Glees Sing Modern As Well As Classics Harmonizing and creating beautiful sound with voices of feminity and masculine tones, the boys and girls glee clubs sang some intellectual numbers such as selections composed by Fol lett, Shayne and Praetorius. If you walked by the choir room and overheard melodies by Simon and Garfunkel or the Monkees you were right, they were being sung by the glees, also. Director Douglas Pearson added a few of the more popular teen selections for the glee to try. They proved to be very entertaining for the clubs, and added a change to the every day monotony of going over the same old songs.
