P. H. S. Girls' Glee Club MONO the musical organizations in Piqua High School, is the Girls' Glee Club, composed of fourteen members besides a director and pianist. The first idea of a Glee Club for the girls originated after a similar organization had been formed by the boys. It was thought that if the boys could have such a club, the girls could do likewise, so a meeting was called for all who were interested in the work. A great many of the girls responded, and an election of officers was held, but owing to some misunderstanding the organization was not perfected, and it seemed for a time that there would not be a Girls' Glee Club. However, the enthusiasm of the girls had been aroused and they could not think of giving up their plang so after a consultation with the faculty another meeting for organization was called. A constitution was adopted, officers elected, and then a short rehearsal was held. Mr. Waterman, the Manual Training teacher, is the director while Miss Butterfield, the English teacher, is pianist. Marion Miles '12 was elected president, Frances Graef, '12 vice president: and Emma Buchanan, '11, secretary and treasurer. We made our first public appearance Friday afternoon, March thirty- Hrst, before the members of the faculty, students and visitors to the school. Our next appearance was Saturday afternoon, April twenty-ninth, when we sang for a meeting of the girls at the Tabernacle. We Seniors hope that the club will be a permanent organization in the school, and wish it success in its future work. THE MEMBERS OF THE CLUB. FIRST SOPRANO MARION MILES ...... . ....
