When everyone attends, which never happens, there are one hundred and one members. near- ly half the school. No one can say he hasn't heard of the Glee Club. This year we've done the usual things: a song, or two, at Thanks- givingg Christmas carols to ac- company the Christmas playg a musical, Down in the Valley g and commencement m u s i c . Whenever there is a lull of any kind, we work on a Broadway show tune, or something ap- proaching popular music. But, the musical each year takes up most of our time and we hope it shows. The Madrigal group was larger and stronger this year. We ac- tually sang a few madrigals, so we could keep our erudite name. We participated in a Middle School program and in Alice in Wonderland .
