During the last two years the high school chorus has developed into a girls' glee club. The club has progressed quite rapidly and more difficult music has been used. Several of the girls have sung solos for various programs which were presented throughout the year. Only one concert was performed, and that was at Christmas. However, other plans are in the making for a more active organization. One does not necessarily have to have a good singing voice to be a member. Good cooperation and strict attention become aids to a better organization. Miss Aqnes Jacobson has been the director for the past two years, and Bettie Hetland has been the accompanist for the same period. ......Lois Thompson ......Beverly Sprain Mary Lee Betthauser ...Betty Achterkirch President .....
