Glee Club The school year 1956-1957 was a most successful year for the Clee Club. Most of this success can be attributed to the leadership of Mr. Ray Sipola, the director. The outstanding production of the Clee Club this year was a Christmas program presented at the last assembly be- fore vacation. The tonal qualities of the singing group was excellent. The Clee Club was effectively accompanied by Paula Simonsen, pianist. Among the gifted soloists for the Christmas program were Carl Rogers, Barbara Croncki, Patricia Bartlett, Louise Anderson, Grace Miller, Sandra Moore, Joyce Bissell, and Carolyn Creenough. Many new members were welcomed into the Clee Club this year. The group meets every XVednesday to learn new selections and to have fun and fellowship with one and an- other. Page Twenty-nine
