GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club practiced diligently all year, with the result that this year’s club is one of the best the school has produced. Due to lack of funds, the music department was unable to enter any contests. However, most of the Girls’ Glee Club participated in the Spring Music Festival at Hoopeston May 19. This festival was celebrated in this county for the first time last year and was so popular that it may become an annual event. The Girls’ Glee Club sang the following numbers: “Oh, Didn’t It Rain’’............................Burleigh “A Snow Legend”....................................Clokey “Go Down, Moses”.................................Burleigh “Hymn to Night”....................................Gordon Rage Twenty two
