Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee club of Thornton Township high school and junior college under the able direction of Miss Florence W. Samuels has accomplished excellent work this year. Although the club lost many of its best singers as a result of last year's graduation, the new members were able effectively to fill the gaps. Miss Samuels deserves credit for molding an extremely large number of inexperi- enced voices suitable for this type of Work. The Christmas program given December 19 in the auditorium was the most difficult ever essayed by the combined Glee clubs and was undoubtedly the most effective. It was presented for the Par- ent-Teacher association and later repeated for the juniors and seniors in an assembly. The traditional custom of singing carols in the cor- ridors before Christmas holidays was again carried out this year. The Boys' Glee club appeared on the program of the annual spring concert held in May. They sang a group of numbers alone and then combined with the girls. Some of the selections were Keep in the Middle of the Road, a negro spiritual, and the Pilgrim Chorus from the opera Tannhauser. The members of the club were chosen from members of the stu- dent body of the high school and junior college. The group consists of thirty-six members. The oflicers were Theodore Paarlberg, libra- rian, and Charles Kennedy, secretary. Page Sixty-one
