MUSIC DEPARTMENT On December 1, the schedule was changed and arranged so that time was made available for some high school music. Mr. Dolby called the groups together and they sang Christmas songs just for fun until after the Christmas vacation. Then the groups were reorganized and individual voice tests were made to divide the groups for three-part singing. At first some were very shy about singing by themselves, and only after a few brave ones took their tests and found them not difficult did the rest of the members submit to the tests. The girls were divided into first soprano, second soprano, and alto, and the boys into first tenor, second tenor, baritone and bass. The freshman and sophomore group had separate classes for girls and boys twice each week. The junior and senior girls had their class during the boys physical education period so the boys could not join the class. They met twice each week. The big project for the year was to learn music for the County Music Festival to be held at Geneva on April Z. This was to be a program by all the high schools in the county. Each school was allotted about 5 minutes to furnish some music by their school alone and then the combined music departments of the county ftotaling about 250 membersj were to sing six songs. All the girls glee clubs were to be united to sing Beautiful Dreamer, Foster, and Mistress Margarita -Penn. The combined boys glee clubs' numbers were Stouthearted Men and Desert Song both by Romberg. The entire group was to sing On the Road to Mandalay -Speaks, and Thanks be to God -Dickson. Mr. Varner Chance, Supervisor of Instrumental Music in the Fort Wayne Schools, was engaged to direct the combined groups in the six numbers mentioned This seemed to be a big order with only three months to go. But everyone got right down to work and learned the music even though three-part singing was new to most of the students. Besides this music festival, concerts were planned for the glee clubs in the spring at the local churches. Also the music departnqent furnished music for the Farmers Institute, P. T. A. meetings Senior Play, Junior Play, Baccalaureate, and Commencement. Special groups were chosen out of the glee clubs. These included a double trio, several trios, a boys' quartet, a mixed quartet, and several solos.
