GLEE CLUB N view of the fact that there was not variety enough of musical instruments to form' a First-class orchestra such as we have had in past years, attention has been paid this year to the vocal qualities of the girls of the school. A Girls' Glee Club of thirty-one voices was formed early in the school year under the direction of Mr. Clemson. In spite of bad colds and especially stormy weather, the attendance has been good and the girls have entered heartily into the work. A line library of charming part songs, involving great musical ex- pression, is being acquired and practised ron amore. The Club is drawn from each of the four classes, thus insuring con- tinuity and tradition in succeeding years. A concert is now being planned to be given Tuesday, May 29. 1923, under the auspices of the Senior class, to raise money for the Senior class gift to the High School. The talen t is: The Glee Club Miss Muriel Snow '24 .... Mr. Arthur Smerdon '24. . . Mr. james Kearney '24, . . . Mr. Raymond Wicher '23 ............. The committee for the arrangements of this concert Mr. Walter Grant KChairmanD Mr. Walter J. Clemson Miss Muriel L. Needham Miss Ethelyn Maker Mr. Raymond VVicher 82 Cello ' Violin Clarinet Piano
