Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club has spent a very profitable year under the direc- tion of Miss Hamann. They have not only gained more ability in their line but have also given, with the help of the Freshman Girls' Glee Club, a very successful operetta, Rings in the Sawdustf' While this play was not sup- posed to be very complicated, it gave the boys a chance to demonstrate their ability. Norval Miller, as the leading character, played a fine part, and Marjorie Fischer, as the leading lady, also demonstrated her ability. George Schuler, Ruby Drury, Esther Harris, and Edwin Holloway did some excellent acting, while William Schuyler and Donald Hall played their roles as comedians exceedingly well. U l27l

The Freshman Reception was looked forward to with a great deal of glee- ful expectation by the Sophomoresg as for the Freshmen, Well, you know that Freshie feeling- Oh if I were only a Senior. The Sophomores proved more resourceful than ever thfs year and were able to keep the Freshies on their toes waiting for the next stunt. This enjoyable party was soon followed by the Freshman return party, Slnce this v. as a masquerade everyone enjoyed himself to the utmost. During the year the Juniors gave- several small dances. Although these were given for tlie purpose of raislng money for the Junior Prom, they were none tl1e less enjoyable and will long be remembered, especially by the Juniors. A new idea of having each class sponsor a dance was inaugurated this year. So far, the Seniors have been the only class to give a dance. We were all very glad to see a good crowd and to observe, especially, that there were many alumini attendQng. , Now we are looking eagerly forward to the big event of the year, the Junior Prem. Due to the cifcrts of the Juniors, it is expected to be one of the best Proms yet given. I C ' MQW ,D , l29l
