MlSS EWING The most dependable girls of the school belong to Alpha Glee Club. The girlsi love of music brings them out in rain, sleet, and snow, so that they can practice on Tuesday mornings. The foundation for Alpha has been pre- pared in Zeta Glee Club In this organization all of the following habits are established: good posture, correct mouth position, balance of parts, ability to carry the part, ability to read music from c: printed page, tone prac- tice by sections, harmony construction by groups, and following the conductor. When these qualifications are obtained, the girls are ready for Alpha. They can han- dle more difficult parts because of their prep- aration. Not only the experience of singing in large groups is attained, but small en- sembles are developed which make the in- dividual more independent. The officers of Alpha are elected every spring and hold their office for one year. Accom p0 nists They are chosen because they are willing to work, interested in the success of the club, possess executive ability, cooperation, and leadership. The music director, Miss Pearl Ewing, keeps up on the latest publications of music offered by the publishing houses. She examines the music very carefully as to range and suit- ability to all the clubs. This is very important to every choral conductor. Miss Ewing has studied under the following conductors and composers: Wilhousky of New York, Noble Cain of Michigan and Chicago University, Dr. Christiansen of Minneapolis, Miss Mable Glenn of Kansas City, Fred Waring and Staff, and Dr. Hollis Dunn of Cornell University. A prized possession of the Glee Clubs is the new spinet piano which they received this year. Alpha often sings for school assemblies, P. T. A. sections, other schools, and various community activities. This year they sang for the Christmas program. The songs were 0 Holy Night by Adams and The Sleigh by Countzt For the Baccalaureate service they song, The Voice in the Wilderness by Scott and Hark, Hark My Soul by Shelley. The big event of the year was the long awaited Spring Concert. Page Twenty-nine

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.
