GLEE CLUB NTHUSIASM and interest marked the organizing of the Girls' Glee Club in November, 1925, with Frank Thornton Smith as vocal director. lt was planned that the club should meet every Wednesday at adviser e'Yi1iff?P ij' period in order to practice. Fifty-one girls had signed up for glee by November l8, and at least nfty more were anticipated and wanted. Anyone was welcome to join the organ- ization, and the girls were to have their own president and other oflicers. Both instructor and students worked with the ideal that this organization may de- velop into a full, competent Glee Club, so that Stockton High School may have her representation in music as well as in other arts and activities. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE At the first meeting of the Executive Committee, on September 9, 1925, all members were present. These were: Clarence Bush, chairman: Ansel Wil- liams, secretary: Virgil Belew, long-term editor: Jean Williams, short-term editor: Ted Clarke and Bernice Ingersoll, senior representatives: George Dohr- mann, sophomore representative: Clara Catherine Hudson, first vice-president of the student body: Mervin Garibotto, second vice-president: and Mr. Lau- rance N. Pease, faculty advisor. lt was through this committee that the mid-year graduating class was able to publish the mid-year annual. Without the backing of the Executive Com: mittee it would have been impossible to have published this book. It was also by the aid of this committee that Tacky Day was made a success. By these activities and many more this committee has shown itself to be an eflicient and energetic body. I Mgr' .xvlllfff rn
