Adney, T. so T A 'ss in A .yo- 1' This year over seventy girls, or approximately one-half of the girls of the high school, joined the Girls' Glee Club. Every girl who signified her intention of singing was ac- cepted. The new members of less musical experience gained inspiration and confidence from the older members who joined last year's glee club. Definite progress was noted this year in the club's bal- ance, blending and intonation. Numbers which were includ- ed in the glee club's repertoire and were presented in public performance are Trees by Rasbach and My Task by Ashford. Perhaps the outstatnding ensemble of the music depart- ment this year was the Girls' Triple Trio composed of: First sopranos: Kathryn Fikc, Constance Hartman, Anne Stuitg second sopranos: Gloria Gray, Reatha Bleam, jurane Hoes: contraltos: 'Ioan De Young Dorothy Coeling, and Betty Breese. This year the duties of accompanying the chorus and glee clubs were dixided among three willing and capable ac- companists: Catherine Peppler, Anne Stuit, and Elaine 'Yan Sweden. These three students also combined their efforts in playing a difficult piano trio number at the Spring Festi- xal. T281 De XVent, A. Seikert, L. Hoff- man, K. Fish, R. Van Weiren. S. Regel, B.

This is the second year the journalism class has pub- lished the Beacon. Mistakes made in former years were corrected, and a smaller typc was used, giving the readers this year, actually an extra page of reading material with- out adding another page of copy. The staff put out two special Beacons this year: one at Christmas, the other at Easter. The Christmas issue was printed in red and had a Bethlehem scene on the cover. 'I he issue at Easter time had a very original cover concerning the crucifixion and resurrection of jesus. It was done in black print on golden-rod paper. john Van I-louten designed the covers of the special issues. The Commerce 12 class, under the supervision of Mr. Gander, has done a large part of the publishing of tht paper by typing all the Beacon stencils. Dorothy Coeling, editor-in-chief of the paper, Kathryn Fike, assistant editor, and Virginia XY'ynsma, very capable news editor, have given much of their time and effort through-out the year in order that the Beacon might be a success. Oher cooperative members of the staff are: XVilliam Kalkman, sports editorg Ruth Hoop, business managerg Anna Mae Newman, Yvonne Otteson, Elvin Kiel, Donald Lathrop, Carol Hardy, Betty XY'estveld, Lois XY'iergenga, Mary Lou Vander Brink, typists. Other students also con- tributed during the year. This may be the last Beacon published under normal conditions as in past years. The paper may decrease in size because of the shortage of paper, or it might not be pub- lished as often because ink, stencils, and staples are also scarce. E371

This number may seem small when com- pared with the number of students enrolled in the other musical groups such as the band, orchestra, or girls' glee club, but when we consider the variety of other activities in which the boys of our school may take part, we can feel well satisfied with this turn out. ln this group we hnd mem- bers of all the other school activities such as the student council, the orbit stall, the beacon staff, the dramatics' club, the debate squad and the stars of our athletic teams. At the beginning of the year the voices of these boys were heard indiyidually and compared with the other mem- bers in order to divide this group into four equally balanced parts. This resulted in a fair distribution of tirst tenors, second tenors, baritones and basses. The rehearsal periods of this group proved to be enjoyable as well as educational experiences. An informal air was almost always present offering variety to the daily class routine. This year's Barber Shop Quartette was composed of john Potter, first tenorg Bill Drenten, second tenor, john Peppler, baritone, Howard Breese, bass, This group and the Boy's Glee Club sang at the Second Annual Spring Festival. Anne Stuit acted as accompanist for both the Glee Club and Quartette. i393
