56 THE SKETCH Best Boy Sport As we go walking down the hall, We see a boy both large and tall. If you would put me to the test, I would tell you he is best In sports and school and everything. So here is Henry Dillon, Hank to us And tho' he doesn't make a fuss When it comes to basketball Hank is sure to help us all Learn to be good sports. School Pest And now we come to the worst school pest, And by the worst I don't mean best. The one the teachers ought to spank Can be none other than our little Frank. Space forbids giving a brief resume of Frank Butterworth's misdeeds which won him the dubious honor of his title, for even that would require at least a full page! And here we are at the end of our column, so we must sign off with an Hasta Luego, Au Revoir and Cheerio. AUTOGRAPHS

THE SKETCH SS Martin Boots Glee Club Any pupil in the 9A or 9B is eligible to try out for Glee Club. Some- times pupils of the eighth grade have been taken in if there was a short- age in some part and if the eighth grader had an exceptionally good voice. The members are given class voice instructions. Correct breathing, good posture, vowel formation, and enunciation are stressed. Some appreciation work is given by listening to such song artists as Lawrence Tibbet, Nelson Eddy, Miliza Korjus, Deana Durban, and others. During time when the club is not working on a special program the students are allowed one day a week, generally Friday, when they them- selves take charge. They have programs, play victrola records of their own choosing, or if there is any business to come before the organization they use this time. The programs are arranged by committees which are ap- pointed by the president. Officers are elected each term. In the fall Billy Coffman was elected president and Baillie Bundy won the spring election. At Christmas the Glee Club had a Pot Luck supper and party They used money for this from a hot-dog and home-made candy sale. During the year the Glee Club has given several performances to our student body and to the public. First of these was the Amerizanization pro- gram given to our students. Second, the same program given at the Murat Theatre, Indianapolis, to the Indiana Jr. High School Teachers and Officials. Third they sang Christmas Carols in our halls at Christmas time. Fourth they sang Christmas Carols on the Christmas Street Car. Fifth, a program of sacred music was given to the parent-teacher association. Sixth, an Easter program was given to our Martin Boots students . The Glee Club robes are royal blue with gold stoles, which are our school colors. Something New Started in the Music Department This semester there have been two selected groups of music students started. One is a boys choir composed of about twenty boys from the seventh and eighth grades. The other is a girls' class composed of girls from the 8B and 8A. The boys' group meets the Hrst period on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The girls' group meets the seventh period every other day. Each group is given class voice training. The boys' group assisted the Glee Club on one song for the Easter Program. The girls' group have been singing solos in class one day a week with constructive criticism from the class and teacher.
