THE GUSHER GLEE CLUBS The glee clubs under the able direction of Miss Agnew and Miss Slind are of the most popular organizations of the lligh School. Their success has been outstanding tlns year and we are proud of their efforts and results. Particular emphasis of favorable comment has been on their splendid tone quality, clear 8llt1llCl2:lIlOll, finished attacks and releases and their ability to follow the baton to the most delicate shading. The songs which the glee clubs have studied have been chosen from standard selec- tions and the interpretations have been decidedly artistic. The girls glee club numbers about one hundred ten members. Une special feature of outstanding merit this year is their ability to sing many songs a cappella. The boys glee club has a membership of seventy-nine. They meet twice a week during the acivlty period. Tlns period being so short thc boys do not have as large a reperative as the girls, The girls clubs do more fnished work but the boys are decidedly popular and we wish we might hear them more otten. The quartettes, octcttes and sextettes are chosen from the membership of the glee clubs. These small groups are called upon many times to sing Ill concert and for the various organizations of the city where they have been most enthusiastically received and applauded. These groups are under the direction of Miss Grace Shnd who comes to us tor the tlrst tune tlns year and deserves much credit for the untlrmg efforts. Miss Slind and Miss Nellie Phelps have charge of the classes in Music Appreciation, XTIISIC Illstory and llarmony. Bliss Slind and Miss Cora Schulze are the accompanists for all choral organizations. lfrom our glee clubs three were chosen for the National lligh School chorus which sang in concert in Chlcago, March 28th, under the direction of Dr. Dann of New Xork l'niversity. The three students chosen to go, were, Betty llorstman, Anna Marie hray. and Robert VVilliams. They all report a wonderful tune. VYe know it was a decided honor for tlasper to have so many chosen from our city and speaks well for our music instruction. The music department is one of the most popular departments in school and we wish every member of the lligh School could have a share ln its splendid work. 1 9 0 Twenty-foul
