Nothing But The Truth “HI bet you ten thousand dollars that I can tell nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours.” This is what Bob bets his friend and he boldly tackles the truth to win the money. The task is placidly easy at first but old man Trouble steps in and then things begin to happen. Situations that are absurd and complications almost knotted pile up.

The Caldronette 1934 The Glee Club In the latter part of October, Mr. Warner held try-outs, and by the first of November we were organized well enough to begin on simple music. We re- hearse Thursday, Special Period, and Friday, after school. At first we rehearsed various numbers so that we might have a repertoire if the Club were asked for a special program. Later we worked up quite a few numbers for a Christmas program. These were: “God Rest You, Merry Gentle- men,” “Silent Night,” “Carol of the Birds,” and “Closing Hymn.” Mr. Warner and the club members are rehearsing diligently for a future program of importance. This is the annual Music Festival which is held at Painesville. Each club in the county gives two numbers separately, and then as a group, all of the glee clubs sing two numbers. These numbers are: “The Viking Song” by S. Coleridge-Taylor and “A Legend” by Tschaikowsky. The two numbers which we have selected are: “The Vesper Hymn,” a Russian Air, and “Ole Uncle Moon” bv Charles I Scott. We also hope in the near future to give a concert in the place of an operetta. There will be several numbers given at commencement too. The officers and their duties are as follows: 1. Gordon Martin is librarian and Rupert Atkins, assistant librarian. These boys give out the music for each rehearsal. If any members wishes to take any music out, he must see either of these boys. 2. There are three pianists: Robert Miller, first pianist; Loraine Nash, second; and Margaret Quirk, third. 3. The duty of the secretary, Virginia Maltbie, is to take attendance at each rehearsal. If there is to be a special rehearsal, she is to notify the mem- bers of the club.
