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 .

Publicity Manager FLORENCE B. CHAMBERS . . . . . Faculty Advisor The Speakers Union was organized by the members of the Fourth Year Industrial Arts graduating class. It was correlated with their English class and was continued through the year as an extra-curricular activity. Through the efforts of Mrs. Chambers and the members, the club gained in strength and received many favorable comments from the faculty and from the townspeople who had the opportunity to hear any of the dis- cussions presented by the organization. During the months of activity a great variety ol topics were discussed in private meetings. ln addition to this a series of discussions were held at the request ol several prominent organizations in Oswego. Some of the topics discussed were: The Townsend Plan, The Proper Approach to World Peace, Should the Power of the Supreme Court be Curtailed, and Should the Teacher Play and Active Part in Moulding the News Social Order. The last ol these was presented as an assembly program. The discussion which followed the presentation of the panel was lengthy. It was encouraging to the members and was appreciated as an expression of the interest shown by the audience of students and faculty. First Row: E. Dexter, S. McCann. Second Row: J. Larson, J.
