Glee Club Practicing Hard for Concert
Regular practice for the annual
spring concert by the combined Glee

past several weeks.
Both Directors Theodore Harrison
and Earl Moore are promising varied
programs and are working hard to-
ward making the concert both novel
and entertaining. Descriptive num-

part in the entertainment. As yet the
big feature of the program has not

been definitely set, but will probably
be shortly after the spring holidays.
