Among these values is the elevation of cultural standards in our society through the appreciation of music, vocal and instrumental. At Soldan, the Senior Girls' Glee, under the direction of Mr. Charles H. Gladney, has been successful in its effort to produce good music for many occasions. The girls have performed in our auditorium sessions and in the city-Wide music festival presented at the Kiel Auditorium in the Spring semester of 1960. After climbing the musical ladder for many semesters these girls admit that music is fun but hard Work. The forty-five minute rehearsal each day seems very short because much time and effort must be put into the rendition of each piece of music in order to promote an effective organization. Senior Girls' Glee is sometimes referred to as the Senior Chaminade, after Madam Chaminade, Who was the first Woman to be recognized in the musical field. lt has been passed down from year to year and is con- sidered an important name to the students in Lib1'CIfiO11S .....f..f....,............

Gladney, many Soldan students are both delighted and stimulated, for in room 300 you will find six of the most pleasant and uplifting musical groups any- Where. The peak performers in this Music Family are in the A Cappella Choir. Before he can become a member of Choir, however, there are several other music groups through which the student must pass. In these groups he must learn the fundamentals of music, note reading, and allow his voice to mature prop- erly for Choir. The entire school was entertained on var- ious occasions by these songbirds: Christ- mas Carolina is traditional: the senior class was honored by their skill on Class Day and Graduation. In the Spring term the choir sang for the City-Wide Music Festival. OFFICERS FALL TERM President ,................. ,..,.........

There is probably no country on the globe where the rudiments of music are so widely diffused among the masses as in America. Since the dawn of our history Americans have sung of their experiences, their troubles, and their aspirations. The music has been used to express joy, sorrow, hope, and despair. The effort to bring out the richness and seriousness of music is a tendency prevalant in the songs of our lr. Girls' Glee Club. This tradition has been passed down year by year and, as stated by Frederick Goldbeck, Music, more than any other art, was born under the law of tradition. Under the direction of Mr. Gladney the lr. Girls' Glee has succeeded in continuing this tradition. During the past years the music groups have availed themselves of the songs of Sol- dan as a foundation for many of their elabo- rate works in outside performances. The lr. Girls' Glee has also performed in our audi- torium on many occasions. When this stage is reached, the girls have learned the funda- mentals and techniques of music. Although the next step from Ir. Girls' Glee is normally Sr. Girls' Glee, some may go directly to A Cappella Choir if they have ad- vanced sufficiently in lr. Glee. These students are often those who have considerable interest in music and an outside knowledge of it. Although the A Cappella Choir and the lr. Girls' Glee both have in and color in although not Choir, works are different in many ways, they common the association of tone each piece of music. The club, as effective as the A Cappella very hard toward perfection.
