Maitlaqdoqia GL EE CLUB The Girl's Glee Club was organized September 15th, 1922, under the direction of Mrs. Riley. At this meeting these officers were elected: Charline McHugh, pianist, Velma Watson, assistant pianist. The 'Club planned to give special numbers at both the Philomatheon and Zeta Sigma Societies' programs, and others as well. With this in view regular prac- tices were held twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The result of their work and practice was shown when they ap- peared in the following activities: They furnished two numbers at the Philomatheon program in October, giving Carry Me Back to Old Virginny, and a patriotic medley. They sang at the Father and Son banquet, which took much preparation. At the Christmas program they gave a Cantata-carrying out the part of the Virgin Mother. As the robed girls entered the darkened auditorium, and marching down the long aisles, they carried lighted candles, singing Holy, Holy, Holy, which was very effective. Their second number was Silent Night. During the month of January work was begun on the Operetta, entitled, Uncle Sam's Visit, which was given March 14th. Several outside the Glee Club assisted. The Operetta furnished a variety of entertainment. The different Nations were represented in their national costume, singing and dancing their national folk-songs and folk-dances. The last scene was very effective, showing the fifty characters, all sing- ing the Star Spangled Banner, in which the spot lights were used.
