I El I. A EEI I T l 51 GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The Girls ' Glee Club is bigger and better than ever this year. Growing inter- est in the organization is evidenced by the fact that although the group is limited to twenty-seven, over fifty girls tried out, leaving a waiting list at present in the school of about fifteen. Each girl ' s voice must measure up to a certain standard before she can become a member, so it is quite an honor to belong to the Glee Club, directed by Miss Addie Belle Long. The vocal department of the Ventura Junior College is so highly regarded by the people in the community that it is called upon on the average of about once every week or so to furnish numbers for various programs. The following girls made up the Glee Clubs of both semesters: Jane Bliss Ruth Borrell Dorothy Carter Shirley Clark Dorothy Elwell Phoena Everly Dorothy Farthing Marvelle Gregg Virginia Hearne Jane Kinsey Harriet Kuhns Genrose McGonigle Frances McGrath Margaret Mercer Joan Moore Grace Mossman Rosemary Peters Geneva Pool Mildred Reed Faye Scott AIabel Sorem Virginia Spafford Maebelle Stevenson Bettee Thompson Betty Ward Celia Zapf Clarene Ficken Hester Allen Anon a Soi ires The girls were accompanied by Harriet Hi Top row.
