SIE lllusic plays a vital part in our world at G.I-I.S.g from symphonies to boogie-woogie it enriches our lives and provides unlimited oppor- tunities for those taking -part in our school. There is a place for everyone interested in music. The main musical organizations are the Orchestra and the Treble Clef. Girls with years of training and those with only a few, learn to interpret good music by practicing with the Orchestra. Under lVIiss Dorothy lVeir, this group works together and each member de- velops a spirit of cooperation and kinship never experienced in working alone. A beginner may borrow a school instrument, take lessons right here in G.H.S. and become a part of the Orchestra. Besides the benefits it affords the individual, our Orchestra contributes to our assemblies, Christmas Cantata, Graduation, and other occasions. Our Band, though less conspicuous, is our pride and joy at gym contest time. It gives the pep and zip needed to make our contest one of the highlights of the school year.

Clef and the Glee Club, led by Miss Marguerite Goll. The Glee Club makes it possible for any- one in the school to sing in a group, whether she wants to exercise her vocal cords or aspires to an opera career. From these girls and from the vocal ensemble classes, the most proficient are chosen to sing in Treble Clef. Once a part of this organization, the members work hard, often coming early three or four days a week. Treble Clef is called upon to entertain on many occasions outside the school as the girls have a reputation for choral work, known all over the city. Each spring, girls are chosen to sing and play in the All Senior High Festival Chorus and Orchestra. These groups are made up of pupils from all over the city. We're proud to say that Girls High is always well represented. All these opportunities in the field of music are possible, not only because we have a fine school, but because of the untiring efforts of our two leaders. Their patience and guidance have led us through this year to a successful and happy conclusion. . i i it ILM 1 39 .4 3 f I it I ' -v A n l' L it Q Ng, ' ln XL D II x I ' 0 f i ! I ff. ., t e ' , le.
