During the year it has played for out-of-town banquets, at Lincoln Lodge meetings, and at Jackson Township Com¬ mencement under the fine direction of Mr. Marshall Howenstein.

Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Mar¬ shall Howenstein for her fine cooperation with all school programs as well as for the excel¬ lence of her direction. i iiy The familiar carols of Christmas sung through the halls and at the Yuletide con¬ vocation by the Girls ' Glee Club has be¬ come a tradition.

In white blouses and black skirts they pleased a large audience at their spring . concert. • Page 8.1
