The main project of the club for the year was preparing for its performance of the annual Spring Concert which was held in May. The fourth Christmas Candlelight Service of Worship presented by the P. H. S. music department with W. S. Sample Jr., director, was presented in the Memorial Junior high school auditorium, Sunday afternoon, De- cember 18, 1938 at 3 P. M. The combination of the high school orchestra, the girls' glee club, and a religious play, meant that the P. H. S. music de- partment had again presented an impressive Christmas program. The dramatic feature was the play Why The Chimes Rang which dramatized the divine beauty of charity. f Sixty
