Music Appreciation THE GIRLS' CHORUS The Girls' Glee Club, or a small ensemble, is always prepared to meet an unexpected need for musical entertainment. Members sing semi-monthly fcr assemblies, for church activities, for fraternal organizations, at the annual Spring Concert in May, and also at the Commencement exercises in june. Music is a world-wide subject, and one of its chief values is that it is one of the greatest forces in bringing people together. Music also adapts itself to any period, class, or country. Thus, the mem- bers of the Girls' Glee Club, through singing the songs of all countries, become appreciative of peoples abroad.

The club has sung for the Thanksgiving and the Christmas programs and for the Spring Concert. The club prepares the junior High students for the musical organizations they may be interested in joining when they enter Senior High school. Examples of such groups are the Girls' chorus, the A Cappella choir, and the Boys' chorus. By joining and working in the junior High Glee Club, the students derive thereby a conception of what is expected from them when later they may be singing with large groups.
