BUYS' GLEE CLUB ENTllVlENTAl. ballads, lilting folk songs. roisterous songs of the sea, ultra-modern tone poems, sonorous anthems-all of these are included in the repertoire of the Boys' C-lee Club. Composed of over fifty voices. the Boys' Cilee Club is a very popular organization among the musically inclined of Senior High School. Each year voices are studied very care- fully before a final selection is made. The selection is made from the standpoint of the blend and quality of the voices, thus all critics agree that the Cilee Club is one of the best. The Boys' C-lee Club is combined with the Girls' Cxlee Club to form an a cappella mixed chorus. The peak of Senior High Schools singing year is in May when the glee clubs go to the state contest in Columbia. lVluch extra practicing is done when contest time is near. This year the glee clubs have given several public programs. They have sung for the junior high schools, the colleges in the city, and Greenwood High School. They were in the city-wide carolling at Christmas time and they appeared with the high school orchestra in a concert sponsored by the Civic Music Association. At this concert they sang the diffi- cult tone poem, Ulrinlandiaf' ln these functions and many others the glee clubs have proved to be a necessary part of high school life. They not only give pleasure to the many hundreds of students who are not in them, but they also give much pleasure to the members themselves. The formal assemblies would lose much of their dignity and beauty without the par- ticipation of the glee clubs. lVlr.

YIVIMETRICAL rows of blue and white dresses, over fifty smiling faces, a seemingly unending energy and beautiful voices to match the rest-these things are only a part ot the qualities that make up the Girls' Glee Club. The Clee Club has been very busy throughout the year. Its trip to the state contest at Columbia was paid for entirely by the girls themselves. They earned money by doughnut sales and candy sales. They conducted one candy sale in the business districts of Springfield and the other in the school, and in their successful salesmanship they gained no little notice as business women. They were received with enthusiasm from all who heard them. In Senior High School itself, the glee clubs were outstanding in their participation in the organization stunt night. They present- ed a clever skit, The Umbrella Man. IVIiss Dorothy Rathbone, who is the sponsor of the Girls' Glee Club and the mixed chorus, has proved to be an excellent instructor during her three years at Senior I-Iigh School. She has coached the choruses until they have become as well known as many adult choirs and choruses. The Glee Club was very active throughout the entire year giving programs for different organizations. The smiles with which they color their voices add to the charm that captures an audience from the moment they start singing. The Girls' Cllee Club has been rated as the best in the state. Each year both the Boys' and Girls' Cmlee Clubs contribute very nicely to the quartets, trios, and double quartets. The participants this year for the various voice combinations from the Girls' Glee Club were Marjorie Wellock, Isabelle IVIcCIung, .Ioan Shriver, Margaret Johnson, Paula Oaks, and Noreene Baker. The Boys' Glee Club was represented by Bill Russell, Charles Grosskreutz, Gerald Latham, Jimmie Jameson, and Paul White. 117
