They are not only singers, these members of the Girls Glee club; they are also workers toward pleasing voices and pleasant personalities. In their vocalizing exer- cises and in their singing they are also gaining a lasting sense of harmony—One of the most satisfying talents to have. The Glee club has contributed quite a bit toward making school life more enjoyable. Mrs. Kerst, under whose supervision the girls worked the first semester, directed them in a medley of patriotic and war songs for an Armistice Day program in the assembly. Mrs. Kerst and the girls also prepared Christmas music which was not presented because of the early closing of school. The progress of the Girls Glee club this year was somewhat retarded by the chang- ing of teachers in mid year. It is never easy for a group to readjust itself to the unfamiliar habits and ideas of a different director. However, in February the girls made their first appearance at a Washington-Lincoln assembly under the leadership of Miss Lindow. The next performance of the glee club was at a program given in honor of Westfield's returned veterans. Some of the songs were America the Beautiful, When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again and Bells of St. Mary's. The real work of the semester was the Minstrel show given in spring. For this some of the fellows were recruited, and the whole crowd donned black face. The show consisted of jokes, dances and novelty numbers, but its highlight was, as could be expected, the music presented by the ensembles, boy's voices, soloists and the entire Glee club. It has been a busy year for the Glee club, but it has also been a hsppy and profitable one.
