THE GLEE CLUBS Blended Voices in Harmony This year the glee club was under the direction of Mrs. Ference, and Guppy noticed that this was her first year with a high school glee club. During the course of the year they learned many fine selections, but those that caught Guppy's ear were Leibestram and I'll See You Again . On several occasions Guppy has had the pleasure of hearing the girls sing at our assemblies. Within the glee club Guppy detected a quartet, who incidentally performed very well on the nights of the Senior Class Play. The members of the quartet were Sophie Shur- matz, Helen Zigarovich, Alma Pogue, and Mary Grace Lovett. Guppy will never forget Sophie when the quartet sang Elmer's Tune at assembly. In early spring, Guppy noticed Seniors, under-classmen and what not--running about the school dressed in bright colored costumes with bright Bowers adorning their hair. T o Guppy's surprise it was operetta time again, and the girls were taking their parts, some as members of the cast and others as natives, sailors, and tourists. Guppy agrees that Mrs. F erence should be given much credit for all the time she spent in getting the operetta ready for presentation. To put the final touch to her work with the glee clubs, Mrs. Ference had a big party in the gym. Everybody had a good time--ask Guppy-- he was there. This year, Guppy says, was a successful one for the Freshman Girl's Glee Club . It was surprising the number oi girls who were more than enthusiastic to join with Miss Hammon to form, what has proved to be a very active organization. Upon observing this group at some of its meetings, which incidentally, were held on Fridays, Guppy noticed that these girls really enjoyed their work. Per- haps they seemed to enjoy it because of the fine way in which it was presented to them or maybe too, because of the very fine selection of music. But still, Guppy has a better reason--the director of the Freshman Girls Glee Club is Miss Hammon, who is a new-comer to the Trafford Schools this year. Much credit is to be given to Miss Hammon for the time she spent in helping to make the operetta the success it proved to be. Besides appearing at assembly on several occasions, the Freshman Girl's Glee Club also played a big part in the school's annual operetta, Crocodile Island . Guppy mustn't forget their piano accompanist and secretary, Florence Mayer and Daisy Chappetti, respectively. At the beginning of the year Guppy had a question on his mind. Who was going to instruct the Boy's Glee Club, since Mr. Renton had left. Finally one day practice for the Boy's Glee Club was called on the stage. When someone said the instructor was coming, Guppy looked at the entrance. He learned that the new instructor was Miss Hammon. Guppy has never missed a practice, isn't that strange? Soon Miss Hammon called for tryouts for the operetta. Guppy naturally tried for the lead, but he went flat and his voice screeked. Finally William Fleming, John Bucar, James Jenets, Carl Dorosa, William Cellich, and Roy Cellich got the male leads. Guppy got a part to scrub and sweep the stage. 29 Just another 'nightingale?
