The scene of Oh Doctor was laid at the Drinkwater Station, a most fascinating health resort Love, laughter, and mystery prevailed throughout the entire production. Characteristic scenery lent a charming touch to the atmosphere and provided a most effective background. The advertising was ably taken care of by a self-appointed committee. Much credit is due the other members of the Glee Club who also v orked hard to make the operetta a success. Twenty-seven

Under the direction of Miss Osterberg and Mr. Martinson, the group was able to interpret both difficult music, requiring technical skill, and lyric music. The High School Chorus is composed of the Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Glee Club. The Chorus put on an oratorio, “The Holy City, by Gaul, and an operetta, Oh, Doctor! Both of these productions were successful. Ten members of the Glee Club comprise the “Madrigal Singers, who have attained considerable success, appearing on the radio several times and singing at various other places. We hope that the Glee Club may keep, for many years, the success it has attained. T unruly-six
