SENIOR GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB The girls have just finished shooting their baskets of harmony for the semester under the able leadership of Mrs. Allen. With the perfect cooperation of every member, Mrs. Allen and the girls were able to accomplish wonderful results and merit the praise of all who have had the joy of hearing them. They had the pleasure of singing before the Student Body in an assembly May 4th, when they rendered such enjoyable numbers as Trees, My Creed, The Woman in the Shoe (a novelty number), Play, Fiddle, Play, Gossip Joan, Song of Love, and Willard ' s Hymn. Their golden voices were again heard at the Mothers and Daughters ' Girls ' League Tea, given May 7, and at the June meeting of the Willard P. T. A. We are hoping our auditorium will be ready for use at the beginning of the fall semester, and the club will then have the opportunity of giving an operetta and winning laurels in a new field of entertainment.

HIGH NINE CHORAL One hundred eighty-five students selected music as one of their courses this semes- ter, the very highest enrollment in music in Willard ' s choral history. These girls and boys automatically became members of the High Nine Choral with Mrs. Kellogg as their able leader and accompanist. After many weeks of constant practicing, they scored a smashing hit at their Graduation Exercises held June 17th, 1937. Here in Willard ' s new gymnasium many beautiful numbers were sung with faultless rendition, a thrilling climax for their term ' s efforts.

WILLARD BAND The Willard Band, composed of more than eighty members under the able leader- ship of Mr. Schott, has been rapidly maturing into a finished unit.

LOW TEN CHORAL Thirty-five members of the Low Ten Class elected music as a subject and organized a choral under the leadership of Mrs. Allen. It has been the first and only Low Ten group of its kind in our Berkel ey Department. Two periods a week were devoted to ensemble singing and music appreciation. The history of the opera was fully studied, and many grand and light opera librettos and scores presented and discussed, with sketches and excerpts given by members of the class. There has been concentrated advance In knowledge and appreciation of the theme selected, and the club ' s efforts were hailed as a pleasure and a success as the curtain rang down for the season.
