Students who ordinarily would not have time for chorus in their regular daily schedule are able to enjoy an hour of singing during club periods. Then, too, girls pursuing musical careers acquire practice and receive instruction at these meetings. The girls sing religious songs at Christmas and Easter, and during the rest of the time choose whatever they wish. Among the Glee Club's activities has been its participation in the annual Christmas music program pre- sented at Walter Johnson. The club is under the supervision of Miss Virginia Harder, and meetings are planned and presided over by Diane Hopeley. Madrigal Singers A madrigal is a song with parts for several voices sung without the aid of instrument accompaniment. One slight change is in order in the definition as it pertains to the Walter Johnson Madrigal Group, they use a piano accompaniment. The Madrigal Singers con- sist of twenty students chosen for the quality of their voices and their ability to read music. The purpose of the Madrigals is to give an opportunity to the more talented and inter- ested students- to further their appreciation ot music through their participation in group singing, The Group's repertoire includes a variety ot songs consisting ot religious, secu- lar, classical, and popular music.

Chorus Hallelujahl From the chorus room came the strains of the music that the chorus was rehearsing for the winter concert. The Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah was one of the numbers picked for this WJ evening of music. Other numbers included Torah Orah, a Hebrew song, and the old, best loved Christmas Carols such as Silent Night, and lt Came Upon a Midnight Clear, in which the audience joined the chorus. Altogether, the chorus pre- sented a festive program in keeping with the holiday spirit. For the spring concert, more difficult music such as How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place, from the Brahm's Requiem, and the Schubert Mass in G. gave the members of the chorus a greater challenge. On a lighter tone they sang Hi Ho, Nobody Home, and Tumbling Tum- bleweed. This year the chorus and orchestra com- bined in many of their musical efforts. Under Gilbert Muir, the orchestra accompanied the chorus, providing valuable experience for both groups.

Jazz Clubs Ar A measure or more of any music from sym- phonic jazz to the blues could be heard in the vicinity of Jazz Club meetings this year. Members regularly heard recordings by var- ious artists and gave reports on the types and history of jazz. The records were usually from the 400-album collection of William E. Schroeder, club sponsor, and were used to illustrate the discussions. Guest speakers and live performances by students and club mem- bers who play in bands were also on the agenda for this past year. The club is ad- mittedly for pleasure. The Jazz Club, originally dubbed The His- tory of American Music Club, helped its members understand and appreciate jazz mu- sic by studying jazz from its origin, gospel singing, to its most modern and abstract form. Reports furthered members' knowledge of not only the history and the artists who have brought jazz to its present popularity, but of the different types, styles, instruments, and other characteristics of jazz, Officers of Mr. Schroeder's Jazz Club were President Pam O'Callahan, and Secretary- treasurer Louis Smith. Because of jazz's popularity, so many peo- it had Lakey in the Presi- Quay ple flocked to get into the club that to be split into two clubs. Mrs. Nancy sponsored the second group, which met Band Room. Officers for this club were dent Russell Marriott, Vice-President McBrier, and Secretary Pete Bagwell.
