TREBLE CLEF THE TREBLE CLEF CLUB has been one of the most satisfactory musical organizations in the college. Composed of thirty girls, this club has been working since the opening of school. This is no ordinary group of singers. The girls have been picked from the best in the college. Each member feels that her position is an honorary one. There is also a certain realization of personal responsibility Which has urged every girl to put all the expression and finesse at her command into her work. Attention was first called to the Treble Clef in the Christmas concert. Then the girls were in demand for assembly programs as well as at civic gather- ings, the most notable of the latter being their appearance at the civic auditorium. In the spring concert, given in the Greek theater of the college. the girls received the highest praise for their rendition of the difficult choruses in the Indian cantata, HHiawathaYs Childhoodii 1t was here that the lyric quality of their vocies showed to the best advantage. On the same program were the Geisha and American girl choruses singing excerpts from the comic Opera, ttMiss Cherry BlossomW Treble Clef girls were also flatteringly received in their straight chorus work which included, ttI Know a Lovely Garden, 77 itMorn- ihg,H and HPoor Little Girl With a Turned-Up NoseY, In producing such meritorious results, the Treble Clef Club has set a standard for successive years and it may be sincerely hoped that the personnel of the clubs in the future Will work with the ease and harmony Which this organization has displayed during the terms of 1921 and 1922.
