the glee club The Lincoln University Glee Club has come a long way in its 29 years of existence. The Glee Club has become very well known in the North Eastern part of our country through our extensive travels throughout this area, and frequent programs on radio and television. One of the highlights of this year was our nationwide television appearance, where we were honoring Abraham Lincoln. Under the baton of our 4th conductor, Orrin C. Suthern II, our glee club has grown from a small group to a group composed of more than 50 voices, of which we are justly proud. president ... vice-president secretary .. . treasurer . . . officers ............ william womock ........... james a. bronner ................. warren grant ................. thomas newby twonty-oight
