The Girls' Glee Club consists of thirty-one members, representing every class in school. This year the group has made appearances at the following places: Methodist Church, Rally Day Program, Red Cross Benefit Program, and Open House at the high school. The girls' club in combination with the boys' club presented an operetta, The Belle of Bagdad. The members of the cast and chorus were most successful in portraying their individual roles in an effective and convincing manner, thus displaying the many talents of which our school may justly boast. In the spring, representatives of the chorus participated in the Macon County Mass Chorus, which sang at Macon, thus bringing to a triumphant close the county one-act play tournament. On April 23rd, the girls entered the district contest at Pairbury, Illinois. The Boys' Glee Club is made up of twelve members. The boys have made several appearances in combination with the girls' club. They sang in the concert given at the Methodist Church in the fall, and furnished a valuable portion of the talent for the operetta. They also sent representatives to the Macon County Mass Chorus.

The school year of 1937-38 marked a great change in the instrumental program of the Warrensburg school. So many members were lost through graduation that it was necessary to add three violinists and a pianist to those left from last year's band; thus an orchestra was formed. During the second semester, a contest was started with award medals for those participating in the orchestra. The winners will not be known until the end of the year. Changing from one to two rehearsals a week marked a ;reat improvement in the work of the orchestra. As we have several new students entering from the grade school, we are looking forward to a bigger and better orchestra next year. THE CARDINAI
