There were more good voices to choose from than there have been in the past few years and Mr. Scheig was able to pick sixty-five good prospects. By the time the members had been cut down to Hfty-two, the club was of the highest vaulity. Never before was the high school so fortunate in securing such a fine director. Mr. Scheig, a prominent man in the musical center of VVarren, was all that could be hoped for. One of his chief assets is the experience he had with the Glee Club of West junior Highg this means that he understands a high school glee club. Also he is an excellent coach and a man of pleasing personality. -f - ' , ' Much time and work was spent in preparation of the john Roger's production Miss Bob White which was given by the club at East and West junior High on March 26 and 27. This musical comedy made a big hit and was better than any of the previous plays that the clubs have given. The high school orchestra, also under the direction of Mr. Scheig, a'ccompanied the chorus work in the play and a great deal of the success of the play was due to the way in which they handled the music. The excellence of this performanceuserved as an advertisement and the boys were asked to supply the musical entertainment for the Southington commencement exercises on Tuesday April 28. Each club has, at different times, furnished music for the various debates and assemblies which were held in our own auditorium. The clubs are by no means slow when it comes to fun for they have had, through the leadership of the presidents, Harold Dyer and Mary Wurtemberger, several banquets, picnics and parties to keep the members in good spirit. N Indeed anyone in the high school should feel proud to boast of such a fine club and if they continue to have Mr. Scheig as a director next year and the following years they are sure to meet with success wherever they go.
