Glee Club OFFICERS President, Edward Dowey. Manager, Andrew G. White. Secretary, Ruth L. Jenkins. Treasurer, Celeste Reese. During the past year singing at Keystone grew to be more popular than ever before. Under the capable direction of Miss Vivian L. Watkins, Dean of Women, the harmonious strains of mixed voices often rang out through the corridors of Harris Hall. The Glee Club assisted in assemblies and con- certs throughout the year. On March ll it presented its first full length evening concert. A program of eighteen members were Well received by a capacity audience. Although Miss W' atkins has left, con- tinued growth and achievement is expected for next year. Since the Glee Club attracts boys as Well as girls, choruses of four and five parts make the club more entertaining and enjoyable to hear. In addi- tion to singing for the music alone, instruction is given in breath control, expression, enunciation, and good posture. Any student who has talent or inter- est in singing finds himself amply repaid for the time he devotes to the Glee Club. The Glee Club is one of Keystone's most valu- able activities. Through its efforts, students are in- troduced to the better modern music and the price- less classics. Whenever the Keystone Glee Club meets, hearts are Warm and throats are tuned in the joy of singing. Davies, Evans, Carpenter Seated at piano, E.
