MUSIC IS IN THE AIR i The interest in music in our high school has grown remarkably during the past two years. As a result, we have two splendid Glee Clubs, composed of 91 of the 135 enrolled students. From these two groups several special groups have been formed to entertain us at our school plays, assemblies. Farmers’ Institute, etc. Last year the clubs sponsored and gave a very successful operetta Miss Cherry Blossom.” This year we did equally well in the production of Gypsy Rover.” We have been capably represented in all County and Southeastern musical festivals and enterprises. Inez Brafford. Dorothy Pierce. Francis Gaskins, and Clyde Stout represented our school at the Southeastern Festival held in Athens. April 17. 1936. Our vocal music department, which is considered one of the leading departments in the school, is under the direction of Mrs. Florine Williams. Instruction is available on any instrument of the orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Raymond Connett, the immediate objective being the development of a good school orchestra. • This year a beginning group and an advanced group are studying violin. A group of both grade and high school pupils are in the guitar class. The orchestra is small this year as many of our music students graduated last year. Its present size, however, does not prevent its being able to play both marches and orchestra novelties including several numbers of the popular type, such as ‘‘The Music Goes Round and Round.” Several new players are entering a second orchestra and there is a class for cornet and for guitar.
