The boys and girls, carefully chosen for membership in the Choral Club, have justified their selection, not only in the pleasure they give the school but also in the honor which came to Reagan by reason of their placing first in the South Texas Music Contest at Kingsville. Their uniforms of maroon and white add distinction to their appearance, and their voices united in an A Chapella choir cause the listeners to remember them and look forward to hearing them again. BOYS GLEE CLUB Left to right, back row: Edgar McConnell, Eddie Weisner, Duane Buchanan, Joe Todd, Richard Knipp, C. J. Robinson, Clarence Kaiser, Aubrey Lee Pettit, Eugene Brandt, Burrows Taylor, John Weyer.

Nature provided the members with proper vocal equipment and endowed their minds with willingness, and Mr. Lindsay trained them. The result is a glee club of which Reagan is proud — proud of the club as a whole and proud of its individual members who have given in spirit, study, and patience all that was nece ssary to become a satisfactory unit of harmonious voices.

Of all the organizations which aid the students in not only a social way but also a physical and moral way, the Parent-Teacher Association is the most outstanding. Their project for the year 1936-37 has been raising funds to buy instruments and uniforms for the band. Most of the money for this project was realized from the April fete, sponsored by them. STUDENT COUNCIL Left to right back row: Joe Todd, president of Dramatics Club; Arthur Meyer, representative of orchestra; James Heflin, president of Speakers Forum; Glenn Blouin, representative of R. O. T. C. Center row: Bill Turney, captain of track team; Alice Irene Dixon, secretary of junior class; Frances Bishop, president of Red Coats; Opal Howell, president of Modern Dance Club; Maurice Holdgraf, captain of basketball team; Charlotte Stidham, secretary of sophomore class; Barbara Dibble, president of Girls Glee Club; Marion Greve, president of Latin Club; Billy Stroud, president of sophomore class; Viola Gerhart, president of Choral Club; Virginia Vaughan, president of Debate Club.

Williams, sponsor; Edith Epley, editor of Pennant; Mary Bob Coughran, secretary of senior class; Cecil Nixon, president of Boys Glee Club; Charlene George, president of Salesmanship Club; Charles Matthews, president of National Honor Society. The Student Council was organized in 1937 with the aspiration that it will develop into a form of student government. Previously home room representatives had in part discharged these duties, but a definite need arose for a smaller, more manageable body. The membership is now composed of the presidents of students’ organizations and the presidents and secretaries of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes.
