THE GLEE CLUBS Glce Club work has always held a very prominent place in the curriculum of Tipton High School. Under the supervision of both Mrs. Chrisman and Mrs. Purvis, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs have had an extremely active year. Besides providing advanced training in choral singing, the Glee Clubs have contributed to many programs in connection with both the school and community. They took part in the Music Festival at Muncie and observed National Music Week in collaboration with other schools of the county. The biggest undertaking of the year, however, was the operetta. Presented by the Glee Clubs, it was very successful and proved a fitting climax to the year's musical activities. Work during the forepart of the year was under the able direction of Mrs. Gladys Chrisman. In March Mrs. Lois Sloan Purvis, a former music teacher at Tipton, took over the supervision of the Music Department for the remainder of the year. -- 24..
