MEN ' S GLEE CLUB The Men ' s Glee Club, directed again this year by Miss Addie Belle Long, has completed a high- ly successful year. Notable among the activities of the year was the presentation of the musical comedy, The Desert Song , which was well re- ceived by large audiences at both performances of the play. The Men ' s Glee Club presented groups of members on several occasions throughout the year. Among their performances were those given at the Junior College concert in the fall, at the educational program in May and at com- mencement. The club presented concerts in Santa Barbara and Santa Paula, where they were well received. The Men ' s Quartet, composed of Billy Frank, Harry Carrothers, Alan Hinsdale and Charles Hall, entertained at various times throughout the year at service clubs of the county towns. This organization, which was made up of four of the finest voices in the club, had a large repertoire of pleasing semi- classical songs. The social activities of the Glee Clubs included a barbecue at Ma- tilija soon after the operetta, and a dance at which the club mem- bers were entertained by the Santa Barbara Glee Clubs in the Santa Barbara gymnasium. The officers of the Men ' s Glee Club were Harry Carrothers, presi- dent and Charles Hall, student di- rector. The accompanists were Phoebe Churchill and Elma Mc- Reynolds. HINSDALE, FRANK, HALL.

WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB The Women ' s Glee Club has done much this year in the line of community service. On sever- al occasions the organization has made appear- ances at meetings in various parts of the county. In the early fall, the glee club joined forces with the other musical organizations of the school in the presentation of a very successful concert. In the spring the women aided in the presentation of the Desert Song , which was without a doubt one of the most successful productions ever given by local students. Early in May the glee club journeyed to Santa Barbara where they present- ed two concerts at the high school which were well received by en- thusiastic, though small audiences Probably one of the most popu- lar musical units is the Women ' s Sextette. The girls, all members of the Glee Club, have made a great many ap- pearances throughout the county and in Santa Barbara where their work was highly commended by music critics. Officers of the Women ' s Glee Club were Grace Mossman, student director, and Beatrice Kellen- berger, president. The club was directed again this year by Miss Addie Belle Long. CALL.
