N H Student Volunteers W I. HAVE EXISTED, Small aiid not very mighty, but existed nevertheless, three ' ears now. For those of us who are graduating this vear, remember well the night in Bertha ' s room, when we decided to meet together once each week to keep on dreammg together, and perhaps help our dreams and each other ' s to come true — we were probies then. Each year we like to give honorable mention to Mrs. Dickason (Bertha Bates) who is our only real missionary, and the biggest inspiration to the group. It is our most sincere aim to instill within each heart and mind of the girls in the school the knowledge that each week there is an hour set apart, not onlv where girls who are missionarily inclined mav meet together; but when any girl who wishes to spend those few moments in worship, may be together in Communion and fellow- ship with the Christ.

O N H IT f rp ' p - . ' - ' f ' j ' r n ,P , | , J .W P ' . P r :p OfSp Glee Club OUR Glee Club has become one of the most prominent activities of the school, and surely, one of the most fascinating. Under the capable direction of Mr. Charles Frederic Morse, another year has successfully passed. Those of us who are near the end of our course in the school, are beginning to realize how much these weekly meetings together have meant to us. After eight hours on duty, music, with all Its various meanings and interpretations, has a way all of its own of refreshing us and helping us to appreciate another side of life. Not only do we sing, but Mr. Morse teaches us some of the theory of vocal music by emphasizing enunciation, phrasing, breathing, expression, and by giving us a general understanding of music as a whole. Last vear, in place of the annual concert, the Glee Club presented an operetta, The Wild Rose. During this production, we discovered some of our members were not only musically, but also dramatically inclined. The vear ' s program would not be complete if we failed to sing Christmas Carols through the Hospital at that joyous season. The girls who are members of the Glee Club are certainly repaid in knowledge and appreciat ' ion of music, for the small amount of time spent. Had we not participated, most of us would have felt that some phase of our education had been neglected.
