But in September when the school bell rang; We began our practice for the season ahead. To sing, and cheer for Laramie High, Blending our voices to the sky. Starting in September with Miss Nickelson, our di- rector. wc songsters began practice, anti made ready for our future tours of the coming season. To help guide us Margaret Hisey was selected as manager, Gloria Gibbs, as- sistant manager, and Shirley Mac Nelson began her work as secretary-treasurer. The first party given was the initiation of new mem- bers. which was an informal affair. On October 3, the first performance was proffered by a quartet of pirls who sang for an A. A. U. W. gathering held at the University. A sextette performed for the Lin- coln school P.-T. A. October 15. The next program was given by eighteen girls, again for the A. A. U. W. club, October 30, in the Nellie Tayloe Ross room. As the Christmas holidays were nearing, the yulctidc singing began. Twelve from the group journeyed to the Old Timer’s Club where they sang several Christmas num- bers December 12. The fifteenth of December a group sang carols for the Stanton P.-T. A. A Christmas party given by the Union Pacific club at Gray’s Gables December 19 was another place where the group sang. On December 22, a Christmas assembly was given by a chorus composed of girls from the seventh and eighth grades and the Glee Club, making it an effective scene as all were dressed in dark robes and were holding lighted candles. The choir sang Christmas selections, throughout the hour program, and several readings were also presented. After the holidays, next on schedule was a Kiwanis assembly at which the Girls’ Glee Club offered a group of songs. February 16 the girls sang for the P.-T. A. Found- ers’ day gathering, and on the following week they parti- cipated in a Womans' club program. Following were the travels made in the month of March. On March 9 a few members san« for the Kappa Delta Pi Sorority. March 28 the club took part in a musi- cal program given by the high school band, orchestra and Glee Club. The month of April brought preparations for one of the largest performances of the year for the group, it was the third Spring Festival. Special colorful costumes and scenery were used for this occasion making it a highlight in the spring program of the school. May 1 began Music Week which put everyone in the mood for the most important event of the year for the club. It was the State Music Festival at Casper where tal- ented students in band, orchestra and glee club from all over the state gathered for musical contests. To end their interesting work the girls sang their fare- well tunes at Baccalaureate and Commencement. Through fall, winter, and spring The music did always ring; And though the tour is at an end Still in our memory the voices blend. So to you who arc leaving us. wc say Wc hope you may always sing on your way. St
