their Voices and to learn to read notes. This year the group is slightly out of balance, due to the over abund- ance of second tenors. From this group, Mr. Evans picked a boys' quartet. Curtis Leffler, Darwin Yonkers, La Vern Schneider, and Maurice Schuman sing in it. Both the Glee Club and the Quartet will sing at the Frenchman Valley music festival and at the district contest at McCook. Darwin Yonkers will represent the boys as Baritone Soloist at the contest. Wilma Mintling is pianist for the group and Mr. Evans is the director. -1 1..

Ins+rumen'ral Class Due to the fact that most of the Band and Orchestra graduated in the class of 1940, Miss Morgan and Mr. Evans found themselves with a very serious lack of players at the beginning of this year. However a call was put out for beginners and students responded readily. At the end of the first semester a band of 18 pieces was organized. In this group were 6 cornets, 3 clarinets, 2 baritone horns, 2 trombones, 2 alto saxo- phones, bass horn, snare drum, and bass drum. Three individuals, starting late in the semester, on cornet, saxophone, and clarinet were not ready to play with the larger group and continued their individual practices. The band made its first public appearance at the Hamlet basketball game, February 6. Nine individuals got the benefit of class instruction in violin, given by Miss Morgan. Orchestra was not organized during this year because of the inexperience of all the players but will be among the music activities next year. -10-

Girls' Glee Club 1 The Girls' Glee Club was organized in a new way this year. The entire group of girls, who wished to sing, was divided into a regular and a junior glee club. The junior group is made up to a large extent of sophomores and freshmen. The regular club has twenty-two members, juniors, seniors, and sophomores. A sextette--Bonnie Leffler, Marjorie Leffler, Thelma Kotschwar, Lorraine Orman, jane Adair, and Fay Gangwish-has been picked by Miss Morgan. Bonnie Leffler will represent the group as soprano soloist. Both groups and the soloist will appear at the district music contest at Mc- Cook. The sextette and the soloist will appear at the Frenchman Valley Music Festival. Miss Morgan has taken direct leadership of this group, however, Mr. Evans has helped with the directing of the regular glee club. ...121
