Director This year there has been one of the finest Men's Glee Clubs in the history of the school. Under the direction of Mr. Lorin F. Wheelwright, new head of the music de- partment, this organization has improved until it now takes its place among the better musical organizations in the colleges of the state. ln addition to the regular chorus of forty-eight voices, a male quartet, a clarinet sextet, and a marimba soloist, persons who are regular members of the Glee Club, performed at most of the engagements. These extra attractions, included in the program for the first time this year, were well received wherever the group sang, and they helped to insure the maintenance of the high music standards of Oswego. At the Christmas Pagent held in the school auditorium, the male chorus surprised the audience with their fine performance. It was generally felt that the beautiful back- ground furnished by the chorus was essential to the proper interpretation of the play. ln doing their share so nobly the Glee Club only gave an early indication of the heights they were able to reach later in the year. Since the latter part of March, the club has given weekly performances to school groups in different parts of the Oswego area. They have also made several local appear- ances. ln all of their performances they have succeeded in winning for themselves the alcclaimbof their audience and have secured guaranteed engagements for next year for t e c u .
