Despite this variey of thought, the entire group will remember, with a great deal of pleasure, that organization of eighty-five girls, who, united by a common desire, spent many happy hours in the company of their faculty adviser, Miss Sprague. They will recall her having so large a enrollment in the organization that it became necessary to have two girls’ glee club groups, and they will remember the great pleasure they derived from singing selections written for three-part singing and for a cappella rendition. How solemn and impressive w'ill the Christmas program seem when they call to mind, how as a vested choir, in a candle-light procession. they inaugurated the Christmas program with the ever-lovely and always-to-be-loved carols, ’Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” “O Come and Adore,” and the majestic “Adeste Fideles.” Their memories will live long on the other selections of varied natures, which made their vocal musical work so worth while. With fond appreciation to Miss Sprague for her efforts, the Senior girls bid a last adieu and promise to hold as cherished thoughts the happy times spent in the girls’ musical organization, the Girls’ Glee Club. Perhaps there are no Lawrence Tibbets nor John Charles Thomases in the Boys’ Glee Club, but nevertheless the aggregation of fifty-five that makes up that organization is composed of the peppiest and most enthusiastic boys in the entire school. With an understanding of the musical likes and dislikes of people of high school age. Miss Sprague, faculty adviser of this group, soon collected a number of selections which the boys enjoyed singing especially well. In that group were the ever popular “Bells of the Sea,” “Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen,” “Away for Rio,” and “Old King Cole.” The entire club, which because of its size had three individual practice periods, soon found the practicing of four-part songs especially pleasant. The boys worked with great zest on their minstrel show. “The Land O’ Cotton Minstrel”, which, with its solos, quartette harmonies, and choruses, was presented at the spring festival before a very appreciative audience. Credit for the success of the Boys’ Glee Club goes to Miss Sprague for her vivacious handling of the group. G L F A.I E C L U B S PAGE TWENTY-NINE

The Christmas Operetta, “The Legend of the Snowman , which was presented on December 17, 1937, under the capable guidance and able supervision of Miss Althea Sprague, music instructor, was one of the finest of its kind. All students from grades 1-12 participated in it. The whole story is based on the old legend, “If a child does a good deed on Christmas Eve, the Snowman will come to life a few brief minutes before midnight.” Bob. a very selfish boy, does not believe in this, but his sister, Betty thinks there may be some truth in the legend. Bob is ignored by the Japanese Juggler-men, the Christmas Imps, Newsboys, and many others because he does not treat them fairly. As midnight approaches. Betty tells Bob to come downstairs and see the presents. Filled with anguish, he goes with her and admires his gifts. At the same time he hears the newsboys, whom he turned down the night before, calling Extra, Extra!” He tell them to enter and gives them many of his presents. Just then the door opens, and the Snowman comes to life for a few minutes. Bob is no longer a selfish boy, and everything is gay and bright in a grand finale. The very beautiful costumes, dances, and the lighting effects aided in making the operetta a success. CAST The Snowman..........
