GIRLS GLEE CLUB There were two Kiris' glee clubs in O. H. S. In 1938-39. This first was for experienced or out- standing: voices: tlu second for training:. Only the first glee club sang: at programs and contests, but the girls in the? second group are the hope of the future. The first group met three times weekly: the other, twice. Long blue robes with white collars were worn at nil performances by the group. The girls wore often invited to sing at various churches, as well as at school programs. For many years the O. H. S. Glee Club has been outstanding at contests, and because of the good work, the group has taken several nice trips. Front row left to right—Hetty Jnrolwon. Mary Lou Wollen.

Superior rating is the established mark of the organisation. Both boys and girls participated, and there were four voices, namely, soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. The group sang various types ol music at different places. The churches sometimes invited the mixed chorus to sing at services. At programs the girls wore their glee club robes and the boys wore dark suits. Twonty-Niiv
