MISS EWING Young, but mIghty' Thats the way one describes the Zeta Girls Glee Club at Nor- wood High. Zeta is composed of freshmen and sophomores. Their highlight of the year is the Annual Spring Concert, for which they work veryhord every Wednesday afternoon. With the piono accompaniment by Maxine Story and Moridel Uim, they take port in auditorium sessions and also have different parts in community work. If you're in Zeta, you've a lot to look for- word to, future Spring cOncerts, belonging to Alpha or Choir, 05 many of them do it they complete the certain requirements stated by Miss Ewing. Along with having the ability to carry the part, there are, good posture, enunciation, ability to read music from the printed page, being able to follow the dy- namics from the printed page, and being able to follow a director at all times. After they have worked hard and got the necessary experience, they can then secure Accompanists ...................... Zeta Glee Club membership to Alpha. To be in choir you must be Tops because you have to pass all the stated requirements. During the year, Zeta girls work hard on Foundation for choral work, using first so- pranos, second sopranos and cite arrange- ments. They also work very hard on har- monic and melodic construction. Among the songs that they have been practicing lately are To a Wild Rose, by Mchoweii; Night Divine, by Honan, usually referred to as Burcorolie-Toles of Hoffman, arranged by Paul Bliss, a Cin- cinnati composer,- Mighty Loki a Rose, by Nevin; The Gay Ronchero, by Hoppin; The Whistling Girl, a humorous piece by Honey, and Years at the Spring by Noble Cain. Years at the Spring is considered to be one of their special highlight numbers. Theyive been practicing such music as Spanish numbers, English, toik-songs, lul- Ictbies, and ballads. We tip our hats and bow to a grand group of girls who will really go pieces in the fu- ture and we thank Miss Ewing for her tine directing and generous help that she hos given us in helping to make Norwood High Schooi's music groups such blooming succes- ses.
