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
