HE CflRLSl GLEE CLUB was organized in 1917 and consisted of six- teen members with Madeline Burgess as the capable accompanist. The Reaper, in passing, took one of its fairest flowers, Dorothy New- berry. Dorothy was loved by all who knew her and teachers and pupils were saddened by her untimely death. Her memory is fresh in the hearts of her associates. The following year, 1918-19, the membership numbered forty-five. The concert at the end of the year was pronounced by the Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Austin, as an exceptionally good performance. Gheratin Wlllll was the accompanist for the year. ln 1920 the club counted eighty members and although having only one period for practice a concert was given in November during the Teachersi Institute and one again at the end of the year. The club was fortunate in having as accompanist talented Lois Gornall. The 1920-21 club numbered sixty-five and because of the advantages of having two periods a week for practice the girls have committed the entire program of twelve songs given at the April concert. Barbara. Edmunds has proven a capable accompanist. It has been the aim of the director. Mrs. Forshaw, to make the Glee Club helpful to as many as wish to enter, therefore anyone who can sing is eligible to membership. Only the best song literature is studied and it is a satisfac- tion to find -that preference is given for the very best. ' The club is called upon to sing for school and community functions and has responded cheerfully. Several girls who have graduated and have entered college have been chosen as members of their college Glee Clubs. Margaret Phelps, class of 1919, and Vashti Hoskins, 1920, are both members of the University of Oregon Glee Club. Helen Koch and Effie Hicks, of the class of 1920, are members of the Vlfhitman College Girls' Glee Club. Lois Gornall now has a scholarship at the American Conservatory at Chicago where her great talent is being developed. i l55l

The club consists of thirty-five picked students from the high school, and represents voices from deep bass to soprano. i The club is very fortunate in securing so competent an instructor, for Mr. Olson is a talented vocal musician, and instructed in the best schools of this country and Europe, has given the boys the benefit of l1is exceptional training. Miss-Roselle served this year and last year as faculty adviser and accompanist, and her musical ability has greatly facilitated the work of the club. The first part of the year was spent in drilling the boys in the funda- mentals of voice culture and singing, and it was late in the year before songs were undertaken. - - The club appeared April 23 together with the Girls' Glee Club and the orchestra. The public, who had never before had an opportunity to hear the club, felt that the Work of this organization as exhibited in this program was a real contribution to the activities of the school. The Boys' Glee Club was excellent in its first public appearance. This is the first year for a boys' club in the school and too much credit can not be given Mr. Olson for his work. VVith this year's work as preparation much is expected of the club next year. l57l
