Thirty-one charter members announced their intentions while plenty of enthus- iasm was displayed during the session. One of the first acts of business 1 encountered was the election of oflicers. Nominations were requested by lgl the chairman and response was given by the members. The capable leader- ship of the officers has made itself felt in the organization. gl The purpose of the Glee Club is to insure unity among the students and il, to enlist their efforts in any enterprise, to make a success of all the under- takings of the high school, to promote the interest in Music and afford the M pleasure for the whole student body in general. One of the most important Eli doings of the year was the presentation of a Musical Comedy which dealt lg with the strange entanglement of foreign royalty and a touch of our Navy ,gl mixed together to form a wonderful setting. The title of the play was f Barbarossa of Barbary? This production was the outstanding success xii of the Glee Club during the year and plans are now being made for its presentation elsewhere. il HUGH COMMARFORD, '27.

VH RI TI-LS The llixaltation of Music t'Music the fercesl grief can charm, And ,fateis severest rage disarm. JVIusic can soften pain to ease, And make despair and madness please: Our joys below it can improve, And antedafe the bliss above. PoPE. T HAS often been remarked, and often felt, that our music is the truest of all comments upon our history. The tone of defiance, succeeded by the languor of despondencyea burst of turbulence dying away into softness-the sorrows of one moment lost in the levity of the next-and all that romantic mixture of mirth and sadness which is naturally produced by the efforts of a lively temperament to shake off or forget the wrongs which lie upon it-such are the features of our history and character, which we find strongly and faithfully reflected in our music. Do not some melo- dies bring back haunting memoriesesome bright and alluring-others sad and morose? What would the philosophers of old, who climbed the heights of the Parthenon, have thought of the America of 1927? All the wonderful ideals of music have taken their proper place in education and in the state! all that has been preached and taught about music is being developed in America, which perhaps excels their fanciful dreams. Our country is alive with the spirit of musicg forceful dreams have materialized. Music study exalts lifef' Do we not think of something almost super- human when we hear of beautiful compositions? Does it not inspire us to higher ambitions and elevate our standards? Do we not love to dream when beautiful melodies drift through the air? The person who loves music has one of the greatest blessings that life can afford. Song is the universal language, it is the interpreter of the spiritual, it is life itself. Everything we hear or feel has music in it. It is an ideal that utters what words cannot express. Music is the instrument by which we come to love nature, it reminds us of the lives of the composers-their characters-some vivacious and brilliant, others sad and melancholy, both equally interesting. We, the class of '27, who are about to depart from Saint Theresa High School, should strive to make our lives like music- true, sweet and sincere. LEAH BERRY, '27. Um- Hundred E Icven

Secretary Tl'0!1SlI1'l'l' Girls' Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club of Saint Theresa's was organized in 1925. It was continued last year with the interest of the entire student body. After the reopening of this school year a great deal of enthusiasm was displayed when the majority of girls in the High School appeared in Room 311 for the pur- pose of electing officers for the Club. Our meetings this year have been held every Thursday afternoon. For the most part they have been taken up with the practicing of the musical comedy which was given in February of this year. The purpose of the Club is to unite the students and instill in them a greater love for music and art. To our musical supervisor, we wish to express our appreciation for her untiring interest in the organization, LEAII BERRY, '27.
