Boys' Glee Club OFFICERS President - - - - BRUCE ROBINSON Vice-President - - - GEORGE MILLER Secretary - JAMES VJELTY Pianist' - MAMIE Cl-llLES Director' - - MR. EVANS LTHOUGH there were fewer and less experienced Vocalists in thc club this year than last, the Boys' Glee Club, founded twenty-three years ago, enjoyed a very successful season. Every Tuesday, the sixth period, this club met in the auditorium. During 1937-1938, the Boys' Glee Club, combined with the Senior Mixed Chorus, sang in various assemblies to the great delight of the appreciative audience. This year at Kenton on the eighth of April, the annual eisteddfod was held, in which the Boys' Glee Club and the boys' octet participated. The club sang My Bonnie Lass, She Smileth , while the octet, composed of Charles Peterson, George Miller, John Kemph, Richard Meilly, Howard Laman, Gene Miller, Neal Kessler, and Herbert Gefell, sang Water Boy . The three schools which competed in this Eisteddfod, were Marion, Kenton, and Central. Mr. Evans, always near or at the top in musical competition, should be congratulated on his moulding of the glee club into a formidable group of singers. Mamie Chiles should also be commended on her splendid job as accompanist. ' -NEAL KESSLER ninety-one
