THE PACEMAKER 23 MUSIC DEPARTMENT HE Glee Club is composed of fifty-four high school students under the direction of Miss Goth. At the beginning of the year officers were elected. Virginia Carlson was chosen presidentg Lois Scheller, librar- iang and Ella Laird, treasurer. The girls worked out some numbers which they gave in assembly. Their social life consisted of a Hallowe'en party which every one enjoyed. The Glee Club prepared two numbers to give at the Music Festival in Fredonia, April 25. They were, Lo, A Voice to Heaven Sounding by Bartniansky, and The Nightingale by Frederich Von Flotow. A group of 30 musicians from the grades and high school met each week for student and band instruction under the direction of Albert DeGroat. At the 'beginning of the year the following were appointed officers of the band: Student Director, Elizabeth Litchfieldg secretary, Phyllis Cookg librarians, Elaine Smathers and Amelia Kiesewetter. Mr. De Groat was in Mayville only one day a week this year and there was not the time to de- velop a band suitable for giving concerts. Therefore, he spent the time building a foundation for a bigger and better band next year. But in spite of their inexperience as band players, every member enjoyed the time spent Thursday on music lessons. With the excellent foundation built this year and with continued student enthusiasm, we are looking forward to a first-class band in the future. A Junior Glee Club was successfully organized this year. It consists of thirty-four pupils selected from the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. As a result of two nights' practice every week they have become quite profi- cient at three-part singing. We hope that they may continue their splendid progress. The orchestra was organized this year for the sole purpose of playing for enjoyment. The members have played for several entertainments and have been judged by the people to be one of the best Mayville School or- chestras in many years. A selected group from the High School Chorus, consisting of Katherine Bloomer, Phyllis Cook, Virginia Kerr, June Meade, Virginia Carlson, Mary McConnell, Lois Scheller, Ruth Stanford, Francis Brumagim, Donald Carl- son, Ronald Morton, Walter Sargent, Paul Barrett, George Matthews, Robert Mount and Sam Sixbey sang two numbers for Decoration Day.
