THE STATESMAN Senior Girlsl Glee Club Senior girls' glee club at Kent State high has done admir- able work this year by participating in several successful concerts. The one to be remembered the longest, was the Christmas time program in which a number of musical organizations had a part. Among them were the elementary grades music classes, the Junior and Senior clubs, the boys' organization, and the Junior high glee club. A very lovely part of the program, in keeping with the Christ' mas spirit, was a tableaux of the celebration of Christmas in other countries. While these were being presented, carols were heard in the distance to add a desired effect to the setting. As the curtain closed on the last scene, the strains of the well known hymn Oh Come All Ye Faithful was heard and the girls in the several glee clubs marched slowly down the aisle. The girls, clad in white and carrying red candles, appropriately expressed the Christmas spirit. In addition to this program, several shorter ones have been presented in assemblies The object of the glee clubs is to cultivate a better understand' ing of worth while music and to appreciate it. The songs sung in the meetings are semi-classical and folk songs. Qflicers in the Senior glee club are Betty Miller, presidentg Theresa Oberlander, vice-president, Martha Rufener, secretary- treasurerg lane Maxwell, librarian. The directer is Miss Bachman. PAGE 49
