Nabben, Miss Nelson, accompanist, Ingebretson.The Boys’ Glee Club is one of the outstandingmusical activities in the Northwest School. Thisis under the leadership of Miss Hennig. Theboys who are interested in singing have the opportunityof joining. The groups have their practicesweekly. By the excellent leadership of theinstructor the Glee Club is able to perform withharmony.The singing group is presented at annualevents during the school term. The importantevents are Parents’ Day, Thanksgiving, WinterShows and Commencement.The songs which the boys are singing this yearare, Short’nin Bread by Wolfe, Water Boy byPitcher Ave Maria Stella by Grieg, and ItalianStreet Song by Victor HerbertThe Boys’ Glee Club meets every Friday forenoonat 11 :40, or rather are supposed to meetthen. It seems funny that there are so many excusesfor not being on time. There are many interestingthings that occur during that period. Ifyou happen to chew gum you are sure to lose itif Miss Henning sees you chewing and trying tosing at the same time.When a person walks around the campus orby the dormitories, there is a lot of singing andloud too, but it seems so funny that as soon asthey come to practice, everyone is so timid andthey don’t seem to be able to make up their mindwhether they dare open their mouths or not.It seem funny that the basses always take thelast row of seats when there are other seats closerto the front. They know that they have to moveup anyway. Maybe they think they can sing bettersitting there.After singing the song over a few times MissHennig asks if they know their part and they allthink they do, but when she hears them singwithout her accompaniment she knows different.Oh, well it’s all in a lifetime. We all can not beprof essional singers.If we put all the great benefits we derive fromthis class in a nut shell, we must say that we enjoyit very much and most of all we salute MissHennig, our instructor.Page 37
