GLEE CLUB NOTES The Winooski High School Glee Club embarked upon another full year of activity. In September voices of Glee Club candidates were tested; from fifty candidates, thirty were chosen. Aline Hatin was elected President of the club. Practices began the last week in September. The first time the club was heard publicly was at a P.T. A. Social, where they were very well received. Enthusiasm ran high when a select few from the club formed an a cappella group which met twice a week directed by Mr. Saucier. The Glee Club and the Caroleers (ana cappella group) were invited to sing at the Champlain Teachers Conference in March. The audience was a very appreciative one, and this gave a great deal of confidence to the Glee Club members. There were many excellent comments from principals and superintendents who attended. Many letters came to the club congratulating it for the splendid renditions. The next part of its activities was to prepare for the Annual Concert, March 30th. John Donoghue was guest soloist, Mrs. Geneva Devino guest accompanist, and most ap- preciative and those attending enjoyed the concert very much as did the Glee Club members themselves.

The critic mentioned especially the posture of the students, their platform appearance, Mr. Saucier’s work in directing and Mrs. Long’s accompaniment. It was a very active club throughout the year. A banner was purchased, thanks to Mr. Lull, our Superintendent, and the kids were very proud to march at the Festival parade. Miss Aline Hatin, president of the Glee Club for the past three years, has been a most efficient and an untiring worker. She will be greatly missed by the club members, by Mr. Saucier and Mrs. Long.
