THE LAUREL Glee Club The Glee Club, as in previous years, has provided entertainment for many school activities. During the Christ- mas assembly it arranged an inspiring program of carols. Although the club has not been able to participate as a group at outside functions, individual members have given generously of their time to entertain. Some of the girls have performed for U. S. O. gatherings at Camps on Cape Codg again when Memorial had its Servicemerfs Dance a few girls sang solos. In the early fall, the Glee Club sang for the nurses and graduates at the New England hospital. The girls are rehearsing for pro- grams to be presented in conjunction with other high schools, and they are also making plans for a Victory Concert and a city-wide contest to be held at Jordan Hall. Under the excellent direction of Mr. Famigliette, who has been an under- standing conductor for three years, the Glee Club has been able to achieve suc- cess in Memorial and to apply his instruc- tion for the entertainment of public bene- Hts. l20l
