C penny serenoclers . f- fff i gg mmwwf ,A ,, ,M With a gay song in their hearts and even gayer tunes on their lips, these junior high songbirds display amazing melodious talent under the guiding hand and voice of Miss Ruth Clark. The 96 nightingales, 69 girls and 27 boys, chirp their do-re-me's to the accompan- iment of Eleanor Lindstrom's ivory tickling. Last year the baby prima donnas practiced after school in study hall. This year the groups meet separately lvlonday, Wednesday and Friday, and Tuesday and Thursday after- noon in the new music room. In November the girls effectively warble their way into the good graces of the student body and present a second curtain call per- , .s formance March 4. During the Yuletide season The Big Brown Bear, john Peel and Lullaby are put aside for beloved Christmas carols. Both sen- ior and junior high students neglect school books and lessons to listen to the soft and dulcet tones when the clubs tour the halls caroling peace and goodwill, At several PTA meetings parents and teach- ers hear special arrangements of super special tunes when the Girls' glee club appears in black skirts and white blouses. As the main event of the season, they add that extra touch to the annual Spring Concert. . C if C, ' jg :,, SQ A I , , ,T 5' . Q 3, H i t kg rw , - .- .- . 4 , ., J A ,JSF I .-'i Q A. 1 ,X Q fi -
