Glee Club<br />

Under tlie capable leadership of its president,<br />

Tafl\' Knowlton, the Glee Club has contri\ed to be<br />

one of the most popular activities at <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>.<br />

The "Crescendos", a singing group composed of selected<br />

girls from the Glee Club, have performed at<br />

all of our dances and on other occasions such as the<br />

Christmas Program.<br />

On Founder's Day the Glee Club sang many<br />

familiar songs. Perhaps the most impressive of all<br />

their performances was the Christmas Program. The<br />

setting was a winter firesidescene complete with a<br />

Christmas tree and all the trimmings. Dressed in<br />

ski clothes, the club created a realistic atmosphere<br />

which was thoroughly appreciated by the audience<br />

and its homeward bound girls. It was obvious that<br />

a great deal of hard work had been done to make<br />

it a fine evening.<br />

During the month of March the Glee Club participated<br />

with St. James School Glee Club in a joint<br />

concert. The boys, as guests at <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>,<br />

added excitement to the campus. In April, Valley<br />

Forge Military Academy invited the <strong>Mount</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong><br />

Glee Club to a concert at their school. The club<br />

presented a variety of popular songs, and the girls<br />

were greatly impressed with both the cadets and the<br />

campus.<br />

At the end of the year the Glee Club sang at<br />

the traditional Baccalaureate Service and the<br />

"Crescendos" highlighted their <strong>1964</strong> year with songs<br />

at the Commencement Dance.<br />

It has been a successful and eventful year for<br />

the Glee Club and for Mme. Brodenova, their advisor.<br />

Hard work, enthusiasm, and love of music<br />

have been the keys to this success.<br />
