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

While the seventh and eighth grade singers receive no credit for their enjoyment, the Freshmen receive one- fifth of a credit a year for singing on Mondays and Wednesdays in the sixth period. At the beginning of the year, a special chorus was chosen from the most experienced vocalists. It assembled every Monday and Friday during the Home Room period to perfect the singing of various pieces. - Although there was a slightly smaller number of singers in the Junior Chorus than last year, Mr. Clark, the director, has done a very fine piece of Work during the year and should be heartily congratulated by the student body. During the month of May, a music festival was held in which many of the members participated. The Junior Chorus members who were not included in the picture are Ann Alexander, Dorothy Allen, Jeanne Blakely, Mary Burnett, Florence Chorba, Jane Conoway, Thomas Cottrell, Don Cox, Janet Cox, Billy Davies, Jack Evers, Harry Ewing, Janet Fritz, June Gray, Shirley Haines, David Hall. Evelyn Hermann, Mary Jane Joseph, Bernita Knipe, Marilyn Rose Knipe, Bar- bara Lefller, Dale Meffly, William Rose, Gordon Sherrick, Louise Smith, and Lucille Steen. -NEAL KESSLER ninety-three
