5122 67146 Soon after school started Miss Doak called a meeting of all girls interested in music. Twenty freshmen, sixteen sophomores, eleven juniors, and eight seniors re- sponded. The meeting was held in the Music Room. For the first time arrangements had been made to hold Glee Club during school hours. Miss Doak left us in November and was married to Lieutenant William Turner. She returned after the Christmas vacation. The Glee Club sang at a meeting of the Woman's Club February fifteenth and at the Greene County Teachers' Institute March first. As the Railroader goes to press, plans for a spring festival to be held in April are being discussed. The Board of Education has purchased new chairs for the Music Room and a hun- dred dollars worth of new music. The members of the Glee Club wish to thank the Board of Education for their in- terest and generosity. We also wish to thank Mrs. Turner for her untiring patience and effort. GIRLS' ENSEMBLE The Girls' Ensemble was chosen soon after Glee Club practice began. Mrs. Turner selected the following girls: Shirley Plahn, Joan Forester, Enid Fitch, Marilyn Harp, Sue Mitchell, Suzanne Worcester, Mercedes Wyatt, Mary Mae Wilkerson and Shir- ley Rimbey. Shirley Rimbey was replaced at the beginning of the second semester by Patricia Wise and later in the semester Suzanne Worcester was replaced by Muriel Dean. This group appeared on the Woman's Club programs several times during the year and sang at the Greene County Teachers' Institute on March the first. First row. left to right: I. Fox. S.
