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.

I El 1 1 I? I: l IS 171 ■I li Y S ' (I LEE CLU IS Perhaps the most interesting feature I the Boys ' Glee Club is its system of Student Government. The boys make their own rulings and govern them as befits any true college glee club. There was a very large group which appeared for trj outs with Miss ddie Belle Long directing, but since the number is limited, ever) one could not belong. The boys who did pass the try outs made a splendid organization and a showing in the community. The big events ot the year lor both the boys ' ami girls ' glee clubs are the fall concert, the Christmas program, the operetta, the two commencement exer- cises, and the assemblies tor which special numbers are prepared.
