Their Sweet Rhapsody Fills The Air The Girls' Glee Club of Ogallala High is one of the most consistent high-ranking organizations in the school. Under the direction of Mr. Paul Roe this organiza- tion earned a superior rating at the S. P. V. A. contest singing the two num- bers On the Steppe and Children of the Moon . A similar rating was earned at the District contest. Resonance and the ability to blend in each of the sections and with the entire group are the outstanding features of this group. Rehearsals were held every Tues- day. Thursday, and Friday afternoons. In addition to singing in Girls’ Glee Club, girls may be selected to sing in smaller groups. Girls' Sextette. Octette, and solos offer those who are particularly skilled and interested in this type of vocal music an opportunity to work in the smaller groups.

Their Harmony Glides on Wings of Song Members of the Mixed Chorus are those selected from the Girls’ and Boys' Glee Clubs who can best attain accurate pitch and achieve a tone and quality that will harmonize with the entire group of forty-three. This group sings a variety of numbers, which include sacred selections, negro spirituals, and the modern secular type of song. Intensive drill on intonation, tone blend, and balance of parts was given every Tuesday and Friday mornings. From this group was selected the Madrigal group, whose songs were “She Is So Dear” and “Madrigal.” They re- ceived superior rating at the S. P. V. A contest. The two numbers of the Mixed Chorus were “Chillun Come on Home”, a fast moving negro spiritual, and Agnus Dei”, one of the sacred selections.

Senior High Operetta Encore! Encore! And so Paul Harvey, jack Manion, Mary Elizabeth Sibal, Bob Carter, and Bob Harvey take their third curtain call amidst loud applause. jEANIE . . . The setting of the operetta Jeanie was the garden of Judge Rawdon's home in the Southern United States in 1855. The plot centered around Jeanie, who was on this day recalling memories of her sweetheart. Dennis Jackson. She still loved him very much, even though he had been gone for seven years, but was being deftly courted by Rodney Crawley. Den- nis’ treacherous cousin. Rodney planned to have Dennis de- clared dead because of his long absence; he would then receive the inheritance due Dennis according to his great uncle’s will. He also believed that if Jeanie thought Dennis dead her affections would alter toward him. His schemes were foiled, however, when a traveler appeared in the scene and revealed himself as the missing Den- nis Jackson. A happy ending then revealed Dennis and Jeanie together again. 9 CANTATA. . Students with an ear for music, but yet too young to sing in any of the senior groups, were given an opportunity to dis- play their talents in the Junior High Can- tata. given Dec. 22. under the sponsorship of Miss Modlin. The potential young mu- sicians harmonized beautifully in a series of songs. Junior High Cantata 1st row: Mi» Modlin. S. Harney. Z. Jack on. Z. Jackson. !. Stoughton, M. Mecke. D. A. Wordm. G.
