Girls' Glee Club and Chorus The Girls' Glee Club and Girls' Chorus are two different groups although they are organized for the same purpose. The Girls' Glee Club includes many more girls than the chorus, but both have gained a great deal from the music and sing- ing. Mrs. Sherman is the director of both. The ofhcers of the Girls' Glee Club were elected at the hrst of the school year. The president is Jean Barrett, the vice- president, Dorothy Peck, and secretary-treasurer, Margaret King. The Girls' Chorus has worked hard during the year for the county contest that was held in Abingdon on April 16. Although they did not place in this contest, they deserve much credit for their effort. The Chorus has also given a part in various programs during the year. The Homecoming stunt given by the Girls' Glee Club and Girls' Chorus combined was very well presented. As well as being the accompanist of both organizations, Marian Etnire is president of the Chorus. Margaret Johnson is vice-president, and Jean Hunter, secretary-treasurer. E263

Band The Knoxville School Band, directed by Mr. Herman l-lampy, has made considerable progress during the past year. The band was enlarged by a great number of beginners last fall. The band added to the interest of the night foot- ball games this year by being present in uniform and playing for each one. A large amount of work was put forth for the district contest held in Peoria on April 12. The band was placed in the second division which was consid- ered good. Three numbers were played by the band for this contest. Knoxville was well represented in the solo con- tests also held in Peoria. Dean Davis entered in the baritone contest and received first place. Another first place winner was Armando Ghitalla, being en- tered in the trumpet solo contest. Warren Manley and Gordon Wolgamott, playing clarinet and piano, respectively, received second places. MR. I-IAMPY The band is now working for a spring concert to be held on May 14. It has also been requested to play at the Commencement exercises as well as the Little Six Relays to be held on May 18.
