S., Sep- tember, 1924. lt being a new feature of the extra-curricular activities many diiiiculties presented themselves. The main one being finance. Nevertheless the girls were very enthusiastic to have such a club and volunteered to buy their own music. Mimeographed copies were also used to help keep down the burden. Voices were tested and many good ones were discovered and a few, with practice in concert work, could be greatly improved. Of course no one girl had had special voice training, a fact which made the chance for all equal. The members of the Club during 1924-1925 were: Violet Quin ...................................................... President Theodosia Anderson ............ Secretary and Treasurer LaVerna Stewart Miriam Bourne Margaret Kirkman Gladys Linck Mildred Arnold Gladys McMasters Margretta Morin Alberta Cass Ruth Karstetter Lucille Brooks Luella Hurst Mrs. Wood, Director The girls sponsored the operetta Polished Pebbles , which re- lieved them greatly as to finances, and sang for many other occasions. They also believe in mixing merriment with work and between July 29 and August 3 they camped at Shady Beach, when they enjoyed swimming, cooking and resting C?J, Mr. and Mrs. Wood accompanying. When school opened in September, 1925, only six of the old mem- bers were back. But due to our large Freshman class we increased the number to 13.

They pre- sented the operetta, Miss Caruthers Returns and sang for Commence- ment. They are resting rather easy at present as to finances, having bought more music and presented song books to the High School. They are planning to use their money to further the cause of music as soon as opportunity presents itself. Let us boost this great art, music. lt is fundamental in a scheme of public education that aims to make every child an intelligent, useful and moral citizen. It is a force that binds families and human societies closer together. The success of the Glee Club was due to the work of our director, Mrs. Wood and her ability to instruct the girls.
