Glee Club 1 The Glee Club is composed of pupils selected by the voice teacher. Certain requirements such as tone quality, sight reading, diction, etc., are necessary. There were ninety members, which met twice a week as a regular school subject, receiving M of a point credit. The A Cappella Choir, a smaller group of twenty-eight members was quite active this year. They appeared before P.-T. A. meetings, auditorium sessions, and church affairs. The Girls' Choir composed of sixteen members sang at the Musical Festival held at University City High School. They received a high rating as did the soloists from this group, Elizabeth Stuart and Evelyn Lloyd. Two years ago a band was organized under the direction of Mr. Eugene Van Meter assisted by Mr. Donald Hackett. The members of this band come from high, junior, and elementary schools. They have made great progress. This year was their first appearance. They played for the P.-T. A. who has helped to sponsor it and before an auditorium session. We wish for them every success.

MISS JONES During the school year of 1940-41 the Girl Reserves were active in many projects. Among them were the knitting of sweaters. the making of baby dresses, booties and bonnets for the Red Cross. The work was enjoyed by everyone who participated.

These garments when finished were sent to England to help clothe the refugee children. Every year the girls hold a Candlelight Service and present the new officers and members. The Girl Reserves donated money, as well as fruit. vegetables and canned food. for the Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. ' ln September. the officers attended a conference at Camp Friloha to aid them in planning for their club programs for the year and to exchange ideas with girls from other clubs. ln April the Wellston Girl Reserve Club was represented at the Tri-City Conference at the Y.
