lielle Alishahon WALLER GIRLS' GLEE CLUB At the beginning of the last semester the girls of XYaller were delighted with the prospect of having a Girls' Cilce Club composed of members of the four classes of the school. XYhen it was announced that this club was to be organized. more than three hundred girls wished to join. A-Xs it was impos- sible to have that number, many were disappointed: we hope that they will be included next semester and will be able to enjoy the singing as much as We have for the past three months. Under the able leadership of Mrs. Doyle, we are sure that we shall accomplish a great deal next year. The following are the members of the club: Soprano First Second Lillian .Xlbert ,Xnnetta Ilarthen Gladys llervey llelen llouscher Rose Costa Margaret Engler Nargarite Erickson Fannie Kussin Alice Lippen Madge Ringlancl First Rose Annotte May Bryan Florence Cook Linnea Larson Eleanor Lehman Louise Roemer Ethel Roth Patrina Soprano .lean Toliver Edna Xlieiler Matilda llieiss Alto Ilelen llaumel Lila Carlson Fern Greene Leona llumbeutal Flora lhrcke Erna Keller Helen Menke Catherine Yolz Florence lYeile1' Second Viola llanks Lillian Biba Dorothy lllatt Lillian Carlson Goldie Fried Florence johnson Mildred Kees Florence Marofske Elsa Mertens Marjorie Pugh Veronica Callaghan, Pianist Evelyn Kiester, Violinist Edna lYeiler, Secretary xii 'bit ' I X X ' ek 0 6 - Q Q l 78

This an- swer implies that the trouble lies elsewhere, and that is just the case, for the student body of XYaller is to blame! First, it does not take enough interest to furnish a sufficient number of players. Second, it neglects to listen atten- tively to the selections. Third, it regards an orchestra of much less importance than an gained through athletics. Fourth, it criticises the playing and players of the orchestra. .Nu organization needs support, not continual criticism, so we hope that in the ensuing year the students of North Division will cheer for the orchestra as heartily as they cheer for other or- ganizations. The orchestra members. under the leadership of Mr. llruce. the di- rector, worked faithfully, industrially and patiently. livery XYednesday. the hfth hour. they reported and worked hard, and success was the result. During the past year the orchestra has given good service at debates. social hour programs, plays, entertainments of various organizations. and gradua- tion exercises. At these public appearances the orchestra has played excel- lent numbers, such as Bridal Roses, lvanhoe and Hungarian Lustspielf' XYe shall lose greatly when Rudolph Guth and his violin graduate from North this june. XX'e greatly appreciate the work he has done as otiicer and faithful member, and we hope that he and his fiddle will always be Hpalsf' John M eltzer, violinist, receives an for his good work in the last two years.
