“The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” Disraeli . . . who fears to follow where airy voices lead.” Keats “ . . . And tongues to be your being shall rehearse ...” Shakespeare Once again the Glee Club presented its annual Christmas pageant of music. While appropriate selections were sung by the group, the Christmas story was portrayed through the use of symbolic silhouetted figures, composed of members of the art staff. This presentation instilled in everyone the true Christmas spirit and was fully enjoyed by all in attendance. 23

GLEE CLUB “Music is well said to be the speech of the angels,” for when all else fails us, music can always express our inner-most thoughts. Music is a part of everyone’s life and it is especially important to the members of the Glee C lub. To them, music is a source of enjoy- ment and of fun, which they want to share with others. L ' nder the direction of Miss Margaret Hines is a group of talented students who form one of the most active clubs in Holbrook High School-the Glee Club. Performing at most school functions, they display great talent and much ambition. Improving through the months, they have shown amazing results through conscientious rehearsing and cooperation. A great deal of time has also been spent in develop- ing individual talent, but the dub works as a unit in its annual concerts. These students have combined their many voices to form a single one which could be said to be the “speech of the angels.” “ . . .

BAND Stout . . . they march, a blustering band ...” Dryden A well-known group at Holbrook High School is the band. It can be seen and be heard at football games, assemblies, and pep rallies. However, these are not the only functions of the band. Under the direction of Mr. Francis Buckley, the members learn both musically and socially. The musicians obtain a firm background in music by joining the band. It also aids greatly those students who plan to continue in a musical education after they graduate from high school. They must learn to work with others, for the band must sound like one unit, not like separate members si mply playing their own parts. As in the past, Holbrook was well represented this year by its number of musicians participating in state and New England bands and orchestras, to which entry may be gained only by “stiff” com- petition. The band ' s busy season was climaxed by its annual spring concerts. What a world of happiness their harmony foretells ...” Poe I never saw his like; there lives no greater leader.” Tennyson
