In the audience of these yearly entertain- ments may be seen many of the former Club members, who make it their bound duty to attend and to offer words of encourage- ment and endearment to their old beloved Club. The Choral Club has been very fortunate in having many of its members continue the study of vocal music, so that now the Club-'s influence may be-found on the professional stage. in our church choirs, on the concert platform, in singing societies, clubs, vocal studios, and, in fact, in all the vocal activities of our city. And what are we, Choral Club l925, doing to keep up the reputation of our older sisters and brothers? VVell, after you finish reading our history, I'm sure you will see for yourselves that we're keeping up the good name of our Club.

Virginia Balmer At our next few meetings we made ar- rangements for our outing, which was given at Ferguson Club on September 26th. It was a great success, although it may seem strange to say so when you recall what a rainy Saturday it was. But everyone came and then, what does a little rain mean when there's a crowd of jolly Choralites, a num- ber of keen pianists, and a favorable dance Hoor? The picnic lasted until five-thirty and then we took the bus to home, sweet home. The greatest event for us this term was our singing for the Teachers, Convention at the Coliseum. Before we received this re- quest from Mr. Hahnel, we had started to work on our Thanksgiving play, but the Club decided that the two programs would be too hard to prepare and so we gave up the play and turned our undivided attention to the practicing of the three songs we sang which were' Italia, 'KPraise God, and The Hiring Fair. . On November 17th, we sang for the Mothers' Club. The program was a gratify- ing success.

It has always been the pleasure of our Club to sing at these exercises, and we are work- ing very hard on them because this will be the last time the Choral Club will be called upon to sing for the Yeatman graduating class. The Club members are anticipating our party which will take place on December 23rd. It's going to be a real Christmas party. just imagine the fun! Don't you wish you were one of us? The Yeatman Choral Club is the only one of its kind in the city, and we owe its or- ganization and success to our instructress, Miss Dussuchal, whose efforts and patience have made the Club what it is today. This concludes the history, both past and present of the Yeatman Choral Club, whose organization started in the earliest days of the school, and whose endeavor it has al- ways been to serve and entertain the school, and to promote the education of its members in a musical way.
