Scrutchin, This club was founded for the purpose of stimulating interest in choral music among the girls of Laredo High School. The colors ot' time club, red and white, are very effectively carried out in the unit'o1-ms. The club flower, the American Beauty rose, and the Motto 'tMusic washes away the dust of the soul are very appropriate.
