There were two groups that actually composed the Glee Club. They were the girlS glee club7 that met on Wednesday after school, and the mixed group, that met on Friday. Under the direction of hits. Shoenberger, the group accom- plished many things in the music held this year. The First program to be given by the Glee Club was a program of Christmas music which was given for the P. T. At and then repeated for :1 combined assembly of Junior and Senior High School Students. Our biggest accomplishment was the NIinstrel. Rehearsals began in February. There were try-outs for 50105, triost and other special groups. Then of course there were others Who were not in the Glee Club, who wished to sing with the chorus, This made our chorus even larger than was expected, and in all there were seventy members to sing the songs in the show, besides many who sang solos and other special acts. The last week before the hIinstrel was one jumble of rehearsals, costumes, special practices of soloists and Others. Then on Friday, hhrch 16, the big event of the year arrived, and the Alinstrel was presented by the entire group. There was one performance Flt 9:30 At NI. and another at 8:00 P. :M. According to those pres- ent, the A-Iinstrel was a great success. The last two performances of the year were at Commencement and Baccalaureate Service, The graduation of the Seniors meant that many voices were out of the Glee Club, but with another group coming in, the group might become even larger next year and in the future.
