Chase GLEE CLUB REPORT Our first glee club session com- menced with an unusually large en- rollment of 112, but was diminished to a more comfortable group of 70 after our first concert and social. This proved to be a great successg we cleared nearly 32000. At Christmas a Candle Light service was conducted. The club has also sung as a group at two church ser- vices. A supper under the direction of Mrs. Atherton with musicals, skits, dances, etc. netted us a goodly sum. n The glee club now plans to sing at the graduation exercises. Notable progress has been made by the club as a whole this year. We owe a great deal to our faithful leader, Mrs. Atherton. A.
