Glee Club When strains of music penetrate the eighth period study hall on Monday and Wednesday af- ternoons, it does not take long to realize that the Glee Club is hard at work. Under Miss Stein- dorff's outstanding direction and Ginu Doepke's capable leadership, the Glee Club has done a laudable job this year. The annual Christmas program was a great success, with many lovely GINU DOEPKE President selections featured in it. After the Christmas holi- days, the group settled down to hard work on Gilbert and Sullivan's M. S. Pinafore . On March 19th, their finished product was presented to a hushed audience. The thundering applause which echoed through the auditorium after the finale showed that the audience had been delighted with the performance. Row I -D. Stassin, J. Teipel, J. Treichel, S.

SALLY KLOPPENBURG C lmirmam The only one who can help do my share is myself resounded through the halls many times this year. Under Sally Kloppenburg's leadership and with the help of Miss Lemon, the Welfare Committee made each drive a prodigious success. In the fall the enthusiastic committee set up the Downer Q Welfare collection, the Community Chest drive, and the Red Cross drive. The teachers did their part in the fall drives by cooperating in Welfare Committee the teacher-maid day. Once again dolls were dressed by the students in a sparkling array of colors and costumes. This year they were sent to the Frontier Nursing Asso- ciation and to local orphanages. Every Downer girl may well be proud of the unselfish interest she has taken in others, and the part she has played in bringing happiness to those less fortunate than she. Row 1 -S. Kloppenburg, R.
