From the precincts of room 110 come the sounds of students practicing perhaps the most versatile of musi- cal instruments, the human Voice. At various times in the course of a day Overlezfs four vocal music groups practice under the direction of Mr. W31'1'6I1 Glock. His high standards for performance taught students the art of music. Wheri the Boys, Glee Club was in rehearsal, the strains of the HCEll1IlC3Ill,S Egiturw, a student university song, rang out with the power that only male voices could project. Later the strains of Mozart and Bach indicated that the A Cappella Choir, the pride of the department, was again trying for the perfection and skill needed to perform the intricate and demanding measures. Then in the afternoon, music from the light classics and folk songs were chafacteristic of the Girls, Choir. Still later, the sound of popular hallads told that the Girls, Clee Cluh was in session. Each of the groups has proved itself worthy of repre- senting Overlea in the community.
