During the year, the Girls' Glee Club worked with Girls' Chorus on secular and religious music, and the Boys' Glee Club perfected the tone and harmony of their music. Comprised of selected A Capella Choir members, the Madrigal Club performed at school and civic functions. Singers were selected on the basis of their ability to sight read and the blend and harmony of their voices.
