Page Thirty THE SWASTIKIAN 1 9 28 BOYS’ GLEE CLUB With the thought in mind that music and song are a harmonious blend of sounds, the Boys’ Glee Club of Versailles High School was organized for the year 1927-27. On October 10, 1927, a meeting of those boys interested in Glee Club work was called, and officers for the year were elected. Try-outs were held and those capable of making the organization a success were admitted. Thursday night of each week was set aside as time of practice and rehearsal. At each a fine crowd was present. The Glee Club, under the able and splendid direction of Miss Marybelle Harn, began practice on a Cantata, to be given at the dedication of the new Versailles Public School. The very best efforts of the boys and Miss Harn were directed toward making this undertaking a success. Re-organization, with the same officers in charge, took place. Then came practice for the outstanding event of the year for Glee clubs, the High School operetta. Practice for this required very great effort and patience on the part of the boys and the directress. Officers of the organization are: President, Philip Brandon; Secretary, Elson Spraley; Trea-urer, Emmett Grillot; Sergeants-at-Arms, George Ward and Edwin Begin; Pianist, Madge Falknor. Members are; 1st Tenor—Emmett Grillot, Veatch Smith, Robert Brandon, Ralph Labig, Wayne Berry, Marcus Bornhorst; Second Tenor—Robert Routson, Lowell Apple, Leroy Carnahan, George Ward, George Berry, Harold Pearson, Chalmer E. Burns: 1st Bass—Orlan Oliver, Elson Spraley, Norman Triltschuh, Carl Harman, Rolin Hile, Herbert Eoomerrhine; 2nd Bass—Donald Hile, Paul Gerlach, Melvin Fact, Edson Varner, Paul Foy, Harold Shoemaker, Philip Brandon, Burl Marker, Edwin Begin. .
