The Girls' Glee Club Miss Beckett has had charge of the Girls' Glee Club again this year and has been very successful. Trust Miss Beckett to give us a fine Glee Club. Last year there were two Girls' Glee Clubs, a Junior Glee Club and a Senior Glee Club, but this year the two have been working together as one. This is an advantage to Bliss Beckett because she can Work with one group of girls, instead of dividing her attention as she did last term. As this is written several weeks before the end of the term, a full account of the doings of the Girls' Glee Club cannot be recorded. The girls have given us some very enjoyable numbers thus far, and will no doubt give us many more before the end of the term. They pleased us very much the day before Christmas vacation by passing through the halls singing carols. The members of the Girls' Glee Club are Esther Armstrong, Blanche Barline, Vivian Bay, Gladys Chalfant, Jane Dale, Elizabeth Dawson, Erline Duncan, jean Fosbinder, Marjorie Greenberger, Virginia Harris, Nlaureen Hudson, Ruth Hester, Edith Koch, Evelyn Kourian, Cynthia Kreck, Virginia Lane, Gertrude Lawton, Elizabeth Ney, Isabel Sederholm, Helen Shaw, Florence Shur, Gladys Stern, Virginia Stewart, Ruth Sweeney, Dorothy Tip- ton, Frances Turner, Nlildred Welch, Peggy Adams, Lucy Evans, Elva Blake, Elvera Perluss, Aneita Leveke, Ruth Dayen, and Betty Logue.
