I MUSIC Music resembles poetry; in which each are nameless graces which no methods teach, and which a master hand alone can reach. The year 1921-1922 may well boast of being the most flourishing year along musical lines in the history of the Wayland High School. The Girl ' s Glee Club contributed greatly toward making the musi- cal activities of the school a success. Some excellent talent was dis- covered during the formation of their organization. Both the Philomathean and Aurora girls ' quartets were a credit to the societies to which they belonged. Their selections were enthus- iastically received by those who attended the programs. The High School Male Quartet made its debut at one of the Lit- erary programs. Their ensemble singing was appreciated because of the excellent phrasing, enunciation and interpretation. Another feature of the musical year was the organization, by Prof. Baumgartner, of the first school band. Few of the members owned in- struments before the organization of this band, but showed their en- thusiasm by faithfully coming to the weekly rehearsals and prepar- ing themselves for public concerts. They are a peppy bunch and have given their loyal support to all High School activities. We may well feel proud of our school band for this present group will form the nucleus for Wayland ' s future band. PERSONNEL OF BAND DIRECTOR — PROF. M. W.

THE • ECLIPSE -1922 Girls ' Glee Club The Girls ' Glee Club, consisting of 18 members, was organized early in the year with Prof. Baumgartner as leader. Although this was the first year for a Glee Club in Wayland High School, it proved to be a great success. The girls have been called upon on many occas- ions to furnish music for school and church activities and have never failed to respond. Near the close of the year, they gave an Indian operetta entitled Feast of the Red Corn by Paid Bliss. The staging and Indian cos- tuming were very effective and the music was up to. ' the high standard which has been the aim of the club.
