The Clee Clubs Crow in ize and mbitions My golly! I don't think Marion Marlowe could hit some of those notes, was the whispered comment heard at the first glee club practice. In a few weeks' time, after numerous drills and exercises, the vocal cords of one hundred twenty students were in condition, and work on special selections began. The Girls' Glee Club, open to any high school girl, had eighty-four members. Thirty-six boys enrolled in the Boys' Glee Club. Both organizations were active throughout the year. The most active choral group, the Choir, with thirty girls -and thirty boys, was selected from the glee clubsg and their officers were jim Salts- giver, presidentg Ruth Berkebile, vice-presidentg June Denton, secretaryg and Deverl Hill, treasurer. December was the choral groups' busiest month. On December 9 the Choir presented the first choral pro- gram of the year at the Kiwanis Club luncheon. The Girls' Glee Club presented a Christmas program at the Christian Church for the Women's Clubs. Decem- ber l8 the Choir and glee clubs gave their annual Christmas Concert at the gym. The girls in formals and the boys in suits, singing traditional Christmas carols and hymns, presented a very impressive program. The Choir also sang in the Christmas assembly program. Never tiring, the Choir then began practice for the Rochester-North Judson band and choral concert, given in Whitmer Gym on March 9 by the combined bands and choirs of the two schools. The band and choir members entertained the North Judson students in their homes for dinner and held a dance in the gym after the concert. The Spring Concert featured the Choir and glee clubs at their best, singing spirituals and special numbers. On May 20 the Choir presented the last choral program at Baccalaureate in the Methodist Church, This year the choral groups started a fund to buy robes. They held a dance in the gym, took up collections at their concerts, and sold candy bars. Mr. Molter and the students are looking forward to an even fuller schedule next year. Mr. Molter direus as the Choir sings seasonal selections at their Christmas Concert. This was the first of the choral departments three public concerts. CPage Twenty-Tu'0D
