MUSIC CLUB HISTORY In the fall of 1939, a group of ambitious people, numbering approximately forty-five, congregated on the stage of good old M. H. S. to form a Music Club with Mr. McClure as our supervisor. First we elected officers as follows: President, Harriet Lou Krugh; Vice-President, Johnny Maurer; Secretary, Ruth Ann Dutton: Treasurer, Lois Coffman; Reporter, Joyce Severns; and Sergeant-At-Arms, Johnny Protsman. During the year, we sold pop at the ball games making a small profit. We had the initiation early in December and a skating party was held on March 1. Our programs have been very worth-while. The music talent of the club has performed for us. We are looking forward to the club another year as it gave us many enjoyable moments.

METIER for 1940 Page 28 Glee Club The Glee Club consisting of twenty-six girls was organized at the beginning of the school term under the supervision of Mr. McClure. The appearances of the club this year were on school assembly programs, at the Farmers’ Institute, and for Commencement exercises. They also sang in the County Music Festival, which was held at Celina Public High School on February 20th. I’m sure each girl has enjoyed this club, and that it has proved to be beneficial to her.
