The boys' Glee Club of approximately sixty members is divided into two groups, the fresh- man glee club and the advanced glee club. Each club meets once a week. In addition to learn- ing songs in four part harmony to be used on their various programs, music reading and no- tation is also studied. This is part of the training necessary for any good choir singer and is invaluable to the members of the club when they become members of the various church choirs of the city. Many present and former members are now active in church and civic choral organizations of Martinsburg. This year the boys' glee clubs presented an assembly program composed of patriotic, col- Boys' Glee Club lege, and folk songs. As is customary they also had a part in the commencement activities of the school. Paul Willis, Jay Flagg, John Livers, Martin Miller, Harry Adams, Clifford Honsaker, and Donald Clark represented Martinsburg High School at the All-State Chorus this year in Charleston. Together with the representative members of the girls' glee club they received a rating of Very Good in the tryouts before the auditions committee. This is the third con- secutive year Martinsburg High has received this rating. At the close of the school the annual picnic and outing of all the music organizations of the school was enjoyed by all.
